Should Konnan ever get into the WWE Hall of Fame, it certainly won’t be for his handful of matches as the original Max Moon. The Cuban born wrestler achieved his first level of super stardom in the AAA promotion of Mexico where he excelled as both a heel and a face. He would later join WCW and after a few years there became one of the more popular stars there. Konnan has always been outspoken and though his has caused him issues in the past, he often raises questions that should be brought to the forefront. It will be interesting to see if there will ever be a groundswell of Hall support for one of the most over Latin wrestlers of all time.
A legitimate amateur wrestler and all around tough guy, Karl Gotch was one half of the WWWF World Tag Team Champions with Rene Goulet back in 1971. Gotch’s style struggled to make him a star in America, but it translated well in Japan where his mat based style of wrestling made him popular. Gotch was a huge influence on later Japanese wrestlers and trained many who became early shoot wrestlers in Japan. It can be argued that his style was one of the precursors to Mixed Martial Arts and he may actually be a better fit for an MMA Hall of Fame as opposed to a WWE one. Either the way man called by some as “The God of Japanese Wrestling” deserves enshrinement somewhere.
