Amateur wrestlers don’t always fit into the world of pro wrestling the way that some people think that they may, but it cannot be denied that there is quite the Hall of Fame lineage of those who have gone from amateur to pro and been able to grasp the entertainment values of pro wrestling and put it into one dynamic package. Names like Kurt Angle, Bret Hart, Bob Backlund, and Jack Brisco immediately spring to mind for me.
In the world of Ring Of Honor, pure wrestling is the name of the game and therefore you would think that those who really enjoy the competitive aspect of amateur wrestling will be able to flourish in a company that thrives on athleticism and ability. ROHWrestling.com just posted the latest edition of The Five Count chronicling the top five amateurs turned pro wrestlers in the company today. The list shakes out like this:
5. Hurricane Helms
4. Cody Rhodes
3. Josh Woods
2. Dalton Castle
1. Jeff Cobb
