Agree with that whole list. Why Luger isn't in the HOF is beyond me. I know the ? with Elizabeth was harsh but she was a grown woman.
Vader
Ultimo Dragon
Shane Douglas
Taz
Tommy Dreamer (definitely should be in the HOF soon)

Bruh esp Shane Douglas who 99-02 Triple H stole his entire schtick from
And the orginal suplex machine Taz. Smh.
We used to always debate what would happen if Taz met Goldberg in 98 but I think we sided with Goldberg after Bam bam beat Taz in that one classic match. -
Scott Steiner. His career is a tale of two halves though. They should have broke him off as a singles guy and booked him better in the early 90s. He's still one half of one of the top 3 tag teams ever imo. Dude had the perfect blend of agility and size. (note: him and Rick will eventually get in for their tag team work.)
Lex Lugar. Vince was getting ready to put the ? him during that feud with Yokozuna but I don't think Lex was reliable Vince looked elsewhere. Most ? fans remember the Lex express. Dude had one of the better physiques of his day too. (n/h)
Vader. Dude was like 400 pounds doing moonsaults he was also a top guy in every promotion he ever went too. Top heel in WCW and WWF(E). Probably should have gotten the strap in WWF(E) but Vince didn't like WCW guys being his champ in those days.
Barry Windham. I think he won the NWA title, US title and I believe a few tag titles in various promotions, but dude was an underrated worker and could move and was agile for a bigger guy even though he doesn't get talked about a lot. He may or may not ever get but he was an underrated guy of his time.
Dynamite Kid. I think his reputation of being a ? and hated in the business has hurt him. Dude basically ushered in a lot of the style and moveset of today cruiserweight guys. He would be a heavyweight champion in today's business but him being a smaller framed guy held him back during those times were pushing guys who where 6'2 or better and large framed with body builder physiques was the norm.
Butch Reed. He was a upper mid card guy in a time where Black wrestlers did not get a lot of burn. His reign in the WCW and WWF was very short. -
Barry Windham never got a proper run in the Attitude Era
despite being the same age as Austin and younger than HBK and Bret but people thought he was older cause he was pushed heavily in the mid 80s when he was really young -
True. Barry Windham always seemed old hat to me even though he was young. He just has an old school look and style to him. He definitely a legend, already a HOF (Horsemen).

Scott Steiner innovated all the suplex machine wrestlers...growing up a 80s and 90s baby Seeing the moves he did at his size when he was young was amazing..

Goat Duggan moment, probably the goat Saturday morning superstars moment, you didn't really ever get hype matchups like that on Saturday mornings, you'd get like Tatanka vs Brooklyn Brawler or some ? , the best was the crowds back then looking like this is real life -

Bruh I real life thought he was dead when this happened. When Mr. Fuji draped the flag over him, I thought Duggan was dead lol. This ? came on Fox after Saturday morning cartoons. What a time. -
Chris Kanyon, ridiculous offensive moveset, very underrated, and the Kanyon Cutter is legendary.
