#9 Bruiser Brody

Brody's death after being stabbed in a Puerto Rican locker room remains a dark blot on wrestling history, especially since the man believed to be his killer was never charged with the crime.
Why he's not going in: Brody's controversial death made headlines for pro wrestling in all the wrong ways. Also, he wasn't very well liked by the majority of his contemporaries, and those wrestlers passed down their loathing to the next generation.
