On December 14th, World Wrestling Entertainment will release a three-disc compilation set that ranks the top fifty superstars of all time. More to the point, it is the top fifty superstars who have ever stepped foot inside a WWE ring. So no Muta, Misawa, Kobashi, etc. And before you even ask, “He Who Shall Not Be Named” isn’t there either. WWE DVD News (via F4WOnline) has obtained the full ranking of the fifty superstars that comprise this set. No real shockers, except maybe the placement of some.
