163. Mick McManus
As “The Man You Loved to Hate”, Mick McManus was one of the first major stars of European Wrestling and did so while performing the majority of his career as a dastardly heel. Amazingly, he would become a huge celebrity in his native England, and though he had a conniving sneer and broke the rules often, he elicited such a strong reaction from the fans that they could not get enough of him. McManus also was the booker (which may explain why he rarely lost), but British Wrestling is better off for having him. What that has to do with the WWE is limited, but a British legend is not the worst induction.
The Bullet Points
- Other Aliases: None
- Billed From: New Cross, London, England
-
Key Championships Held: British Welterweight Champion
British Middleweight Champion
European Middleweight Champion - Why they will get in: If any legendary British figure gets in, this is an excellent choice.
- Why they won't get in: There is no reason for the WWE to induct a legendary British Talent….unless they hold Wrestlemania in England.
