Second - If that be the case, then when were Tiger Mask and Liger ever apart of WWE? I don't recall that moment happening.

Third - Are the names listed in random order or is it really #10 to #1? If it's the latter, than I feel it's incorrect. Not to put down Rey in any form, as he is a legend in his own right, but I just can't agree with him being better than Tiger or Liger. On that notion, which Tiger Mask are they referring to? The original? (Sorry if it's clarified on the site, too lazy to go visit it).

And finally, I agree, no mention of La Parka (L.A. Park, not the new one) is a damn shame, and Kane and Mankind shouldn't be listed, unless of course my original assumption is correct which then makes more sense for them to be included.

Sorry for the bit of ranting on my part. I admit I'm a little bias in favor of certain wrestler over others, but the list just rubbed me the wrong way.
Everyone on the list has at least wrestled in WWE or WCW. They show footage of Tiger Mask (no idea which one, looks like Early to Mid-80s) at WWF shows.

And it's a WWE-centric list. All WWE lists are. SOMETIMES they throw in someone who has nothing to do with WWE (and by WWE, I mean WWE and every promotion they currently own footage to), but it's rare. If you go into anything WWE-produced thinking it's going to be objective, you're a little on the uneducated side when it comes to WWE as a company.
