210. Hans Mortier

A top contender for Bruno Sammartino’s first WWWF World Heavyweight Championship, the Netherlands born, German billed, Hans Mortier was a solid heel for the organization throughout the 1960’s. While that was the run in which he would be known most for, Hans Mortier was an international star and his rough exterior and shoot style made him a great heel everywhere he competed.

114. Pepper Gomez

Known for his “cast iron stomach”, Pepper Gomez was a major force in California and in Texas and competed up and down the card. Physically, Gomez was ahead of his time and was built like a concrete sculpture, not typical of the wrestlers of his era.   His feuds with Ray Stevens are still stuff of San Francisco legend.

301. Dump Matsumoto

Dump Matsumoto was one of the most vicious “puroresu” female heels of all time and throughout the 1980’s she was not just a destroyer of female babyfaces in Japan but a serious ratings draw on television and an arena filler. If the WWE Hall of Fame ever looks to induct a female combatant, they could do a lot worse than Matsumoto who actually does have experience (albeit limited) in the WWE.

125. Red Bastien

Red Bastien was one of the better natural athletes of his day and according to his peers was one of the most pure talents. Bastien would win multiple championships across the country and bring merriment to every locker room he was in. Bastien’s travels also brought him to the WWWF in the 60’s and was featured on Madison Square Garden cards. Bastien had a very good career, and was a highly regarded tag team wrestler but likely is not enough on the WWE radar to really make him a candidate with a decent shot.
