I think Austin, Hogan and Rock are in the top 3 (order interchangable) but Savage is pretty much in the tier after that.  I'd place him at 5 just below Michaels at 4 and just in front of Flair at 6.  He is in front of Bret for me because he is a beter promo guy and talker.  I don't think I put Taker ahead of him because Taker usually wrestles at the level of his opponents and has had some stinkers the past few years.  HHH is nowhere near these guys and I put Foley/Mankind in front of him.  To think about it, Jericho probably belongs in my list as well.  Not any of the guys currrently headlining the E is even close to any of these guys.

Hogan or Rock aren't great wrestlers but I have to stick them in my top 3 because of cultural relevance and crossover appeal.
