very interesting list here.
not sure I'd consider Ed "The Bull" Gantner to be all that good of a worker.
I'm sure myself and most folks here have heard of these names. I'm guessing this is more targeted towards younger folks.

Used to be enough to know that Del Wilkes was the guy under The Patriot mask to best your buddies at wrestling trivia. Nowadays, with internet back alleys playing home to all manners of ring obscura, you look like a fool if you can’t name drop self-styled Nigerian saxophonist/demigod “The Great” Power Uti or acromegalic 1940s sideshow attraction The French Angel.
And that’s a good thing. Professional wrestling truly is one of the world’s richest subcultures — a distinction which has populated it with one-of-a-kind personalities, while, at the same time, making it difficult for all of those one-of-a-kind personalities to stand out. We wanted to give the limelight to a few talented performers who don’t always get the credit they deserve, so we went to locker room experts like Jerry “The King” Lawler and William Regal to learn about the ring’s unsung heroes.Give it a read. If you dig it, we'll do it again sometime.
1.)Ray Stevens
2.)Mark "Rollerball" Rocco - another outstanding british talent that in my mind is one of the very best british wrestlers.
3.)Jackie Fargo - Jackie was truly the King of Memphis before Lawler. He was such a great and funny guy.
4.)Brad Armstrong - another guy that was phenomenally talented that never got his due in the biz.
5.)Jos LeDuc
6.)Pepper Gomez
7.)Johnny Saint - this guy was probably one of the top three best british wrestlers ever imo.
8.)Austin Idol
9.)Les Thornton - this guy was truly a talented worker who never got his due.
10.)Ed "The Bull" Gantner
