229. Jos LeDuc
The burly French Canadian, Jos LeDuc terrorized fans and opponents with his burly lumberjack persona for years.

LeDuc plied his trade mostly in the American South after an extending beginning in Canadian territories. He was a very useful performer to have on a roster, as he fit the bill for tag team and solo runs. As a larger man, he could work well as a monster heel, yet was still agile enough to work well with smaller wrestlers. He flowed within singles to tag teams with ease, and held a wide assortment of championship belts. He did eventually make it to the WWE in 1988, but his time there was brief and to say he made no impression there would be accurate.

Still, Jos LeDuc had a solid career in should receive an accolade somewhere.
