180. Tarzan Tyler

Loaded apparatus is a common staple in wrestling, but nobody worked it better than Tarzan Tyler.  The French Canadian’s gimmick was a loaded boot, and when he tapped it on the mat three times, fans everywhere knew what was coming.

325. Nobuhiko Takada

Despite how much respect that many American wrestling fans have towards Japanese grapplers, it is hard to get noticed if you remain exclusively in Japan.  For many wrestling fans, Nobuhiko Takada may be the best wrestler from Asia that they never heard of.

176. Dos Caras

The father of current WWE Superstar, Alberto Del Rio, was an outstanding wrestler in his own right.  The masked Caras (and brother of Mexican legend Mil Mascaras) was one of the larger wrestlers in Mexico and considered by many to one of the best true Heavyweights to come out of Mexico.
When Bret Hart mentioned on a recent Legends of Wrestling Roundtable that the best wrestler to come out of Canada was the Stomper, Archie Gouldie, the rest of the panel thought it was a real stretch.  It may still be, but the more you think about it the accomplishments of Gouldie, it isn’t as far out of leftfield as originally thought.
