By which I mean the guys you love who, judging by their talent (or at least their personal appeal to you), should be household names but just never quite got the recognition you feel they deserve.
The Briscoes. I've made no secret of the fact that #demboys are my all time favorite tag team and I think that they are all around one of the most entertaining acts in pro wrestling today. Jay Briscoe is a top 30 all-around in the world imo, and these guys have a winning record over every top non-WWE team in the world including The Bucks, but get no recognition outside of RoH, even by most indie smarks. I don't get it. Luckily, their style lends itself to a lengthy career, so hopefully I'll get to watch them for a long time to come.
Alex Shelley. He's in his mid 30s now and sadly retired last year, but if he was 5-7 years younger his looks, style, and charisma would be perfect for the current NJPW, LU, RoH, or even WWE product. He got some minor attention and recognition with the MCMG and Time Splitters, but he's still virtually unknown outside of mid 2000s TNA marks and New Japan purists.
