223. Dean Ho

Unlike other Japanese American wrestlers of the 1970’s, Dean Higuchi did not wrestle as a foreign heel bedecked in rising sun paraphernalia.  Rather, His last name was replaced with Ho (an obvious play on popular Hawaiian singer, Don Ho) and he wrestled as a good guy for the bulk of his career.  Ho would use technical skill, power and martial arts to develop a fluid wrestling style and he was one half of the Tag Team Champions with Tony Garea in 1973.  His singles wins in the WWE were not high profile but he did have big wins for the NWA promotions in San Francisco and Vancouver and had a long feud with Gene Kiniski.  This however will probably not add up to a Hall of Fame resume.
