Wrestling history tends to focus on the biggest names, while plenty of talented wrestlers get forgotten. Which older wrestler deserves more recognition than they usually receive? What did they bring to the ring that made them stand out during their time?

Tito Santana deserves more credit. He was a solid worker, believable babyface, and reliable performer who could have good matches with different styles of opponents. He wasn’t always pushed as a top guy, but his consistency and longevity made him a valuable part of WWE’s older roster.

I’d pick Mr. Perfect, Curt Hennig. His technical skills, smooth selling, and natural charisma made every match feel believable. He could make opponents look great while still feeling like a star himself. His work against Bret Hart is especially worth revisiting, and he deserves more recognition among wrestling’s all-time greats.
