385. Sgt. Buddy Lee Parker
In terms of training, Sgt. Buddy Lee Parker is easily in the top twenty-five ever, but in regards to in-ring accomplishments, we realize that is a stretch to put him on here even if we were the extend this list to 2,000.
Saying all of that, this is not how we look at things and first off anyone who lasted as long as he did in WCW (a decade) is phenomenal. We look at Parker as an equivalent of Johnny Rodz, who for years in the WWE hardly ever won but taught a lot of wrestlers on the job and coincidentally would later be a very successful trainer. With that analogy, this isn’t out of the question.
