As Divas exploded onto the WWE landscape; Amy Dumas looked a little different the others.  She wasn’t a Barbie Doll, but a relatable woman who exuded her own brand of sexuality with large tattoos, a high up thong and a style that was more indicative of what you would see in high schools.  This made her a fan favorite of women and men alike.  Throw in her underrated athleticism and high flying ability; you get one of more unique female wrestlers of the last fifteen years.  Lita deserved a far better send off then she got from the WWE, and we feel comfortable including here as we don’t think she is coming back to active wrestling.

Some people have said that Brad Armstrong was the best wrestler never to make it.  This is an unfair statement as Armstrong was a part of the NWA and WCW for a long period of time and never needed to beg for work in the business.  With that said, Brad Armstrong was an amazing talent who was one of the best in ring talents period.  What worked against him is that he lacked that intangible that could make fans care about him in mass which could have pushed him higher up the card.  Still, when those say his career wasn’t great, they fail to realize how hard it was for any wrestler to remain on a major roster for as long as he did regardless of their spot on the card.

On of the top stars of the 1960’s was Bill Miller, but despite his vast accomplishments has been largely forgotten.  The former Ohio Buckeye entered the world of pro wrestling in his early 30’s and while in the AWA he became on of the few chosen to wear the AWA World Heavyweight Championship.  Miller would later be a top contender for Bruno Sammartino’s WWWF World Title and though he wouldn’t capture that gold, he was able to capture other belts before his career was done.  Miller wasn’t the flashiest of wrestlers and as his career was long (in comparison to others on this list) he never reached the legend status that others with his accolades may have received.

He was named the “Man Mountain” from Stone Mountain (Georgia) and at 5 ft 9 and well over 400 pounds, Jerry Blackwell fit that bill.   Blackwell may have had physical dimensions that may have reflected someone who was not athletic, but in Blackwell’s prime he was quite mobile and competed in Strongest Man competitions.  There was a time when he was one of the top faces (and draws) for the AWA and had he not had issues with health (obesity caught up to him), he may have had a more productive career.  Still as someone who was a key part of the AWA when it mattered, he might be worthy of consideration.
