201. Verne Gagne

215. Elijah Burke
216. Shane McMahon
217. John Tolos

223. Shelton Benjamin
224. Ted DiBiase Jr.
225. Hacksaw Jim Duggan
226. Bart Gunn
227. D-Lo Brown
228. Jacques Rougeau
229. Raymond Rougeau
230. Brian Knobbs
A lot of current wrestlers made in the 220-230 portion. They made because they have not fully had their whole career, so I cannot judge their ranks entirely.
231. Jerry Saggs
232. Rick Steiner
233. Rene Dupree
234. Tony Garea
235. Evan Bourne
236. The Miz
237. Michael P.S. Hayes

241. The Hurricane
242. Mickie James
243. Joey Abs
244. Chris Masters
245. Les Thornton
246. Scotty 2 Hotty
247. Tajiri

Scotty 2 Hotty, no doubt should have been higher in the ranks. But remember I have 1000 wrestlers I have to rank, and some times I will make mistakes.
251. Steve Blackman
252. Kofi Kingston
253. Steve Williams
254. Al Perez
255. The Executioner
256. Chuck Palumbo
257. Marcus Cor Von
258. Missing Link

264. Spiros Arion
265. Shannon Moore
266. Dick The Bruiser
267. Tyson Kidd
268. DH Smith
269. Chief White Owl
270. Battman
DH Smith and Tyson Kidd have great skills in the ring and on the mic, they have yet to hold tag team gold or separate from each other, so I cannot tell who is the weak link of the team yet.
271. The Berzerker
272. The Beast
273. The Warlord
274. Barbarian
275. David Sammartino
276. Angelo Savoldi
277. Adam Bomb

282. Jacob Blu
283. Eli Blu
284. Boris Zhukov
285. Melina
286. Barry Windham
287. Barry Horowitz
288. Baron Von Rachhke

318. Edouard Carpentier
319. Dick Slater
320. Brakkus
Ezekiel Jackson's career has not taken off yet to big success. You can only judge him with his matches on ECW, but he defeats all these unknown people so I can't really judge how good of a wrestler he really is.

344. Rick McGraw
345. Ronnie Garvin
346. Smasher Sloan
347. Skinner

389. Scotty Goldman (Colt Cabana)
390. The Spoiler
