BROCK LESNAR
Height: 6' 4"
Weight: 295 pounds
At 6-foot-4, 295 pounds, Lesnar is a rock-solid mountain of chiseled muscle, a superstar who is seemingly destined to accomplish great things in WWE.
Lesnar has already made an impact in the amateur sporting world. Lesnar, 24, 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.
As if growing up working on a farm wasn't good enough to build his frame, Lesnar said he picked up an avid interest in weightlifting and bodybuilding by the time he was in fifth grade. Now, with Paul Heyman on his side, he'll attempt to bring all his tools together and dominate WWE.

STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN
Height: 6' 2"
Weight: 252 pounds
From: Victoria, Texas
Favorite Quote: "And that's the bottom line, 'cause Stone Cold said so!"
Finishing move: Stone Cold Stunner
Career Highlights: WWE Champion (6); Intercontinental Champion (2); Tag Team Champion (4); King Of The Ring 1996; 1997, 1998, 2001 Royal Rumble winner; WCW U.S. Champion (2); WCW Tag Team Champion
Visit StoneCold.com
Stone Cold Steve Austin is arguably the greatest superstar in the history of WWE. A six-time WWE Champion, the Texas Rattlesnake has highlighted three WrestleMania events, won the Royal Rumble match three times, and has had memorable matches against the greatest superstars in the game.
Austin's era of greatness began at the 1996 King of the Ring. After winning the tournament, Austin coined the phrase, "Austin 3:16," which means that "I just whipped your ass!" He would go on to win his first WWE Championship at WrestleMania XIV in 1998 with some help from boxer Mike Tyson, and would then segue into the infamous "Austin vs. McMahon" feud, which propelled sports-entertainment into the stratusphere.
After returning from a career-threatening neck injury in 2000, the Rattlesnake quickly climbed back to the top of the World Wrestling, culminating in his WWE Championship win over The Rock at WrestleMania X-Seven, in front of 67,925 of his fellow Texans at the Reliant Astrodome!
He's a trash-talking, beer-swilling, finger-gesturing, ass-kicking son of a bitch, and millions of World Wrestling fans wouldn't have it any other way!

KEVIN NASH
Height: 6' 11"
Weight: 325 pounds
Finishing move: Jackknife Powerbomb
Career Highlights: WWE Champion; Intercontinental Champion; WWE Tag Team Champion; WCW Champion (5); WCW Tag Team Champion (7)
Kevin Nash is 6' 11" and 325 pounds, and when he sets his mind to something,
he usually accomplishes it.
As WWE Superstar Diesel, Nash set his sights on the WWE Championship. Not only did he win it, in November 1994, but he held it for a full year -- the longest title reign in the past decade.
Nash left WWE in 1996 for WCW. He joined the nWo with Scott Hall, and teamed with Hall to form the Outsiders. They wanted WCW's Tag Team Titles, and they got them. Later, he wanted the WCW Championship. Not only did he win it, but he did so at Starrcade -- WCW's flagship Pay-Per-View -- and defeated Goldberg, ending the former NFL player's much-glorified undefeated streak.
Following the departure of Scott Hall and Hulk Hogan from the nWo, Nash has stepped into the group's leadership role, making the New World Order stronger than ever.

ROB VAN DAM
Height: 6'
Weight: 220 pounds
From: Battle Creek, Michigan
Favorite Quote: "R-V-D"
Finishing move: Five-star Frog Splash
Career Highlights: Intercontinental Champion (2, current); Hardcore Champion (3); ECW Television Champion; ECW Tag Team Champion
Call Rob Van Dam what you will -- "Mr. Monday Night," "The Whole F'N Show," "Mr. Pay-Per-View" -- but the "RVD" who helped lead ECW's invasion of WWE, is better, stronger and wiser.
Van Dam captivated ECW's loyal following with scintillating martial arts skills and eye-popping maneuvers including the Van Dam-inator, the Van Terminator and the Five Star Frog Splash. His magnificent abilities in the ring helped him set an ECW record 23-month reign as World Television Champion. Today, Van Dam says he's at the peak of his career, having fully recovered from a broken fibula that halted it for three months. And that's scary for anyone who thinks they can stop who is has every right to brag about how great he is! Just ask the man who discovered him:
"We built a huge part of ECW around Rob Van Dam," said Paul Heyman. "I have no regrets about that. He is perhaps the most spectacular athlete that his industry has to offer today."

KANE
Height: 7'
Weight: 326 pounds
Finishing move: Chokeslam
Career Highlights: World Wrestling Federation Champion; Intercontinental Champion; Tag Team Champion (6); WCW Tag Team Champion; Hardcore Champion
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. Once a man of no emotion, Kane has somewhat broken out of his shell. However, the 7-footer still remains a monster in the ring.

BILLY KIDMAN
Height: 5' 10"
Weight: 195 pounds
Finishing move: Shooting Star Press
Career Highlights: WCW Cruiserweight Champion (5); WCW Tag Team Champion (2); WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Champion
Billy Kidman is one of the elite superstars spearheading the resurgence of the cruiserweight division in WWE.

One look at his Shooting Star Press is enough to realize that Kidman has the explosiveness to make a big mark in sports entertainment.

HOLLYWOOD HULK HOGAN
Height: 6' 7"
Weight: 275 pounds
From: Tampa, FL
Favorite Quote: "What'cha gonna do?" Finishing move: Running Leg Drop
Career Highlights: WWE Champion (6)
In the 1980s, Hulk Hogan, the performer, and Mr. McMahon, the promoter, revolutionized professional wrestling, taking it from dark, smoke-filled arenas to the mainstream. When Mr. McMahon created WrestleMania in 1985, the main attraction was Hogan. Two years later, Mr. McMahon wanted WrestleMania to be "bigger, badder and better" than ever. WrestleMania III, then, was held in front of 93,172 fans at the Pontiac Silverdome. The main attraction? Hogan. By the time Hogan left the World Wrestling in the early 1990s and jumped to WCW, he was such a big star that WCW became legitimate competition for World Wrestling Entertainment. In 1996, he joined two other former WWE Superstars -- Scott Hall and Kevin Nash -- to form the nWo, and WCW's ratings even surpassed WWE's!
But boosting ratings was merely an externality to Hogan and his nWo cohorts. They were only out for themselves. It didn't take long for WCW competitors to realize that, and eventually fans did as well. They were both driven away in droves as the weeks and months went by. In 2001, WCW went out of business.
Mr. McMahon brought Hogan back with the intention to destroy WWE. But once the Hulkster rekindled his relationship with the fans, he decided he wanted no part of McMahon or the nWo's evil ways. Shortly after his return, Hogan captured his sixth WWE Chmpionship by pinning Triple H at Backlash.
Now, Hogan has once again become one of the most popular athletes on the planet. And whatcha gonna do when Hulkamania runs wild on you?

KURT ANGLE
Height: 6' 2"
Weight: 220 pounds
From: Pittsburgh, PA
Favorite Quote: "It's true. It's true." Finishing move: Angle Slam
Career Highlights: World Wrestling Champion (2); WCW Champion; Intercontinental Champion; European Champion; WCW U.S. Champion; King of the Ring 2000; Hardcore Champion
Kurt Angle captured national attention in 1996 when he won the 220-pound freestyle wrestling competition at the Olympic Games in Atlanta. And the extraordinarily proud Angle -- some would say conceited -- surely won't let anyone forget about it!
When the crowd has the audacity not to cheer for him, Kurt wonders aloud how anyone can boo an Olympic gold medalist.
In 2000 -- Angle's first full year in World Wrestling -- the Pittsburgh native had probably the best rookie campaign in history. After winning the European and Intercontinental titles, Kurt took 2000 King of the Ring crown. Then, in October, he won the World Wrestling Championship, defeating The Rock at No Mercy.
The momentum did not stop in 2001. Angle won the World Wrestling Championship for a second time -- beating Stone Cold Steve Austin in Angle's hometown -- as well as the WCW Title.
Whether the crowd is chanting "Angle! Angle!" as they did that night in Pittsburgh, or, more likely, "You suck! You suck!" there's no denying Kurt Angle's accomplishments. When it's all said and done, Angle could go down in history as the greatest of all time. Oh, it's damn true!

TRIPLE H
Height: 6' 4"
Weight: 246 pounds
From: Greenwich, Connecticut
Favorite Quote: "I am the Game and I am that damn good."
Finishing move: Pedigree
Career Highlights: WWE Champion (5); Intercontinental Champion (4); Tag Team Champion; European Champion (2); King of the Ring 1997
Triple H calls himself "The Game," and you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who disagrees with that assumption.
Since making his WWE debut in the spring of 1995, Hunter Hearst Helmsley has done it all in the sports-entertainment industry. He's the only man in the history of the business to have been a Grand Slam Champion and to have won King of the Ring and the Royal Rumble.
Triple H's dedication to the business was never more evident than on the May 21, 2001, episode of RAW. On that night, The Game teamed with Stone Cold Steve Austin to take on Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho in a Tag Team Championship match. During the bout, Triple H tore his left quadriceps muscle completely off the bone. Yet The Game found the heart to finish the bout, never once even thinking about giving up.
After eight months of hellacious rehab, The Game returned to a hero's welcome on the Jan. 7, 2002, episode of RAW. Now a fan favorite for the first time in years, Triple H has also broken up with his wife, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley. And now, Triple H finds himself on top of WWE once again.

THE UNDERTAKER
Height: 6' 10"
Weight: 328 pounds
From: Death Valley
Finishing move: Last Ride Powerbomb
Career Highlights: WWE Champion (4) (current); WWE Tag Team Champion (6); WCW Tag Team Champion; Hardcore Champion
If any one superstar symbolizes WWE, it's the Undertaker.
For more than 11 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 had the privilege of performing in the main event at WrestleMania 13. In fact, Taker's WrestleMania record is second to none -- he is an amazing 10-0 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.
Although he has been cheered for most of his career, the fans have begun to boo the American Badass as of late. Taker has been on a constant conquest for respect, and that has come at the expense of some of the most popular superstars in sports entertainment. If any man has earned respect over the past 11 years, it's the Undertaker -- and he's determined to make the fans show him some respect.
