To start, I have no idea what I am talking about on this subject. I've just never seen a list like this and thought posting one might provoke the more well informed to try their hand. I apologize if something like this is already in the works. By British, I included English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish wrestlers. I hope that doesn't offend anyone. The criteria is any and all factors that make a pro wrestler legendary. The list is about where the wrestlers were born not where they wrestled.

I agree, Peter, and - as Anglo has touched on - we can only go with our own perspectives.
I've now realised that, if I include John Saint I really need to include Steve Grey and Mal Sanders...
