We lost a legend in the world of professional wrestling as Antonio Inoki passed away at age of 79.

Inoki was a pupil of Rikidozan in the early 60s and a decade later he was the top wrestler in Japan and the promotor of New Japan Pro Wrestling, which was and still is one of the biggest organizations in the world.  Holding wins over every major name in his day, Inoki was not just a 12-time World champion, but a true international superstar who sold out arenas all across the world.

An early pioneer of mixed martial arts, Inoki’s fight with Muhammad Ali was a precursor (although it was an awful contest) of what would come.  He also became a politician, successfully winning a seat in the Japanese House of Councillors, and he successfully negotiated the release of Japanese hostages from Saddam Hussein in Iraq.  Inoki also was a proponent of using wrestling and sports to promote global harmony, as how by his multiple World Wrestling Peace Festivals.

Inoki was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2010.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the fans, family and friends of Antonio Inoki.

The MLB World Series is one of the most popular sporting events in the world, and it's always a big deal. But what do you know about it? We're going to give you some insider info thatMLB news updates don't tell you about the World Series.

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity.  As such, we are very happy to present our post-2021 revision of our top 50 Cleveland Browns.

As for all of our top 50 players in football we look at the following: 

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League. 

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, Cleveland reached the playoff for the first time in years, and even with their long and convoluted history, we saw changes in our top 50 with one new entrant and one elevation.

As always, we present our top five, which had no changes:

1. Jim Brown

2. Otto Graham

3. Joe Thomas

4. Lou Groza

5. Ozzie Newsome

You can find the entire list here.

Offensive Lineman, Joel Bitonio, moved up ten spots to #38.  He is on a four-year run of Pro Bowl Selections and All-Pros, with 2021 being his best year to date.

Defensive End, Myles Garrett, makes his debut at #44.  Garrett is a former number one overall pick, who is a two-time First Team Al-Pro.

Last year, the Titans made it to the playoffs and looked to have a serious chance at winning it all.  They didn’t make it to the Super Bowl, but this is a potent team that could capture the brass ring in February.  There are two new additions on our list, one of whom, should have been on our inaugural list last year.

As always, we present our top five:

1. Bruce Matthews

2. Warren Moon

3. Mike Munchak

4. Earl Campbell

5. Robert Brazile

Safety, Kevin Byard, who should have been included last year, makes his first appearance on the list at #28.  He is now a two-time First Team All-Pro.

Offensive Lineman, and three-time Pro Bowl Selection, Taylor Lewan, makes his debut at #45.
