Another of the great wrestlers who cut their teeth in All Japan, Toshiaki Kawada was a bit of an unsung superstar in Puroresu. Although he would win multiple championships in All-Japan and other promotions, he was in the shadow of bigger names like Mitsuharu Misawa and Kenta Kobashi. Kawada had multiple five star matches and is considered one of the toughest men ever to lace up the boots. Still, without anyone else from All-Japan getting in, what chance is there for Kawada?

Johnny DeFazio did not have a won/loss record that would make you take notice, but he was a four time WWF Junior Heavyweight title and a man who worked solidly for the WWWF in the Pittsburgh territory for years. It may not make him an automatic entry for the WWE Hall of Fame, but he does hold a series of footnotes worth remembering in WWE folklore.

George “Crybaby” Cannon made his mark as a wrestler with his immense size. He excelled as a manager, and was best known as the mouthpiece for the Fabulous Kangaroos and other duos. His ability to make his sweat look like tears earned him the “Crybaby” moniker and allowed him to draw heat. He booked, wrote and hosted programs and lived and breathed wrestling. Cannon was instrumental in bringing the WWE into the Detroit territory, though he felt mistreated by the process. Regardless, Cannon was more than a footnote of the business, and those who saw him perform never forgot him.

A major staple in the Pacific Northwest on both sides of the border, Dutch Savage would become a huge name as both a heel (predominately in the 60’s) and a face through the 70’s. He held the Vancouver and Portland belts multiple times, and was not just a huge name there, but would book and promote in those territories. Savage may not be known that well East of Montana, but his impact on the West Coast is undeniable.
