3. Jimmy Valiant: Valiant was so hot in Tennessee, Jarrett bought him a house.
4. Andy Kauffman: Brought national exposure to Lawler and the territory.
5. Nick Bockwinkel: Lawler's hill he could not seem to climb. They had crazy good chemistry.
6. Terry Funk: A bizarre feud that set a lot of trends.
