10) Shelton Benjamin is one of the best in ring performers I have ever seen in my lifetime. Despite being saddled with that buffoon ass gold standard gimmick complete with the dying of his hair(a blonde black man) Shelton Benjamin's athleticism was second to none and he consistently had 5star matches be it in tag team or singles competition.
9)Tito Santana was one of the best wrestlers to have never won a world title. Look up the definition of a baby face and you will see his picture. His matches with Greg Valentine, Don Muraco, and Randy Savage are legendary. He is the original Mexican luchadorer. ARRRRRRRRIBA
8)Terry Taylor had all the qualities of Ric Flair rolled up into a baby face character. He would have and should have been a World Champion but someone named Vince McMahon thought it was a good idea to have him strut around and cock a doodle doo around the ring instead of showcasing his true talent.
7)Mr 1derful Paul Orndorff's feud with Hulk Hogan was one of the best and most profitable ever. They drew over 75,000 fans in Toronto and their final match on Saturday Night's Main Event was one of the most watched ever.
6)The Enforcer Arn Anderson was the original bodyguard and tough guy in wrestling. If you wanted to get to Ric Flair you had to go through the Andersons to do so and it often resulted in expended stays in the emergency ward for those who dare. Arn Anderson set the tone for The Four Horsemen and was their heart and soul.
5)Tully Blanchard is the epitome of a heel. He was the backbone of the Horsemen, because he was rotten to the core. It didn't matter to Tully if it was a man, woman, or child standing in his way. Everyone was fair game. If your name was Dusty Rhodes and you had a title it belonged to Tully. The best compliment I can pay to Tully was that he was never a face.
4) Whether a heel or face Barry Windham was one of the smoothest wrestlers to ever grace the square circle. His 60 minute matches with Ric Flair are all classics and his heel feud with Dusty Rhodes was one of the best ever. Barry Windham could make a broomstick look good and its a shame that we never got to see him be top dog.
3)The Alpha Male Monty Brown aka the King of the Serengeti was one the best gimmicks TNA ever came up with. He was a combination of the Rock and Bill Goldberg. Thank Double J for Monty Brown never getting his push and taking his rightful place as one of the best ever. POOOOOOOOOUNNNCCEEEE PERIOD!
2)Nakita Koloff was the original muscular ass kicking heel. He was so good I actual believed that he was from Russia and that the Kremlin sent him over to destroy American wrestlers and win and bring the US title back to Moscow. He could wrestle with Flair or Magnum or match strength with the Road Warriors. The Russian Nightmare's Russian Sickle was a vicious clothesline and in honor of Nephew Nakita. How u say ahh Maggit TA how come all time now u bring u muddah. jadohedaaaaaa
1)Magnum TA was the original American heartthrob. Respected by men and adored by women Magnum TA was loved by everyone. He was a face that had the intensity of a heel. Kind of like Stone Cold with a good heart. His feuds with Wahoo, Tully, Ric, the Midnight Express and Nakita are all legendary. If not for a car accident you are looking at perhaps the greatest of all time.
