133. Yvon Robert

Arguably the man who put Quebec on the map in terms of Professional Wrestling, Yvon Robert was a star in the business for three decades and is a former NWA World Heavyweight Champion.  Robert travelled across North America in his day and while he was based in Montreal, he would be known throughout the continent as a bona fide star.

93. Ray Steele

A mentor of the legendary Lou Thesz, Ray Steele, who immigrated from German occupied Norka (in Russia) as a child, would become he NWA World Heavyweight Champion in 1940.  Steele would that belt for a year, a major accomplishment, but his mentorship of younger stars might be the best part of his legacy.

57. Bronko Nagurski

Bronko Nagurski was already an established Back in the National Football League when he got into Professional Wrestling in 1933 and on the gridiron he would take the Chicago Bears to three NFL Championships.  His accomplishments in the squared circle were arguably equal, as he would win multiple titles, among which the coveted National Wrestling Association World Heavyweight Title twice, and was a major draw while doing it.

60. Stanislaus Zbyszko

A strongman from Poland, Stanislaus Zbyszko was the main star of European Professional Wrestling and was the main foe of whom ever was regarded as the best from North America.  Zbyszko would eventually become the recognized World Heavyweight Champion and the fact that the WWE is now recognizing stars from that era could pave the way for the original star from Poland.
