The second wrestler on this list immortalised by a statue in Ireland. If that wasnt enough, hes also the reason the Irish whip was given its name. Born in Cork, OMahony was a former NWA World Heavyweight champion in the 1930s. Despite promoter Billy Sandow publicly questioning his abilities in the ring, the legacy of Danno is something which few Irish wrestlers will ever achieve. From old school screw jobs, to title unifications, to walk outs, the Irish brawler was one of the most talked about wrestlers of the era. On his return to Ireland, thousands of fans lined the streets to welcome him home, now able to view his abilities on home soil. Dying from a car accident at the young age of 38, OMahonys contributions will forever be remembered each time a wrestler is flung towards the ropes.
