The WWF missed out on a great gimmick when Henry and Phineas stopped being pig farmers and became Jeff Jarrett's henchmen. Why call them Southern Justice when they could have been "Godwinns Law".

Has anyone read "Ballyhoo!: The Roughhousers, Con Artists, and Wildmen Who Invented Professional Wrestling (Sports and American Culture)"?

Disgraceful scenes at West Brom vs Wolves.

I remember the Mongolian Mauler for having a cup of coffee in WCW in 1990, including being in the finals of the "African tournament" to be in the Pat 'O Connor Memorial Tag Team Tournament at Starrcade '90. He also wrestled in Britain for quite a few years, notably appearing in the Robbie Brookside Video Diaries documentary in 1993.
RIP.

IMO Bruiser Brody would have come into the WWF and got the run that Bad News Brown actually got.

Are tag teams of two already inducted wrestlers eligible for the HOF? Eg Stevens & Patterson, Bockwinkel & Stevens, Bruiser & Crusher?

I don't know why it's come out so small but if you click on it, it's the first few pages of the novel. Looks dreadful.

Owen Hart
Yokozuna
Mantaur
Jimmy Del Ray
Rip Oliver

That's 11 just off the top of my head. There's definitely more if you consider all the guys Cornette managed in Memphis when he was Jimmy Hart's assistant.

RIP Trevor Francis, Britain's first million pound player and someone who I spotted in the crowd at the first WWF house show I went to, in April 1991.
And another Wednesday/Forest legend Chris Bart-Williams passes away the same day. RIP.

Distant wrestling relations. Andrade's father in law's cousin's uncle's former son in law is Spike Huber.

Random match from 1988, the last year of "World of Sport" wrestling. 2 wrestlers turned actors, Pat Roach of Indiana Jones fame, vs "Sky Walker" aka Tyler Mane of X-Men and Rob Zombie's "Halloween" fame.

There's no holiday camp shows from Butlins, Pontins etc on there as far as I can see and some wrestlers would have worked hundreds of them. They only have 1164 matches listed for Robbie Brookside and he had a 30 year career as a full-time wrestler.

Whether the results are in wrestling data or not, Sullivan wrestled all over the world, including Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, the Middle East, in addition to lots of independent shows in the 90s.
It doesn't have any results for him from any of those countries. Only USA, Canada, Japan, the Bahamas and one match in Switzerland.
I'm sure there's lots missing from the site. Small non-Mexico City Lucha shows, shows in community centres in Britain attended by kids and old ladies, random tours of Asia and Africa that have been run over the years. There was a tour of Australia in 1990ish headlined by Paul Orndorff vs Bam Bam Bigelow which I remember reading about in magazines which isn't on there. I saw El Hijo del Santo vs Blue Panther in a church in Colchester, England in 2005 (they had a 2nd match in the same city the following day), that's not on there.

Kevin Sullivan?
Bingo. That one surprised me. Just because he only seemed to be a part time wrestler once he hit 40.

Smothers is up there with 950 listed opponents.

If you presume the promotions that wrestlingdata has are the more prominent territories,and the clue, I’d say Greg Valentine, working in WWF, JCP and Northeast indies who records have been catalogued.
Valentine is correct, 1003 listed opponents.
9 minutes ago, AxB said:Terry Gordy? He started young and moved around a lot.
Juventud Guerrera did too. But a lot of those sites won't have comprehensive coverage of Mexican indies.
Dave Taylor? But perhaps the site doesn't have a comprehensive list of 80s UK house shows.
Terry Gordy - 592
Juvi - 813
Dave Taylor - 420
5 minutes ago, odessasteps said:Yeah, i could see the real answer someone like Satanico, 50 year career, working anywhere from 6 to 10 matches a week.
Satanico - 403
I've no doubt plenty of results for Lucha and old-school British wrestling are missing from the site. But those guys fought the same opponents many many times, rather than different opponents a few times.

Did WCW ever mention it by name?
