3. Mike Bast
If this list was just on talent alone, Mike Bast would be at the top of it. Bast was so good, he was almost boring to watch. His gating was amazing, and his form was absolutely flawless. He parlayed that combination into hundreds of main event wins, seven U.S. National championships and six California State titles. Bast chose not to go overseas because he was raising a young family, had business interests and was making too much money riding in California. Had he gone overseas, he probably would have been a multi-time World Champion and started a World War or two.
