WWE Superstars are so closely connected to their fans that people celebrate them like an idol and if they hate a Superstar, they treat them like their enemy.

Here is a list of the top five beloved WWE Superstars of all time.
5. The Undertaker
The Undertaker is one of the beloved wrestlers in WWE, who has been owning the hearts of generations. Although being adapted to a terrifying dark-horror gimmick, the Deadman was never being booed or hated by their fans.

He gained mainstream popularity by his charismatic persona, fearless attitude, and stunning moves.
His feud with McMahon and The Rock made him gain a huge fan base. The fandom after a point became huge, where he was cheered for being a heel (Anti-hero). The Broken skull, Beer drinking machine has always been cheered across eras. He retired from wrestling in early 2000’s but still a broken glass sound could make the crowd go wild.
