181. Manny Fernandez
Prior to his career in the squared circle, the “Raging Bull” Manny Fernandez played football at West Texas and was a legitimate tough guy. He took this manly resume into the world of pro wrestling where he proved to be a natural for the business. He looked tough, acted tough and could cut a mean promo when needed. Fernandez became a star in Mid Atlantic and parlayed that into a NWA World Tag Team run with Rick Rude. Had Fernandez ever had a WWE run, it is possible that he could have done something special there, but those who saw him perform knew they were seeing a star.
