10 Most Underrated Super Heavyweights In WWE History
9. One Man Gang
The One Man Gang joined WWE in 1987 and was immediately presented as a monster heel. Gang was integral in the retirement angle of Superstar Billy Graham, and was a key partner of Andre The Giant's at the inaugural Survivor Series Pay-Per-View.
Gang was also the first runner-up in the inaugural Royal Rumble, won by Hacksaw Jim Duggan. OMG was also a top villain in the WrestleMania IV championship tournament, defeating Bam Bam Bigelow in the opening round, receiving a bye in the second, and eventually losing only by disqualification to the eventual champion, Macho Man Randy Savage.
After succumbing to Savage, Gang was repackaged and debuted as the African Dream Akeem, managed by Slick, in late 1988.
An obvious jab at rival booker the American Dream Dusty Rhodes, Akeem mimicked Dusty in his speech patterns and dancing routines, but he also did well to make it his own. By 1989, Akeem was back in the main event as part of the Twin Towers tag team with the Big Boss Man when they battled The Mega Powers.
While Akeem's WWE career was all but finished following his WrestleMania VI loss to his former tag team partner, Akeem/One Man Gang should be remembered as one of WWE's key super heavyweights during one of their most profitable periods.
