231. Bill Apter

For decades, most wrestling fans got their information from the “Apter Mags”, namely the publications from Bill Apter.  While those magazines maintained “kayfabe”, they were a major part of the life of wrestling fans and the WWE does use many of the pictures that Apter himself took today.  While he never worked for the WWE, this could be a real dark horse candidate.
