17. Arn Anderson

One of the major wrestlers to help forge the path for WCW, Anderson gained respect through years of effort. He spent years in WCW’s predecessor, Jim Crockett Promotions, teaming with Ric Flair and the rest of The Four Horsemen. He did leave for WWE, but returned to what had become WCW.

Anderson quickly won the WCW Television Title, then went on to form championship teams with both Larry Zbyszko and Bobby Eaton. He also joined other groups like Paul Heyman’s Dangerous Alliance and Col. Rob Parker’s Stud Stable. Fittingly, Anderson again ended up with Ric Flair, re-forming The Horsemen for one last run before retiring due to injuries.
