327. Bugsy McGraw

Bugsy McGraw seemingly wrestled everywhere in the United States in his long career. Early in his career, he wrestled under a hood, or with various other personas, but it was late in his career as the eccentric Bugsy McGraw that he is best known for. McGraw was the most technically sound wrestler, but he didn’t have to be to make his character work. Had he done more in the WWE (he was there briefly) he may have a better shot. As such, he is barely an after thought at present.

Should Bugsy McGraw be in the Hall of Fame?

Definitely put him in! - 45.7%

No opinion. - 2.9%

No way! - 37.1%
