8: The Man of a 1000 Holds – Dean Malenko

No nickname in wrestling has ever been more apt than Dean Malenko’s moniker, The Man of a 1,000 holds. Malenko is one of the best technical wrestlers of all time and got his nickname based on his vast knowledge of holds, submissions and reversals. His time in WCW even got him to No.1 on the Wrestling Observer’s annual PWI 500 list.

Although his time in the WWE wasn’t nearly as successful as his time in WCW’s Cruiserweight division, he remains a valuable part of the WWE even today, working as a road agent and helping Superstars put together the best matches possible.
