The Undertaker If any one superstar symbolizes WWE, it's the Undertaker. For more than a dozen years, the Undertaker has been a WWE mainstay. He's feuded with all the greats -- from Hulk Hogan and the Ultimate Warrior to Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock -- and lived to tell about it. No other superstar has ever had the run of success enjoyed by the American Badass -- no one. A four-time WWE Champion, Taker has had the privilege of performing in the main events all over the U.S., North America and the world. In fact, Taker's WrestleMania record is second to none -- he is an amazing 11-0 at Mania events! The Undertaker has also been at the forefront of some of the most original matches and concepts in WWE history. He is the innovator of Inferno Matches, Casket Matches, and, of course, the famed Hell in the Cell Match. ______________________________________________________________ Brock Lesner At 6-foot-4, 295 pounds, Brock Lesnar is a rock-solid mountain of chiseled muscle, a Superstar who was seemingly destined to accomplish great things in WWE. Brock lived up to the hype by defeating none other than The Rock at SummerSlam to become the youngest WWE Undisputed Champion ever! Lesnar has already made an impact in the amateur sporting world. He become an NJCAA Champion in 1998. He transferred to the University of Minnesota and promptly won the Big 10 Championship, but was a runner-up in the NCAA Tournament. He capped off his senior season by again winning the Big 10 Championship and then securing the NCAA heavyweight title. In 2000, Lesnar signed a developmental contract with WWE and began to learn the professional game at Ohio Valley Wrestling in Louisville, Ky. In doing so, he turned down opportunities to try out with several NFL teams. In perhaps his most amazing display of strength and athleticism, Lesnar hit his devastating finisher, the F-5, on the 7-foot-2, 500-pound Big Show. That's a feat made even more unbelievable by the fact that the former champ was suffering from a broken rib at the time! With that kind of drive and dedication, Brock Lesnar will be a perennial contender for the WWE Championship. _____________________________________________________________ Goldberg In the late 1990s, the popularity of Goldberg in WCW was equal to that of Stone Cold Steve Austin in WWE at the same time. A bona fide mainstream phenomenon, Goldberg captivated the imagination of fans around the world. His undefeated streak from 1997 to 1998 is the stuff of legend, as is his victory over Hulk Hogan for the WCW title at the Georgia Dome. But when WCW was purchased by WWE two years ago, Goldberg disappeared. Just like that, the phenomenon vanished, cutting short an amazing career that lasted a mere four years, and leaving fans to fantasize about what might happen if he joined WWE. At WrestleMania XIX, those fans found out that their fantasies would now be reality.
