Triple H
While I don't like the political games he plays, I've always respected his in-ring work. He's been in more big matches over the last 5 years than anyone else. His theme music is great and his entrance always gets me hyped up.

The Rock
He was great as a face, but I loved when he was a heel. He's cut some of the best promos in WWE history and was a good worker and never had a problem with putting guys over. He understood the business and realized he didn't have to win every match to stay over. His feud with Austin could go down as the best in WWE history, IMO.

Shawn Michaels
I've been a fan of HBK ever since he entered WWE as a member of the Rockers. He was a great tag-team wrestler and made the transition to singles very well. He missed the 4 years when WWE was on fire, but he helped start the Attitude era. To comeback from his back injury is great. I didn't think he'd still be wrestling...or at least no wrestling full-time, today. I think it's great that young fans are getting a chance to watch him work, because he's one of the best in-ring workers of all-time. He's better as a heel, though. Aside from the problems he had with Hogan prior to SS, I give HBK props for growing up, finding God and leaving his immaturity in the past.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin
He's the guy that helped get me back to watching WWE after I took a break from 93-96 and switched over to WCW. His feud with McMahon was legendary and he was so over, it's something I don't think we'll see anytime soon. I remember being in attendance in Albany, NY in March 1999 when Austin came down to the ring driving a Coors Light beer truck and doused Vince, Shane and The Rock with beer. It's the loudest I've ever heard a crowd at any event I've been too and it's something I'll never forget. It's a shame his neck injuries cut his career short, though.

Kurt Angle
This guy can do it all. He's a master in the ring, can cut good promos (both comedic and serious). I love watching Kurt wrestle because he's one of the few guys who can have a good match with anyone on the roster. He's only been with WWE for 6 years and in that span he's had so many classic matches that you could release a 3-disc set on his career up to this point. He's also changed his style to protect himself more in the ring, as his neck injuries nearly forced him to retire. He's been the co-MVP of WWE in 2005 along with HBK.

--------------------
It was hard to narrow this down to 5. I felt bad leaving guys like Hogan, Benoit, Flair, Undertaker off the list.
