237. Angelo Savoldi
By the time Angelo Savoldi entered the World Wide Wrestling Federation in the 60’s, he was at the tail end of his career and did not exactly have a stellar won/loss record for what would become the largest wrestling promotion in the world as he was mainly used to wrestle in the undercard. However, after a solid run in the 1930’s and 40’s, he would become a premiere Light Heavyweight, capturing the NWA Junior Heavyweight Championship five times and was easily amongst the top pound for pound wrestlers of his generation.
The Bullet Points
- Billed From: Parsippany, New Jersey, U.S.A.
- Key Championships Held: NWA World Junior Heavyweight (5)
- Why they will get in: Should the WWE Hall ever look at the 1960’s roster in greater depth he could have a shot.
- Why they won't get in: His legacy is not as strong as it should be.
