From the University of Oklahoma, “Dr. Death” Steve Williams was a legitimate athlete who excelled in both amateur wrestling and on the gridiron.  He adapted very quickly and his matches were a showcase of skill, brute force and unequalled intensity.

Now here is an interesting case.  Ax (Bill Eadie) wrestled successfully as Bolo Mongol, The Masked Superstar and The Super Machine before donning the face paint.  Smash (Barry Darsow) was also making money as Khrusher Khruschev before becoming Smash and had good runs as The Repo Man and The Black Top Bully after.   It is hard to argue though that in each case their greatest recognition was together as Demolition.

Trish Stratus may have started out in the WWE as just another pretty face, but that was certainly not how she left it.

It’s hard to believe that as talented as Rick Martel was, he was always a little underrated.  It didn’t matter which promotion he was in, or where he was on the card; the odds was always that Martel would be in the best match of the night or at least close to it.
