Professional wrestling is a funny business. Many talented and popular wrestlers never get the opportunity to carry a federation's banner as a world heavyweight champion. As a result, many hall-of-famers--current and future--miss out on holding the most prized possession in all of the game, a big gold belt that signifies he is, as Ric Flair would put it, "the man" in his company. So in honor of WWE Monday Night Raw coming to the Cajundome next week, I present to you my list of the top 10 pro wrestlers that never won a world heavyweight championship.

We're all familiar with country musicians that branch into pop and rock. Shania Twain is the posterchild for country crossover artists. Even Garth Brooks attempted a jump into the rock world (Chris Gaines, anyone?). One country music legend, however, branched out into uncharted territory when, in 1985, he released a jazz album.

I saw a commercial on TV the other day for the upcoming Willie Nelson concert in the Heymann Center. I remarked to a co-worker that Lafayette Metro Narcotics might have to set up shop outside of the venue so they can inspect Willie's tour bus. That then got me thinking about one of my favorite novelty songs--a song that was one of the most requested tracks on my old college radio program and a song that fits Willie's personality perfectly.

Some of you guys out here in the amazing land of tubes might be familiar with the movie A Christmas Story, the classic 1983 flick based stories found in Jean Shepherd’s book In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash. If you have never seen the movie, I urge you to watch it and then return to read this passage. If you are familiar with the movie, you will appreciate the following tale of how I killed a half-hour in a Lafayette, Louisiana, shopping mall on the second Saturday of Advent in 2008.

Acadiana is the home to many a pro wrestling fan, especially those that consider themselves fans of the "old school." They long for the days when part of the Saturday routine was spent watching Ric Flair, Ted DiBiase, Junkyard Dog, or Ernie Ladd on television. With the WWE coming to town in just a few days, let's take this opportunity to revisit wrestling's past.
