178. Jess McMahon

Before there was Vince McMahon Jr., there was Vince McMahon Sr.  Before Vince Sr., there was his father, Roderick Jess McMahon.  Along with Toots Mondt, the patriarch of the McMahon family founded Capitol Sports, the precursor to the WWE, which promoted wrestling in the New York City area.

133. Antonio Pena

Antonio Pena had a good career as a professional wrestler in Mexico where he performed in the mid-card and used multiple personas.  His in-ring work was only a fraction of what he would become as he would have a genius like gift for showmanship and storylines and he would take over the booking role for EMLL.  Pena was a large part of the rebranding to CMLL and the booking of lighter weight wrestlers to the main event scene.  Arguably, the modern Lucha Libre that most of us seen came because Pena gave these stars that forum.

116. Salvador Lutteroth

The WWE Hall of Fame has recognized Mil Mascaras and they have had working agreements with Mexican promotions before.  The Hall has also inducted former promotors.  Could this be the combination that could induct Salvador Lutteroth?

Matt Carle

A former Hobey Baker winner at the University of Denver (2005), Matt Carle would have two 40 Point seasons in the National Hockey League, one with the San Jose Sharks and the second (2010/11) with the Philadelphia Flyers.  In that latter season, the native Alaskan was voted tenth in Norris Trophy voting and he was eight place in Defensive Point Shares the season before.  He also played for the Tampa Bay Lightning and Nashville Predators in his career.
