Qualifying Credentials:WCW US Champion (2000), WWF Intercontinental Champion (1995)
One of the cornerstones of the Old ECW. Competed in WWF and WCW in the early 90s as a soft spoken babyface, but developed a brash, cocky attitude after leaving WCW. Infamously threw down the NWA Title after winning a tournament in 1994, ushering in the Extreme Championship Wrestling Era. Is now semi-retired, but still makes independent appearances.
Qualifying Credentials:2x IWGP Champion
20 year veteran began his career training for New Japan. Known more for tag and midcard matches, but jumped to All Japan in 2002. Won the AJPW Triple Crown, and later the IWGP Title in a cross promotional card, becoming the first (and thusfar only) man to hold the All Japan and New Japan titles simultaneously.
