Names in RED denote the proving of your points.

*To be fair, Double A even said as much about himself during his retirement speech whilst passing "his spot" on the Horsemen to Hennig.

To be fair, and I'm fully preparing for heaps of hate, I believe Owen is kinda overrated as well. It's not so much that he didn't deserve accolades, wasn't good on the mic, or wasn't any good ringwise, because that just isn't true. He was great, but it's more to the fact that I, like a lot of others, didn't really give a flying fuck about him until he died.

It's kind of those "hindsight being 20/20" things. Didn't realize how great he was while he was alive, and I have a sneaking suspicion that in spite of the whole "Owen was supposed to be The Game" speak, he was likely going to be doomed to midcard hell. After he died, it was all "he should've been world champion", but while he was alive, it was "why is he getting a push?"

If Eddie weren't a multi-time champion before he died, I'm sure he would have been on the list too, and for the same reason.
