Plenty of great luchadores that never made the cross-over to America (and even some of those that did) not on your list. Pretty sure I saw Sharkboy twice. Maybe some kind of classification system, alphabetization, or sorting by promotion/era might help. Good luck.

That's why I hate those PWI 500 lists more and more every single year. Many luchadors, who are wayyyyy better, that american wrestlers, don't make it into those lists. And they really deserve this more. Or they are placed unfairly. Look at 2010 list (http://theturnbucklepost.com/information/pwi-500-annual-listings/pwi-500-2010/). LA Park is number 534?! Nik=cky Benz (aka Nick Berk from CZW) is higher than LA Park?! How? Who else is higher, than Park. Truit Fields. Who, in the bluest of blue hell, is Truit Fields?!
