June Byers

While it can not really be disputed that Mildred Burke was the biggest women’s star of the 30’s and 40’s, that mantle was shifted to June Byers in the 50’s.  Byers would become the World Champion in the 50’s defeating Mildred Burke and would become the top female in the industry until a car accident forced her to retire early in 1964.

179. Santino Marella

With a near decade career in the WWE, Santino Marella was the best comedic character the promotion had over that time frame.  While Marella was a decent in ring wrestler, his strength was always the laughs he could generate either by performing in the ring or the vignettes and skits he did outside of it.  Props also for performing one of the best fake accents in wrestling history!

108. The Great Gama

This should be interesting.

The Great Gama might be a name that Western Canadian fans might remember from Stampede Wrestling, but this Great Gama was the very influential wrestler from India who was one of the greatest physical specimens of not just his era but any era.  

130. 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.
