Now that I've thought about it some, this would be my first pass:

Rude
Mr Perfect
DiBiase
Jake the Snake
Dean Malenko

Okay, I'm just saying... Rude, Perfect, DiBiase, and Jake all seem like top-tier guys to me. I understand the arguments against it, but I don't agree with them. Championships mean nothing in this phony-baloney business! And very few guys got the top belt in WWF during their time.

Yeah they are top tier

I'm viewing it as dudes who would be below Hogan, Flair, Macho, Cena, HHH, HBK, Owen, etc.

I get what you're saying though it can be a weird gray area. You're clearly going for that TV title Alex Wright/Paul Roma tier

I just thought the exercise was, like, Not-Seen-as-Iconic Wrasslemen. I mean, that seems like a more fun game to me.

And my own sexism there made me realize I'd add all-time-great-and-largely-underappreciated wrasslewoman Sherri Martel to my stable.

Mhm, mhm.

Zach can't spell bologna

What a fucking loser

In case you don't know -- and I'm sure you do, because you're a smart boy -- there's a difference between bologna and baloney.

Fine fine fine:

Tajiri
Bam Bam Bigelow
2 Cold
D-Lo
Earthquake
 

Angry Grimace

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Yeah, this Zachary. Guys who weren't top of the tier in terms of pop culture, business impact, etc but should have been so much more. Christina definitely qualifies there.



Earthquake is so underrated

They should put the Natural Disasters in the WWE Hall of Fame just so the Shockmaster can also be in by extension.

Sephzilla, when will you start the preshow preshow that repeatedly recaps storylines and tells us to call our PPV providers to order now?
 
Now that I've thought about it some, this would be my first pass:

Rude
Mr Perfect
DiBiase
Jake the Snake
Dean Malenko

You can make arguments about some of the others, but Rude was a top guy.

--edit

I see other people said rude as well. Disgraceful. Well done Zach for fighting the good fight against all of these inner city sweathogs and pennsylvanian pissants.
 
Gorilla Monsoon, pfft. Who did he ever beat!?

Bruno Sammartino.

via count-out

I got a fun question/game:

Build a stable (lets go with 6 total) out of wrestlers who were not "the guy" or considered top 20/30 wrestlers. Think guys like Val Venis, D-Lo, Bagwell, Ahmed, etc and less guys like Owen, Mankind, Taker, Arn, Pillman, etc.

Buddy Rose
Mr. Wrestling II
Buzz Sawyer
Chavo Guerrero
Hector Guerrero

They wouldn't need a manager, Rose & Sawyer'd have the promos covered. Buddy would be the mastermind, Wrestling II his enforcer (he was great as a heel), Buzz as the unhinged powerhouse and Chavo & Hector the fast-paced tag duo.
 

Browny

Banned
Top 6 not top 30?

Scott Norton
Ice Train
Regal (so borderline, we all know he's great)
Dustin Rhodes (again, borderline?)
Shamrock
Raven (in WCW/WWE)
