Gerry Cheevers

The owner of the most iconic mask in Hockey history (the one with the famed stiches showing where a puck would have hit his face), Gerry Cheevers had his greatest success in the net with the Boston Bruins when they won the Stanley Cup in 1970 and 1972. He was not the best Goalie in the NHL, but he was decent enough to give his powerful Bruins scorers the confidence enough that he would let in fewer goals than his team would score. Cheevers bolted to the WHA, where he was the top netminder there, and after would return to Boston posting spectacular winning percentages year after year.

Bert Olmstead

A star Left Wing with the Montreal Canadians, Bert Olmstead did not always receive a lot of the same accolades that his star teammates did, but within the locker room, his worth was well known. Olmstead was not necessarily a good goal scorer, but we was a brilliant passer (he led the NHL in assists twice) and was a very good checker and his tenacious play in the corners gave him the nickname of “Dirty Bertie”. His legacy may not have been one as the greatest player in hockey history, but one who found a way to achieve the maximum of efficiency with the skills that he did have. It inspired the players around him, and freed the coaches to concentrate on other players as Olmstead was considered to be a player who coaches did not need to help out. Overall, Olmstead was a Second Team All Star twice, and a five time Cup winner (four with Montreal and once with Toronto) and had a resume that probably could have gotten him in the Hall a couple of years sooner than he did.

84. Vickie Guerrero

What was a charitable move by the McMahon family in offering her a job and an on screen role following the death of her husband, Eddie Guerrero resulted in what would become one of the biggest non-wrestling heels of all time.

The Hardy Boys

Although Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy would go on to have solo careers with varying degrees of success, we can’t help but think that if the innovators from Cameron, North Carolina ever get inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, it will be as the Hardy Boys tag team; which is how many wrestling fans (including us) still think of them as. In the WWE they were incredibly successful and as long as they keep their personal matters above water in the latter half of their career, they should eventually get in.
