His only American run as “Loch Ness” came nearly twenty years past his prime, but that prime saw him as one of the biggest draws in England and was possibly the largest worker of his day.  Giant Haystacks became an International star, though he failed to gain any real foothold in North America.   The question with one of the heaviest wrestlers in British history, is would there be a place for a man who was only truly over in Europe in the WWE Hall of Fame?  We have been shocked before.

When you think of great Light Heavyweight wrestlers from England, the Dynamite Kid is usually the first one thought of.  Prior to the former member of the British Bulldogs, the best Light Heavyweight wrestler from the United Kingdom was Mark “Rollerball” Rocco, who was not only talented but was a decent draw in his native country.  His best work (as was the case for many in his weight class) was in Japan as the masked “Black Tiger” where his matches with the legendary Tiger Mask are still considered classics today.  With a brief stint the WWF competing for the Junior Heavyweight title, he is not completely anonymous to the folks in Stamford, but we doubt that the talented Brit is on their radar for the Hall.

Like many “evil” Japanese wrestlers of the 1970’s, Tor Kamata was not actually from Japan, but was from Hawaii.

Considering how many Tag Team titles that Stevie Ray won, it is initially inconceivable that he seems to have little shot for the Hall of Fame, but despite being the larger of the two brothers (with Booker T) in Harlem Heat, he was not half the wrestler that Booker was.
