I'm Bored...

Close enough.

Better question oh king of old school: Best wrestler whose prime was before 1990 to never be a world champion.
 
depends in what capacity,could they, yes, should they, I don't know. Probably of the AWA or the NWA at some stage, but the WWWF and the WWF were dominated by very few men up until the 90s, the other places especially the AWA could have been a lot wider open
 
who is pat o connor and what is his significance??

former world Champion, NWA and AWA. Only man to ever hold both at the same time. Only Kiwi to ever be world champion, Unless you count Tony Garea's Tag wins.

Heres what wiki says

Patrick "Pat" O'Connor (1924-1990), was a professional wrestler from New Zealand who held the NWA World Heavyweight Championship from 1959 to 1961. He first won the title on January 9, 1959, from amateur standout, and Lou Thesz protege, Dick Hutton, holding the belt for over two years. On June 30, 1961, O'Connor dropped the title to Buddy Rogers in front of 38,622 fans at Comiskey Park, a record that would last nearly 20 years.

Known for his superior conditioning, as well as his athletic and technical ability, O'Connor was regarded as one of the premiere workers of his era. He was a booker for the St. Louis territory in the 1970s.

He died on August 16, 1990 of cancer. The following December, WCW held an eight-team international tag-team memorial tournament in honour of O'Connor. The Steiner Brothers, representing the United States, won the final by defeating The Great Muta and Mr. Saito, representing Japan.
