Hidden Gem Wrestlers

[simonworden]

The mention of needing more Mike Awesome style talents in wrestling in another thread reminded me of wanting to start this thread. 

 

Not quite, who is the next big thing but who is or was an absolute hidden gem of a wrestler that most people have never heard of or seen their best stuff. Not really in the fashion of "their pre WWE stuff woz betta" but who was totally missed out on or is far too unknown these days. 

I'll throw a couple from my way in the hat. First being Da Butcherman from Singapore. Gimmick started off pretty hokey back in the day being a psychotic butcher who spoke in tongues but he's dropped that and his last 24 months as a singles (and tag) star have been absolutely superb. Being a big meaty man he stands out here. I'd say this was his best match last year.

His opponent is the wonderful Carlo Cannon who was Lance Storm's first graduate and an absolute beast in his own right. 

I could post loads more matches but this one is probably enough to get the gist. Carlo's match against Robin Sane in Dexcon is meant to be fantastic with him launching the far smaller Sane around like a torpedo but it's not been released on Triller yet.

I've got two - one is a tremendous worker who came in at the tail end of British wrestling on TV and another also appeared on British TV but was one of the biggest draws in MSG history with Bruno and was long gone by the time Hulkamania arrived (and I wish he could've had a run against Hulk with Bobby Heenan managing him).

'Gentleman' Jimmy Ocean and Spiros Arion.
