It’s hard to believe that as talented as Rick Martel was, he was always a little underrated.  It didn’t matter which promotion he was in, or where he was on the card; the odds was always that Martel would be in the best match of the night or at least close to it.

It is very sad that it took until 1992 for Professional Wrestling to finally have their first African American World Champion. That man was the College Football Hall of Fame inductee, Ron Simmons, whose brute strength and quiet charisma made him an excellent choice for that honor. A star in WCW and in the WWE, Ron Simmons belongs in the Hal of Fame, not just for the barriers he broke but for the skills he possessed and the class he showed. DAMN!

Scott Hall may be another name in the discussion of “best wrestler never to win a World Championship”, though few would have thought based on his first eight years in the business that he would be World Championship material.

Although he was considered a transitional champion (bridging the WWF World Championship by beating Pedro Morales and losing the title to Bruno Sammartino a week later), you have to be considered a solid wrestler to have been given the strap in the first place.
