106. Terry Taylor

Terry Taylor had a nice little career going for him. He won many regional titles and was considered one of the better workers in professional wrestling; and then he went to the WWE. Terry Taylor was dubbed the Red Rooster, and after a sub par heel run under the management of Bobby Heenan he went to gimmick hell with the middle section of his hair spiked up red like a rooster’s comb and literally crowing to the ring. He was still a great wrestler, but after he left the WWE and returned to WCW, he would also be called the “rooster” by fans. Taylor has done a lot of behind the scenes work in wrestling promotions (including the WWE) and should he ever be hired back there in any capacity, perhaps he could sneak into the Hall. After calling Terry Taylor, “The Red Rooster” perhaps they could give him that.
