The Undertaker is perhaps the most awesome presence the Federation has ever seen. The Man from the Dark Side has taken on a darker edge as of late, with the formation of the Corporate Ministry, a group which also includes Shane McMahon. Thanks to his alliance with Shane, he defeated Austin for the Federation Championship in May.

Until April, the Corporation and the Ministry of Darkness existed as separate entities in the World Wrestling Federation. But both had a common goal: to seize control of the Federation from Vince McMahon. The Undertaker, the leader of the Ministry, and Shane McMahon, the leader of the Corporation, decided to unite their forces to target Stephanie McMahon, Vince’s daughter and Shane’s own sister. Their plan worked, and the Corporate Ministry is now the most powerful group in the World Wrestling Federation.

The Undertaker has been a haunting force since he entered the Federation at the 1990 Survivor Series. He has since transformed into a frightening power. He promises his Corporate Ministry will dominate all those who oppose him and so far he has more than lived up to those words.

No superstar in history has made more of an immediate impact than Kane. On October 5, 1997, the world met Kane, as the seven-foot monster tore off the door to "Hell in the Cell" in order to get to his brother, the Undertaker. The siblings later fought in the first-ever Inferno Match!

Less than one year after he arrived, Kane became the World Wrestling Federation Champion by defeating Stone Cold Steve Austin at the 1998 King of the Ring. Though his reign was short-lived, the seven-foot monster proved he could live up to all expectations.

Since then, Kane has been a Tag Team Champion on three occasions. Whether he’s teaming up with X-Pac or competing in singles competition, the Big Red Machine seems to feel no emotion—he only knows how to dish out punishment.

No other cruiserweight in the world carries the kind of reputation that Rey Mysterio does. A phenomenon who has competed all over the world, he is one of the very few competitors in sports-entertainment history who can claim to have literally changed the game.

His innovative high-flying maneuvers and lightning-fast style helped open the doors to lighter weight wrestlers over the course of the 1990s. Originally a star in Mexico, he has taken his trade everywhere from Japan to ECW to WCW. Now, finally, he has made his way to WWE, once again wearing the mask that helped make him a legend.

The cruiserweight division looks to be heating up more than ever before, thanks to the man whose name translates as "Mystery King". When all is said and done, his name could be placed among the all-time greats.

Triple H was first known for wrestling in WCW as Terra Ryzin but didn't gain much popularity there. He left for the World Wrestling Federation and ended up there under the name of Hunter Hearst-Helmsley. He potrayed a rich snob-like character and had a big feud with Duke "The Dumpster" Droese. After a few years he won a few titles and became the King of the Ring in 1997. He then joined up with Shawn Michaels under the name of Triple H (stands for his former name). They started D-Generation X, a group who dosn't listen to authority and does whatever they want.

After Michaels left the group, Triple H became the leader and they got new memebers. After great success of the group, especially with their feuds against the Nation, they broke up and Triple H received the WWF Heavyweight Championship. He then ended up marrying Vince McMahon's daughter Stephanie in a sneaky manor. He continued his reign at the top of the WWF until he got a knee injury where he was gone for about six months of 2001. He came back stronger than ever and has become the second undisputed World Champion.

His future looks to be as bright as his past, so expect more championships from Triple H in the future!

In the AWA, Anoai wrestled as Kokina Maximus, managed by Sheik Adnan Al-Kaissie. In Japan, he used the Great Kokina gimmick. As part of the Hawaiian Beasts, Anoai captured a portion of the UWA (Universal Wrestling Association) World Trio title from Villanos I, IV and V on April 7, 1991. On June 26, 1992, Kokina and Samu beat Scott Norton and Killer Bee in Tokyo, Japan.

During the fall of 1992, Vince McMahon brought Anoai to the World Wrestling Federation. At the 1992 Survivor Series, Yokozuna downed Virgil. Yokozuna won the 1993 Royal Rumble battle royal, thus earning himself a WWF title shot.
At Wrestlemania IX in Las Vegas, NV, Yokozuna (managed by Mr. Fuji) defeated Bret Hart to briefly capture the WWF title.
Yokozuna, now being managed by Fuji and Jim Cornette, Yokozuna defeated Hulk Hogan at the 1993 King of the Ring in Dayton, OH to regain the WWF title.
At the 1994 Royal Rumble, Yokozuna defeated The Undertaker in a "casket match."
Yokozuna defeated Lex Luger at Wrestlemania X in New York, NY.
With Fuji and Cornette in their corners, Yokozuna and Owen Hart defeated the Smokin' Gunns at Wrestlemania XI in Hartford, CT to capture the WWF World Tag Team title.

In late 1996, Yokozuna failed a physical by the New York State Athletic Commission, which revolked his wrestling license in just about every State. As a result, McMahon fired Anoai.

Hulk Hogan revolutioned professional wrestling in the 1980's bringing its popularity to new heights with Vince McMahon and the WWF. He quickly won the WWF Heavyweight Championship and the hearts of Americans and the rest of the world. He was known as "the Real American" and took on all comers.

Hogan wrestled in the first nine WrestleManias; his biggest match was at Three, where he wrestled the 500 pound Andre the Giant. He is known for his fininsher of the Leg drop and being a true American. He has had many friends in the WWF: Macho Man, Brutus Beefcake, and Elizabeth, to name a few.

In 1993, he wrestled his last match in the WWF - against Yokozuna - as he was headed to WCW. He quickly became a major star and won the WCW title. Between federations, he starred in Thunder in Paradise, a weekly syndicated show.

In 1996 to the shock of many, he joined Kevin Nash and Scott Hall to form the New World Order (nWo) and became a bad guy. The group reigned supreme and he won the WCW title a total of six times. In 1999, he went back to Hulk Hogan, the patriotic wrestler. He left for a while from 2000 to 2002.

In 2002, he returned to the WWF, now called WWE, as Hollywood Hulk Hogan, part of the nWo. He soon left and became a mixture of Hollywood and Hulk. He won the WWE Championship again, the sixth time, and won his first Tag Team Championship with Edge in July of 2002. He left for a while and returned back to the WWE in January 2003.

Hulk Hogan is one of the most recognized wrestlers in the history of professional wrestling and will truely be remembered when he retires for good.

<b>AKA BALLHATER</b>

Goldberg was the premier man in WCW from the start. He quickly became a force to wreckon with with his impressive win streak of over 173 before getting his first loss to Kevin Nash. He is known for his bald head, bulging muscles and black tights. His raw power in the ring is shown with his awesome finisher the Spear. His other popular move includes the Jackhammer, which is done just before the Spear, to punish his oppents and then pin them.

He started in WCW but quickly ended up on his undefeated streak. He beat Hollywood Hogan on a memorable edition of Nitro to win the championship, but lost it sometime later to Kevin Nash. In 2000, he teamed with Bret Hart and won the Tag Team Championships together. Goldberg took some time off in that year after hurting his hand when he punched in the window of a car. He came back, but WCW folded.

Goldberg has been out of wretling for some time, but joined WWE in the spring of 2003. Look for him to become a major force in the WWE just like he was in WCW!

Ric Flair is the sixteen time champion of World Championship Wrestling. He began wrestling in the 1970's and is one of the original members of the Four Horsemen, the elite group of great wrestlers.

His signature move is the Figure Four Leg Lock. Flair comes out to the ring with the theme song from 2001: A Space Odyssey. He is a native of Charlotte, North Carolina, but he has wrestled all over the world defending championships.

Not only is Ric Flair a sixteen time champion of WCW, but he is also a multi-time WCW United States Champion and he has also won the WWF Heavyweight Championship on one occasion.

Ric Flair shocked the world when he ended up on RAW and said he was a part owner of the WWF! He then took control of RAW and drafted people to be in his group. He also wrestled Vince McMahon at Royal Rumble 2002. Since then he has taken on a managerial role Triple H and then Batista.

After playing football at the University of Miami, Florida, and for several pro teams, Luger started wrestling. He was considered a physical phenomenon at the time, and quickly worked his way through the Florida territory, defeating Wahoo McDaniel for the Florida Title. He wrestled Ric Flair in Florida for the NWA title, and then went on to World Championship.
He started as a face, but then became the Horsemen Protege, and after a few weeks in that position, moved in as a full fledged Horsemen after the group outsted Ole Anderson for missing some matches. After winning the race with fellow Horsemen Arn Anderson to see who would get the US title from Nikita Koloff, Luger was outsted.
Luger began running as a face again, and would go on to feud with Barry Windham after he turned on Luger in a tag match to join the Horsemen. Luger would fight Flair for the WCW title at Starrcade, but failed to win the belt, even after beating Flair clean with the Torture Rack in a non-title match. Luger's next big chance at superstardom came in the WWF, after joining the fed as a heel called The Narcissist.
Luger would come to the ring, and admire his body in a gigantic mirror before and after his matches, but that gimmick finally ended. The powers at be decided to give him a monster face push, by having him wearing red, white, and blue, arriving by Helicopter, and body slam Yokozuna on the US Independence during a special 4th of July contest. This led to the "All American" monicker, and Luger finally became a major player. After beating Yokozuna by count out, Luger's push began to die, and after his tag partner, the British Bulldog, turned on him and joined Jim Corronette, Luger's push died even further, but things would change for Luger after that.
Luger made a huge impact when he showed up at the first ever WCW Monday Nitro at the Mall of American in Minnesota. After debuting, he took Vader's place at War Games, and then started to go heel, sometimes teaming with Kevin Sullivan's Dungeon of Doom, and with Jimmy Hart as a manger.
Luger still remained loyal to Sting, despite the fact that Sting's main buddy, the Macho Man, wanted to tear off Luger's head. Luger became a solid face again when the NWO arrived, and Luger was one of the group that took on the group.
After Hogan's heel turn, and Sting started the Crow gimmick, Luger became the WCW's head face, and fought the NWO single handidly at times. His biggest moment came on the first 3 hour Nitro in 1997 when he defeated Hogan for the WCW title. He lost the belt a week later at Road Wild. Luger remained a face, and began teaming with Sting sometimes when he showed he was on WCW's side.
After Kevin Nash split from the NWO and formed the Wolfpac, Luger came out and helped run out the NWO during the begining of a Nitro, and joined the group, and then brought in Sting. After sitting on the sidelines for a while in the group, he went heel with Nash, and dumped Konnan from the group. The Wolfpac rejoined NWO Hollywood. Luger began feuding with former stable mate Konnan and Rey Misterio Jr., but suffered a torn bicep.
He's been out, but has been scene on TV with Miss Elizabeth, who is rumored to be his new girlfriend offcamera, and helped Nash against Goldberg at Spring Stampede by giving out a chair shot to Goldberg. He was also scene talking to Ric Flair in the President's office backstage, which has led to rumors he may jump to the Horsemen.
After a few months off, Luger came back to confront Sting about his alliance with Hogan. Luger said Hogan was the hummer driver who injured Nash, and Hogan denied it. Luger and Sting came to blows on Nitro, but during Fall Brawl, it was revealed it was all a scheme by Luger and Sting to lure Hogan, and Sting attacked Hogan with the blackball bat, and won the WCW title. The next night, the duo attacked Ric Flair. Luger then hit Bret Hart in the face with the ball bat, injuring him.
Luger continued his heel antics, even turning on Sting, when Luger and Elizabeth set him up at Starrcade. Liz cracked him in the head with a ball bat, which cracked his skull, and luger broke his wrist with a chair.
Luger then went on to do mocking interviews of Sting on TV, dressed in make up and all, and wearing a trench coat. Lex Luger had another small feud with Sting and Liz pretended she was with Sting but she turned her back on him.

In 2001, Lex Luger teamed up with Buff Bagwell and formed a tag team called "Totally Buffed". WCW was sold to the WWF and McMahon did not show any interest what so ever into bringing Luger to the WWF. In fact Mcmahon said "The Lex Express ran out of gas years ago". That's our answer right there.

Chris Benoit is one of the best technical wrestlers alive today. He was trained by the legendary Hart family in Calgary, Alberta. He wrestled for a few years in Canada, and then was brought to the United States with Extreme Championship Wrestling.

After his stint in ECW, he moved to World Championship Wrestling where he gained mainstream success in America. He was known for his wrestling skill and was one of the Four Horsemen with the likes of Ric Flair and Arn Anderson. It took him a few years, but he did win the WCW Heavyweight Championship in January of 2000, but he quit the company and headed for World Championship Wrestling.

He entered WWF with Perry Saturn, Dean Malenko and Eddie Guerrero and has had great success. He won the Intercontinental Championship, had a great feud with Chris Benoit and wrestled some great matches on pay-per-view. While he was poised at the top to be at his best ever, he suffered an injury that sidelined him for about a year. He was drafted to Mr. McMahon's Smackdown!, but he returned to Ric Flair's RAW. Now he seems to go wherever he wants to. Look for him to climb back to the top very soon!

The owner of the WWE!
