By the time Angelo Savoldi entered the World Wide Wrestling Federation in the 60’s, he was at the tail end of his career and did not exactly have a stellar won/loss record for what would become the largest wrestling promotion in the world as he was mainly used to wrestle in the undercard. However, after a solid run in the 1930’s and 40’s, he would become a premiere Light Heavyweight, capturing the NWA Junior Heavyweight Championship five times and was easily amongst the top pound for pound wrestlers of his generation.

It is hard to imagine that Dick “The Bulldog” Brower could ever be a good guy, but that was how he started in wrestling. It was not long before the promoters looked at the man who though was short in stature, had a wild look in his eye and the demeanour of….a bulldog. Brower would become a mid to upper card heel in the North east and in Canada and had matches of note with every face of note in those regions for twenty years. As he did have numerous runs in the old WWWF, this is not completely out of the realm of possibility.

There are really two careers of Shirley Crabtree, the first where he was a giant chested heel who taunted the crowd with his strength and good looks. He did well, but it paled to what he did after his near decade sabbatical from the business. He returned with the same gigantic chest, though his midsection was considerably large too. He developed the “Big Daddy” character, which again began as a heel, emerged as the most beloved wrestler in the British Isles. He had found superstardom in his 40’s, and though his moveset was basic, it was incredibly over, and he owned the country. Should the WWE Hall of Fame ever feel the desire to indict a British Legend, this is an excellent choice.

Leroy McGuirk should have had a bigger career as a wrestler. McGuirk was the multi time NWA Junior Heavyweight Champion in the 30’s and 40’s but in 1950 a car accident took hampered his good eye (he had already lost the sight in the other one as a child) and his in-ring career was over. However, his wrestling career was far from over. He would become a top booker and promoter in the Midwest and an influential figure in the National Wrestling Alliance. There is very few held in higher regard than Leroy McGuirk in the business of pro wrestling.
