215. Steve Blackman

Capitalizing on the MMA push of the late 1990’s, The WWF brought in “The Lethal Weapon” Steve Blackman who may have lacked personality but made up for it in bad assery.  (yes we know that isn’t a word)  Blackman would be one of the bright lights of the Hardcore division and probably deserves a higher place in terms of WWE lore.

285. Gus Sonnenberg

One of the few professional wrestlers to defeat Ed “Strangler” Lewis, Gus Sonnenberg was also a former NFL Champion and a fixture in the American Northeast wrestling scene.  Sonnenberg was a major fixture in the New England area, which can’t hurt him in regards to what is essentially a Hall of Fame based in Connecticut.

176. Missy Hyatt

The one time “First Lady of WCW” had a disastrous (and unaired) run in the WWE, but Missy Hyatt accomplished a lot in professional wrestling and her persona of the ditzy blonde made waves in multiple promotions throughout the United States.  For those not aware of her work, she was a bigger deal than you would think!

172. La Parka

One of the few truly over luchadors in WCW, La Parka played the guitar with a chair, had one of the best wrestling outfits ever and was a major draw in his native Mexico.  Foreced to change his name to L.A. Park, the man whose birth certificate states Adolfo Tapia would win many championships in Mexico, and probably should have at least been considered for more title shots when he was in WCW.
