As Bernard Herman, Ricki Starr was a solid amateur wrestler, but as Ricki Starr, he would take a pair of ballet slippers to incorporate a perceived feminine strut and would sell some tickets in the United States.  Starr would do well in Texas and the East Coast and would become a flamboyant babyface and an improbable one at that.  He would be a regional tag team champion on three occasions.

The WWE Hall of Fame has to date not inducted a referee (we aren't counting Teddy Long), and the belief by many is that if they do it would be Earl Hebner.  If that doesn't happen, then perhaps it would be Nick Patrick who was the son of Jody Hamilton who wrestled professionally as The Assassin.  Patrick trained to be a wrestler himself, but an injury changed his course into refereeing, and he would soon be named the Senior Referee by WCW in the mid-'90s. 

In terms of training, Sgt. Buddy Lee Parker is easily in the top twenty-five ever, but in regards to in-ring accomplishments, we realize that is a stretch to put him on here even if we were the extend this list to 2,000. 

Gladys Gillem was one of the great early female wrestlers of the first half of the 20^th Century where she was often an opponent of Mildred Burke, who was the leading female attraction of the day.  Burke needed a new foe, which was Gillem and as she was on the losing end of the ledger she never received the notoriety that she should have.
