4. The Sandman
Speaking of needing to leave 'extreme' behind... The Sandman was a cult figure in ECW, who never really transferred his act to WCW or WWE when he was given a shot. When you watch him in the ring, or on the way to the ring, it is like watching your favourite rock band on a greatest hits tour, but when they reach the stage they just can't perform like you remember. That's what Sandman is for me. He's in his 50's. I wish he had made enough money to sit at home and relax or go to conventions and fan-fests. But he hasn't. And the fact that he has to keep wrestling says everything about the industry.
