John Cena, Randy Savage, 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin
What is this timeline:
Not so much of a timeline in truth as it is about talking about the (alternate) history of wrestlers throughout the years and their careers, accolades and possibly their personal lives as well
Anyway i'll start off:
John Cena
Background:
John Cena is a famous wrestler, predominantly known for his work in Mexico (predominantly AAA) where he is one of the most successful stars of all time for the promotion, with his name synonymous with modern AAA and Mexican Wrestling. He is most known for his feud with Latin Lover between 2005-2007 and again between 2009-2012 which many consider the greatest rivalry in AAA history and one of the best in modern mexican wrestling, his on and off feud with Alberto El Patron between 2008-2011 and again in 2015 along with feuds with Psycho Clown, Cibernetico, El Mesias and mentro Dr Wagner Jr.
Cena is credited by many foreign wrestlers to opening up Mexican wrestling to a western audience, with him also enjoying a cult following amongst wrestling fans in the United States and all over the world.
He is also a cross over superstar having appeared in many famous telenovas and having broken into hollywood in recent years, with a recurring in telenovas such as La Reina del Sur and La Patrona as well as one of the main protagonists in El Clon and Alguien Te Mira. He has also featured in movies such as Sisters, Daddy's Home, Bumblebee, Dolittle and will feature in the new Fast and Furious movie.
Originally signed with Ultimate Pro Wrestling between 1999-2001, he would briefly sign with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in 2000, however after a rather uneventful run in the company, he'd be released in the spring of 2002 (where he'd sign with AAA in the winter of the same year).

Randy Savage
Background:
Depending on who you ask, Randy Savage may be the greatest wrestler of all time (granted, this is a very subjective criteria). He was the face of the golden era of the WWF in the 1980's, with his over the top personality making him an all time fan favourite. His feuds with the likes of Rowdy Roddy Piper, Ultimate Warrior, Iron Sheik, Seargent Slaughter and others was watched by millions across america each week with his in ring work and promos captivating audiences nation wide.
Savage would eventually leave the WWF in 1989 after it was becoming apparent that he was going to be phased out from the ace role and would join the NWA, where he'd remain until his retirement in 2004 (with his retirement match against student Jay Lethal, with Miss Elizabeth at ringside managing him).
Savage's run from 1989-1994 was considered one of the most engaging runs, with Savage taking the NWA to new heights, with Bill Watts and then later Dusty Rhodes booking Savage both as the fan favourite and the disgruntled heel, with the trio of Flair, Steamboat and Savage particuarly in the late 80's and early 90's being able to turn the company around and change its fate from going under to becoming the largest promotion in the United States and the world (a reputation that holds till today).
Post Retirement, he has kept largely quiet with his wife Miss Elizabeth and their children and grandchildren, mostly avoiding the public eye other than the occasional appearance on TV for the NWA and making cameo apperances on TV, movies and music videos.
Accolades:

WWF World Heavyweight Championship - 6 Times
WWF Intercontinental Championship - 3 Times

'Stone Cold' Steve Austin
Background:
'Stone Cold' is someone many people have lived through vicariously (especially as he feuded with the Network and his interactions with Cyrus) and is considered one of the Icon's of not only ECW, but of wrestling in general (having been voted the most popular wrestler of all time and coming in fourth in the all time poll, behind only Randy Savage, Ricky the Dragon Steamboat and Ric Flair), originally signed with WCW as 'Stunning' Steve Austin, after being let go by Eric Bischoff, Stone Cold would find a permanent home at the Home of Extreme with his edgy persona. His feud and partnership with real life best friend Brian Pillman would change the look of wrestling forever throughout the mid 90's, with a real life grittiness (including the Pillman's got a gun promo and their tag team title win at Wrestlepalooza against Raven and Christopher Daniels with the Flock being at ringside at Wrestlepalooza 2000). He also held the record for most title defences with the ECW World title (recording 27 defences, a record that would stand until CM Punk surpassed him in 2013, and then Bryan Danielson in 2016).
Paul Heyman even credited him for him for being the major reason that ECW has survived and has become one of the largest promotions in the world today (along with Eddie Gurrero, Pillman, Benoit, Jericho, RVD, Sandman, Raven and Tommy Dreamer amongst others).
Stone Cold retired in 2004 from in ring competition at November to Remember of that year in front of 100,000 people at the DKR Memorial stadium in Texas (which still is the largest attendance for a wrestling event in the United States). He now mostly makes appearances sporadically and hosts one of the biggest wrestling podcasts alongside friend Brian Pillman (with names from all over the wrestling world coming
Accolades:

ECW World Championship - 6 Times
ECW Television Championship - 3 Times
ECW Tag Team Championship - 7 Times (5 With Brian Pillman, 2 With the Sandman)
