One of the first to don the “Cowboy” monikers, Bob Ellis was actually a legitimate cowboy. Ellis was a rough customer who was part of sell outs all across the country, not to mention successful stints in Australia. He deliberately seemed to maintain a low profile after he left the industry, which may be why he is not held in the regard that he probably should be.

The name of Newton Tattrie, may not be one that the average WWE fan knows, or for that matter, one the fan of the product forty years ago would be familiar with, but as one of the “Mongols”, Tattrie scared fans and had a successful run in the WWWF in the early 70’s.

We might be going too far back into the DeLorean on this one. The Fabulous Moolah is in the WWE Hall of Fame and is unarguably the most important female wrestler in her era. Are we incorrect to look at the most important woman in the era before? If the WWE Hall does, they would look at Mildred Burke who WAS women’s wrestling for nearly twenty years. She was a long time champion; she created her own promotion, and feuded with the powers of the NWA. Her feud with her ex-husband, Billy Wolfe, should be the material of a Hollywood movie. This probably does not equate to a WWE Hall of Fame induction but as the Hall seems to like inducting women every year, is this really impossible?

By the time Angelo Savoldi entered the World Wide Wrestling Federation in the 60’s, he was at the tail end of his career and did not exactly have a stellar won/loss record for what would become the largest wrestling promotion in the world as he was mainly used to wrestle in the undercard. However, after a solid run in the 1930’s and 40’s, he would become a premiere Light Heavyweight, capturing the NWA Junior Heavyweight Championship five times and was easily amongst the top pound for pound wrestlers of his generation.
