268. Jose Lothario

Is it probable that most wrestling fans would have no idea who Jose Lothario was had he not trained Shawn Michaels and managed him during his first WWE World Championship Run?  We admit we are in that group and largely missed the hybrid of American and Mexican wrestling that he developed in Texas.  Lothario may never have been a main event combatant but he was a decent mid card wrestler and aided many in looking good in the ring through his various tag teams.  His work with the WWE might look in his favor one day.
