148. The Barbarian

When the Barbarian received a WCW World Heavyweight Title shot at 1992’s Halloween Havoc Pay Per View, a lot of wrestling fans wondered aloud how a life long mid carder could be on the semi main event of a major PPV.  Looking back, Sionne Vailahi (The Barbarian) had every physical gift imaginable and the skills and if booked differently could have been the top card monster that many of his co-workers thought of him as.  As a member of Paul Jones’ Army, one half of the Powers of Pain, a Headshrinker, a member of the Dungeon of Doom and a Face of Fear, the Barbarian may not have been a main eventer, but he was a dependable heel and a valuable asset on any roster.

59. Haku

The next wrestler has to be considered the toughest wrestler on this list.  In fact, any informal poll of wrestlers conducted would likely name Haku as the man would least want to mess with in a legitamite fight (ask Jesse Barr and his glass eye about that).  Regardless of his out of ring exploits, Haku was an underrated worker who had incredible strength, speed, and an imposing look that told you he could kick your ass just by looking at him funny.  He is probably one of the rare wrestlers who may have been booked better in WCW than in the WWE, as he was always at his best when playing a vicious monster.  He had a very solid mid card career, which just might be enough to squeak in an induction. …besides you tell hill him he doesn’t belong in the Hall of Fame!
