The Superstars of WWE are its growth drivers. The promotion would never have grown to the extent that it has without the popularity of its superstars.

The memories of the superstars from decades past serve as the foundation upon which the WWE’s future model of success is built.

The WWE delivered a slew of superstars in the 1980s, and the fans of those individuals have remained loyal to the organization – all the while demanding more of the same.
