324.  Mike Graham

Nepotism runs rampant in wrestling (like almost every other industry) and it has led to some people who have competed in the ring who had no business being in the squared circle.  Mike Graham may not have been a superstar on a national level, nor was he the main draw (though fairly high up in Florida) regionally, but the undersized grappler was a technical marvel and one hell of an entertainer for those who loved to watch mat based wrestling.  If Mike Graham would have ventured out of Florida more in his prime and if he was a few inches taller, the sky could have been the limit for him.
