Best Masked Wrestlers

Ok I don't know if there has been one of these threads but if so, deal with it. Who, in your opinion, are some of the greatest masked wrestlers of all-time? These days, with the exception of Rey Mysterio, there isn't hardly any masked wrestlers around. Back in the day they were much more common, although they were rarely pushed to a major title. I've always wondered why hardly any masked wrestlers won MAJOR titles (aside from the Cruiserweight title) or got mega pushes. So do you guys think any of the masked wrestlers of old deserved more than they got? Who are some of your all-time favorites?

I was always a big fan of The Patriot. He was a decent, solid worker IMO (not to mention he was a left-hander like myself) and I found his feud with Bret Hart entertaining. His only real flaw was that he wasn't so great on the mic which is probably why he never won the World title. But other than that I thought Del Wilkes had alot of potential. Too bad he sold The Patriot gimmick to Tom freakin' Brandi.
