O.K Billy. It's a deal . . .

Andre the Giant
Should be a legend but was too ill, even at Wrestlemania 3, to do himself justice - 3
Gorrilla Monsoon
Don't know him as a wrestler but as a commentator was one of the warmest guys ever. He sounded genuine unlike Hokey Jim Ross. R.I.P Gorrilla - 4
the Iron Shiek
Perhaps only known for losing the WWF title to Hulk Hogan before Wrestlemania. He teamed up with Sgt Slaughter as 'Colonel Mustapha' - 1
Sgt Slaughter
A great heel that entered the WWF in 1990. People genuinely wanted to kill this guy after he beat Ultimate Warrior at Royal Rumble 1991. Perhaps the only time the issue of patriotism worked in wrestling. Once he became a face, he lost his credibility - 3
Yokozuna
Hmm! One dimensional wrestler who worked the Xenophobia angle with Lex Luger. Won Royal Rumble 1993 and a tag title with Owen Hart. Died of a heart attack - 2
Razor Ramon
The bad guy was entertaining (esp. his ladder matches with Shawn Michaels) - 3
Lex Luger
One dimensional wrestler in WCW, a failed Hulk Hogan wannabe in the WWF, went back to WCW looking very old and is now facing questions by police regarding Miss Elizabeth's death - 2
Sting
Underated wrestler. His matches with Flair were great but he lost it once he turned darker - 4
The Stiener Brothers
Excellent as a tag-team. They were the main reason I started watching WCW all those years back. Now they are hideous - 3
Harlem Heat
Hmm! Booker T started off in this tag-team in WCW. Alright but nothing special - 2
Big Boss man
Lost weight after leaving The Twin Towers. Didn't have many career highlights but had the first 'Jailhouse match' in WWF history - 2
The Mountie
Started off as part of 'The Fabulous Rougaeus'. Once he became The mountie, he couldn't shake the gimmick - 2
The Bushwackers
Started off as The Sheepherders, they changed their gimmick for the kid-friendly WWF. Entertaining to some degree, but it took them ages to start a match - 2
Owen Hart
Had a great feud with Bret Hart (esp. Wrestlemania 10) but couldn't live up to him. Died falling from the air during a stunt based on his former moniker 'The Blue Blazer' - 3
The Million Dollar Man (Ted Dibiase)
This guy was amazing. It was just ironical that as soon as he got a title (Tag titles) he wrestled very poorly often quitting matches to save the titles - 4
the 1-2-3 Kid
Started off as a preliminary wrestler, famous for beating Razor Ramon in an upset match on Raw. Grew progressively worse when he became X-Pac - 2
the French Canadians
Are you referring to The Quebbeccers? That tag team had Jacques 'Mountie' Rougeau with another bloke - 3
Jimmy Mouth of the South
A great manager because he used his gimmick to annoy the crowd effectively. He got beat up occassionally as well - 4
Bobby Heenan
Perhaps the best manager in the WWF ever - he took a bump or two as well. Great commentator - 5
Jesse Ventura
Former wrestler and  a great commentator. Would always point out the controversy in a match - and he hated Hogan - 4
The Disco Inferno  
Would have done better with a less idiotic gimmick - 2Junk Yard Dog
O.K. Not great wrestler. Died a few years back - 2
Jerry 'The King' Lawler
Former USWA wrestler and commentator. Entertaining but his voice is too high and screechy - 3
The British Bulldog
A good power wrestler. Did well in both Royal Rumbles 91 and 92 and had the best match of his life against Bret Hart at Summerslam 92 - 4
Arn Anderson
A solid scientific wrestler and wonderfully paired with Tully Blanchard in 88/89 as The Brainbusters - 4

Bad actors indeed (have you heard some of them?) but great athletes - well most of them. Big Show and Undertaker are past it.  :)
