Frank Sexton was one of the top stars in the 1940s where he would win multiple championships. Sexton's apex was in Boston where he became the AWA World Heavyweight Champion two times, the second reign lasting five years. He would also win championships in Montreal, Toronto, Ohio and San Francisco.
When you look at the history of early wrestling promotors Billy Sandow is a name that has to come up as he is a part of the famed “Gold Dust Trio” that was an integral part of early wrestling promotions. Along with Ed “Strangler” Lewis and Toots Mondt he triumvirate helped to alter the sport to a more “sports entertainment” style. That history alone makes him a strong Legacy Wing inductee.
We have to WAY BACK for this one. In the late 1800s, William Muldoon was recognized as the World’s Greco-Roman Champion. He would defend that championship against all comers and retired undefeated. While his work in the ring bared little resemblance to what it would become this is a bona fide pioneer and more than worthy of Legacy Wing consideration.
