I was looking over my copy of the book "The Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame: The Canadians" that I got for Christmas and, as with the other 2 books in the great Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame series so far, there is a list of the top 20 Canadian wrestlers.
On that list, LOW's Killer Kowalski is ranked #3 (Whipper Billy Watson is ranked #1 and Yvon Robert is ranked #2) and LOW's Mad Dog Vachon is ranked #4. Unless I overlooked somebody, we don't yet have any of the other wrestlers on the list released as LOW cards yet. But there are small profiles in this book about these LOW wrestlers: Billy "Red" Lyons, The Mountie (as Jacques Rougeau JR discussed with with the other Rougeaus), Paul "Butcher" Vachon (discussed with the other Vachons), Ivan Koloff, Geto Mongol, and the Missing Link (as Dewey Robertson).
There is also a section of the book called Adopted Canadians which includes LOW's Don Leo Jonathan, and Angelo Mosca and there is also a section of the book called Today's Great Canadians which includes LOW's Steve Corino.
The Love Brothers, who were announced here on this board in the past as agreeing to terms with LOW but don't have their LOW cards released yet, are also profiled in this book.
I might have overlooked someone in LOW because I haven't read this book yet because it's going to be the next book I read after I finish the book about LOW's Bruiser Brody (I got that book for Christmas too). But I really liked the other 2 books in this series- "The Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame: The Tag Teams" and "The Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame: The Heels" so I am sure I'll probably like this book too.
