#3. Larry Zybszko

"The Living Legend" would be an interesting fit in with the youngsters of AEW.

While he is not in the physical shape that he was even ten years ago, Zybszko was more than just a traditional wrestling heel. After he hung up the boots, Larry became a commentator for WCW. He parlayed his promo skills into calling the action instead.

He went by the moniker of "the Living Legend" and it would be easy to use that as a moment to confront a brash young star. Zybszko was the protege and later on the rival of Bruno Sammartino - of the one first superstars of pro wrestling. Like the many teacher/student storylines that have been played out, Zybszko eventually turned on Sammartino and became a hated heel.

As a member of the WCW roster, he was a solid mid-card act and a one-time member of Paul Heyman's Dangerous Alliance. While that group didn't have an extremely long run, it was one of the more memorable groups in WCW's history. Many stars think of themselves as 'greats' of the business, so it would be easy to imagine "the Living Legend" coming out to confront someone like Sammy Guevara, who's now calling himself "the Best Ever".
