#2 Canadian Wrestlers That Should Be Remembered: 'Iron' Mike Sharpe
He held the title 'Canada's greatest athlete' among all Canadian wrestlers. It was a name that many would dispute, but what shouldn't be is his contribution to professional wrestling.

One of the most misunderstood facts about Sharpe was that he was considered an enhancement talent for simply his time in WWE. On television, he typically lost more than he won but that completely negates house show wins and what happened prior to joining the WWE. While with Gene Kiniski's NWA All-Star Wrestling, Sharpe was a two-time Canadian Tag Team champion.
Sharpe also captured the Pacific Coast Heavyweight championship as well. When we add to it his two Mid-South Wrestling Championship reigns, Sharpe was put in a position to be a focal point. Even upon entering WWE, Sharpe was put in a spot where he would eventually challenge then-champion, Bob Backlund, for the Championship.
While he didn't win and wasn't thrust into that position again, he is long remembered for entertaining fans around the world. Iron Mike Sharpe passed away in 2016 at the age of 64 and is among the Canadian wrestlers that need to be remembered.
