Verne Gagne

The owner and promoter of the biggest promotion throughout the Midwest and Manitoba, Canada for many years (The AWA). He has held to many titles for me to name them all here. He is a 10x AWA World Champion and is a member of the WWE, WCW, WON and the Pro Wrestling HoF.




Santo, el Enmascarado de Plata

He is said to have popularized professional wrestling in Mexico just as Rikidozan did in Japan and Hulk Hogan did in the United States. He may have only won 10 titles in his career he made Lucha Libre wrestling what it is today. One of Santo's greatest matches was in 1952, when he fought a tag-team known as Los Hermanos Shadow (which consisted of famed luchadors Blue Demon and the Black Shadow). Santo beat and unmasked The Black Shadow in the ring, which triggered Blue Demon's decision to become a face, as well as a legendary feud between The Blue Demon and Santo that culminated in Santo's defeat in a well-publicized series of matches in 1952 and again in 1953. Although they appeared together in a number of action/adventure films, their rivalry never really ended in later years since Santo always remembered his defeat at the Blue Demon's hands.
