#5 The New Generation Era (1993-1997): Yokozuna

Yokozuna was a big bad giant that fans loved booing out of the building

The late Yokozuna maybe the most undervalued WWE anti-hero of all time. He was managed by the also late great Mr. Fuji, and was just someone fans loved to hate.

The reason why Yokozuna could make people hate him was because he was near unbeatable, and dominated most of his opponents, hence, fans hoped that every time when someone would step in the ring to fight him, this would be the occasion the underdog would overcome the odds and defeat the giant.

At WrestleMania 9, Yokozuna won the then WWF Championship title from Bret Hart with the help of Fuji, only to lose it to Hulk Hogan on the same night. But after regaining the title again from Hogan soon after, he then defended the title against Hart at WrestleMania 10. Bret managed to pull out all the stops and beat Yokozuna for the title, and the crowd went wild for "The Hitman".

This moment would have meant nothing if it wasn't for the fact that Yokozuna had created such an indestructible image of himself with the help of WWE's strong booking of the big man. Hart became the company's top guy after that, a testament to Yoko.

Yokozuna would create moments like that again, such as when Lex Luger bodyslammed him, which got a huge reaction from the fans too (although Luger did not capitalise like Bret).

WWE really struck a gem with Yokozuna, and I hope fans will remember that in the years to come. He was a villain fitting of his time.
