337. El Solitario
An exceptional wrestler, yet forgotten combatant (in terms of American folklore) El Solitario was initially billed as the son of El Santo, but would shed that moniker and carve his own niche as a Lucha Libre superstar. He would become a huge star in the upper card for years but as he was not the active in the U.S. he was not nearly as known as he should be.
