We would have loved to have seen what Vince would have done with “The Handsome Half-Breed”, Gino Hernandez.  In World Class Championship Wrestling, he established himself as one of the best heels in the business and his combination of skill, slime and arrogance had the chemical make up of what could have been a legend.  Sadly, Hernandez succumbed to the “personal demons” that take many grapplers and he passed away at the young age of 28.  Had Hernandez got his personal life together, he could have been one of top wrestlers of all time.

Seemingly toiling around the regional territories of the South for what seemed like an eternity, Jimmy Golden got his taste of the big time in his mid 40’s by following his long time partner and friend Robert Fuller into WCW.  He was under Fuller’s (now Col. Robert Parker) guidance and was rechristened Bunkhouse Buck and was placed immediately into a high profile feud with Dustin Rhodes.  He was a key member of the Stud Stable and had a couple of years of mid card greatness with WCW.  He has recently resurfaced as Jack Swagger’s father in the WWE and it again gives reason to take a look back at what has been a very long and productive career.

Often a debate may ensue as to who is the best wrestler pound for pound.  Mike Shaw may have tipped the scales at nearly 400 pounds, but pound for pound he was saddled with the worst gimmicks in wrestling history.  A far better wrestler then he was allowed to show, Shaw was an escaped mental patient, a demented monk and even worse had his highest profile run as a slovenly hunchback named Bastion Booger.  Could it be possible that Mike Shaw deserves a posthumous induction just for the years of possessing embarrassing personas?

Chris Candido may have been a former WWE Tag Team Champion but he was really shackled with the role of “Skip”, a fitness fanatic.  Candido was far better (and more comfortable) wrestling under his own name and displaying the skills that he was a natural to do.  His best work was in ECW, where he labeled himself “No Gimmicks Needed” Chris Candido and he proved that every time he set foot in the ring.  Candido died prematurely at the young age of 33 due to a blood clot, and the wrestling world would have to wonder what else he could have accomplished.
