For decades, most wrestling fans got their information from the “Apter Mags”, namely the publications from Bill Apter.  While those magazines maintained “kayfabe”, they were a major part of the life of wrestling fans and the WWE does use many of the pictures that Apter himself took today.  While he never worked for the WWE, this could be a real dark horse candidate.

The Canadian flagbearer in the 1928 Olympics, Earl McCready would go on to be one of the most successful collegiate wrestlers of all time, winning the NCAA Title for the University of Oklahoma three years straight (1928-30).  McCready would become a major star in the professional ranks in Canada and the United Kingdom winning the British Empire Title three times.

A fixture in the Light Heavyweight division for two decades, Danny McShain would win the NWA Light Heavyweight Title ten times.  McShain would also win a myriad of other championships throughout his career and the legitimate tough guy was an underrated heel from his day.

On the WWE roster for eight years, former Diva Search winner and Miami Heat cheerleader Layla took a long time to find her groove but when she did, mostly as one half of a heel team with Michelle McCool.  With McCool, she was a co-Diva Champion and at one time was arguably a focal point of the division.  That can’t hurt her future chances.
