#2 Dusty Rhodes
'The American Dream' Dusty Rhodes is a crown jewel of the wrestling business. He was one of the greatest wrestlers of all-time, and one of the greatest wrestling minds of all-time.
Dusty has held countless championships, including being a 3 time NWA World Heavyweight Champion. Dusty was everything to Jim Crockett Promotions and was up on top almost every step of the way with the company's face, Ric Flair. Having the career that he had in the NWA in the '80s, you would think that WWE would push him right to the top and give us those dream WWE Championship matches with Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage, but nope.
In fact, not only did Dusty not receive any big-time WWE Championship matches but didn't even get a crack at the Intercontinental or Tag Team titles either. The fact that The American Dream wrestled for WWE and not only never challenged for the WWE Championship but never held a Championship period, should be a crime.
Dusty actually came close to holding the WWE World Tag Team Championship, but that wouldn't be until he was practically retired in 2006 when he was an option to team with Ric Flair to face The Spirit Squad for the Tag Team titles at Cyber Sunday.
The winner of the poll, the late 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper, would go onto team with Flair to defeat the cheerleaders for the Tag Team titles that night.
