Easily the most important figure in Women’s wrestling, The Fabulous Moolah holds the longest uninterrupted title reign in Professional Wrestling history.  She began her career as a valet, but quickly became a tough as nails wrestler who’s in ring skill was only matched by her ability to train and mold other female grapplers.  Moolah was the first female inducted into the Hall of Fame and there should have been no doubt that she deserved that honor.

The first Triple Crown winner in WWE History, Pedro Morales was a huge draw for the McMahons and captured far more than just the Hispanic market.  His World Title run lasted almost three years and was largely considered a success, especially when considering that his era followed that of the largely popular, Bruno Sammartino.  Long after Pedro’s first run with the belt, he was able to make two successful returns to the organization in the 80’s, making him known to those who witnessed the wrestling boom of that decade.

He may have stood only 5’ 6”, but Ivan Putski packed considerably more muscle on that small frame than wrestlers who stood much taller.  Putski was immensely popular and the legitimate strongman had multiple successful runs on the upper mid card for the WWE in the 70’s and 80’s.  That alone made him a legitimate Hall of Fame Selection.

The long term wild man of the WWE, George “The Animal” Steele scared audiences for years before wrestling as a beloved Neanderthal type baby face in the twilight of his career.  He rarely won any championships, but his type of character was never designed to be a champion; it was designed to scare opponents and fans alike.  Nobody did it better than George Steele.
