Mr. Wonderful was largely responsible for helping Hulk Hogan reach the pinnacle of pro wrestling in the eighties, though he's often overlooked between Andre the Giant and Roddy Piper. Another great wrestler whose shocking heel turn pissed off millions of people worldwide, it would have been a great moment to see him rewarded with the World Title. He's gone on to help dozens, perhaps hundreds of wrestlers break into the business, from his contributions to WCW's Power Plant to being an inspiration for wrestlers everywhere. Also he kicked Vader's ass backstage despite only having one working arm, which has to count for something, right?
