259. Bulldog Bob Brown

Predominantly a heel throughout his thirty years plus in the ring, “Bulldog” Bob Brown was a consistent figure in the Midwestern and Canadian territories. Actually, his look was always consistent with his mean face, brush cut and black trunks. Brown was also a booker numerous times in his career, usually in the Central States territory. Had he ventured more East of the Mississippi, he might be remembered more than he is currently.

105. Cowboy Bob Ellis

One of the first to don the “Cowboy” monikers, Bob Ellis was actually a legitimate cowboy. Ellis was a rough customer who was part of sell outs all across the country, not to mention successful stints in Australia. He deliberately seemed to maintain a low profile after he left the industry, which may be why he is not held in the regard that he probably should be.

185. Newton Tattrie

The name of Newton Tattrie, may not be one that the average WWE fan knows, or for that matter, one the fan of the product forty years ago would be familiar with, but as one of the “Mongols”, Tattrie scared fans and had a successful run in the WWWF in the early 70’s.

Mildred Burke

We might be going too far back into the DeLorean on this one. The Fabulous Moolah is in the WWE Hall of Fame and is unarguably the most important female wrestler in her era. Are we incorrect to look at the most important woman in the era before? If the WWE Hall does, they would look at Mildred Burke who WAS women’s wrestling for nearly twenty years. She was a long time champion; she created her own promotion, and feuded with the powers of the NWA. Her feud with her ex-husband, Billy Wolfe, should be the material of a Hollywood movie. This probably does not equate to a WWE Hall of Fame induction but as the Hall seems to like inducting women every year, is this really impossible?
