  4. Chris Benoit
  5. Mr. Wrestling / Tim Woods

After surviving the plane crash in North Carolina in 1975 that crippled Johnny Valentine and nearly ended Ric Flair’s career, Woods (with a concussion and fractured spine) crawled away from the wreck so it wouldn’t be discovered that he was traveling with heels, hitched a ride to the hospital and checked in under an alias, then wrestled two weeks later in order to “prove” that he couldn’t possibly have been in a plane crash like the dirtsheets were reporting.

Traylor was Jim Cornette’s bodyguard early in his career. The two arrived at a venue in a taxi together and the car door got slammed on Traylor’s hand. He remained quiet and calmly walked into the locker room and Taylor then starts yelling about the pain.
