He was a bad ass heal in WCW with Vader but I wasn't a big fan when he was made fan favorite in WWF.  Still, a quite impressive power house.

No. 55 - Bam Bam Bigelow - One of the favorites of my youth, I was big on the guy ever since seeing his performance at the end of the first Survivor Series. It was Hulk Hogan's team against Andre the Giant's team. Hogan was counted out at one point, and his other two partners were eliminated, thus leaving Bam Bam against King Kong Bundy, the One Man Gang, and Andre himself. Bam Bam went on to eliminate both Bundy and Gang before finally running out of gas against the Giant. Sadly, couldn't find the clip for that match, but here's a match against IRS.

Brooklyn Brawler

Many may disagree.  But the dude was awesome, and I give him credit.

56) BRUNO SAMMARTINO: "The Living Legend" of Professional Wrestling. No wrestler, aside from perhaps the Fabulous Moolah, was world champ longer than Bruno. Arguably the greatest of them all.

I always liked the Brawler. I remember the days when he was a legitimate heel. Great character. Now I think he's a road agent, right? WWE usually carts him out when they're in the Boston area just to give the crowd someone to boo voraciously over the whole Yankees-Red Sox feud. :teddyr:

As for Brutus, he's a coach on Hulk Hogan's new reality project "Celebrity Championship Wrestling" where he and former Nasty Boy Brian Knobbs each take 5 "celebrities" under their big sweaty wings to train in the fine art of sports entertainment. After one episode, I see Danny Bonaduce and Dustin Diamond actually having some potential as in-ring performers.  :wink:

No. 58 - The Big Show - Originally brought into WCW as "the son of Andre the Giant", Show was allowed to be more than just a big monster when he came to WWE. Since his return he's probably in the best shape he's been in since his earlier days. He can get the crowd to love him or hate him depending on what the job calls for and he's one of the few guys who can chokeslam the Undertaker and make it look legit... well, as legit as this stuff can look anyway.  :tongueout:

59.) "Pistol" Pez Whatley

The WWF(e) and WCW always used him as a professional loser, but he had great in-ring charisma and a much more successful career (title-wise) in the smaller feds in the South.

I wish the bigger feds had used him better; he was a lot of fun to watch, though the clip I posted didn't necessarily show him at his best, showmanship-wise.

Brawler did go heel a few years back, appearing on SmackDown as the Boston Brawler.  He was disgusted the Yanks lost in the World Series.  He still wrestles on occasion, but mostly does backstage stuff.

I'm all for the nomination of most jobbers.   :thumbup:  After all, they made the superstars look great.  Speaking of which;

62) "The Man Who Made Milwaukee Famous", THE CRUSHER! also known as Reggie Lisowski. Rarely was there a more entertaining wrestler than "Da Crusher" who promised to "murder all them bums" he faced in the ring. Unforgettable he was whether on his own or teaming up with "cousin" Dick the Bruiser. 3 times AWA World heavyweight champion, 9 times tag team champ 5 of which he won with Dick the Bruiser.
