Kamala is just plain fun. He main evented a bit with Hogan. He was also a big draw in the south before he arrived in the WWF.
I stand corrected on Volkoff. All I remembered was The Bolsheviks, his subsequent face turn, then being low man on the totem pole in Dibiase's corporation.
I'm surprised Ultimate Warrior is on there. Not because he isn't a legend, he is of course, but because he has the rights to his own character name, and obviously things between he and Vince are awfully acrimonious.
Now that you mention Backlund, he should be on there if the list is going to be that long. Wish Owen Hart was on there too, he was my all-time favorite...but I understand there would be a lot of sensitivity on profiting from his name, even this much later. Oh well, still a really solid list despite a few omissions and a couple in Kamala and Koko that I still find a bit odd.
