Stone Cold Steve Austin has narrowly edged out fellow WWE legend The Undertaker to be crowned the best wrestler of all time.

The 55-year-old wrestling icon became a linchpin figure for Vince McMahon's promotion during the 1990s and was at the forefront of the fan-favourite Attitude Era.

Stone Cold, who is widely regarded as one of the best superstars in WWE history, once again came out on top of the pile.

Bleacher Report compiled the rankings and awarded each wrestler a score from 1 to 10 in five different categories: career, look, in-ring ability, mic skills and marketability.

And then the publication awarded an overall score to each wrestler, with Stone Cold receiving a 45 out of a possible 50 score.

Future WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker, who announced his retirement from pro wrestling in June, came second with a 44 out of 50 rating.
