Honorable mentions
D-Lo Brown: Is a 43 time title holder throughout his career. However, most of those reigns were with very small, or now defunct indie promotions. His most notable title reigns came as a four-time European Champion with WWE. He was also a member of the Nation of ? . D-Lo currently works behind the scenes with TNA as the head of their talent development and acquisition department.
Nelson Frazier, Jr.: Most notable for his runs as Mabel, Viscera and Big Daddy V, he is the 1995 WWF King of the Ring winner and was a member of The Undertaker's Ministry. He currently wrestles in Japan for All Japan Pro Wrestling.
Jacqueline Moore: One of the few women to hold a male title in the WWE, Ms. Jackie is a former WWE Cruiserweight champion (now defunct) and a two-time WWE Women's champion. Her in-ring abilities have also been highly regarded as she is very skilled in the ring. She currently wrestles in TNA with her partner ODB.
Mark Henry: Mark is a fifteen year WWE veteran (only the Undertaker and Triple H are longer tenured) who is the current number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship. Should he defeat Randy Orton at the 2011 Night of Champions PPV, he will become the first African-American World Champion to hold the title since Booker T. did it in 2005.
New Jack: One of Extreme Championship Wrestling's most violent characters, New Jack was known for mauling his opponents with any weapon he could find and was especially fond of using cheese graters. He was also a three-time ECW Tag-Team Champion. His forty foot fall with Vic Grimes, which was botched, resulting in brain damage and blindness in one eye of New Jack, is one of the most shocking moments in the history of modern pro-wrestling.
Montel Vontavious Porter: MVP is a two-time WWE United States Champion and one-time Tag Team Champion (with Matt Hardy), who is currently the IWGP Intercontinental Champion in New Japan Pro Wrestling.
Kamala: Best known for his stints in the WWF, Kamala the Ugandan Warrior was a successful, mid-level, savage heel who is best known for his battles with the likes of Andre The Giant, Jake Roberts and The Undertaker. Kamala also held the USWA Unified Heavyweight Championship on four occasions.
*Note: Rocky Johnson and Abdullah The Butcher will both make appearances on the following list. Although both hail from Canada, they will be recognized for their contributions to the sport as well. The list simply wouldn't be complete without them.
