In the magical land of OVER

[Poop Master Flex]

Now I don't really know how well wrestlers drew in crowds in the 50's and 60's, but everytime I look up superstars from that time period I see the name The Crusher.

If I trust in Wikipedia, he is in 4 different wrestling Hall of Fames, including WCW's. He had a highly successful run as tag-team champion in 3 or 4 different territories, back when a Tag Team match had to have been something special. And went on to hold the AWA's World Heavyweight Championship 3 different times, his last run unifying his belt with the Omaha version.

Sounds like a guy people paid to see.

He was over no question but he wasn't the top guy. I gotta give you props for mentioning my favorite pre Hogan era wrestler though. Mr. Saloon was such a unique and charismatic wrestler but he worked for a promotion that was dominated by 2 guys for over 20 years.

Konnan.


That isn't facetious; he's probably a bigger draw in Mexico than Triple H was in America

True. He's like Ric Flair. Great and awesome then. Crazy and broken down today.

Na see I posted about guys after WWF went national and more than expected guys to mentions names from the era before that AND from overseas like Shadow did.


Your latest list suffices.


With Harley...I'm not sure. He was King of Kansas, how was his drawing power elsewhere as Champion?

Every time you call him the King of Kansas I want to claw my eyes out.

Too quirky?

I heard Hogan call him that. I'll abstain.


DO we put Terry Funk on this list? I have heard Dusty say that he was a great draw. In Amarillo of course, but in other territories as well.
