The American Athletic Conference is&nbsp;one of two conferences created from the split of the original <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/all-big-east-conference-schools/sportsyeah?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Big East Conference</a>, with the other conference purchasing the Big East Conference name while no longer participating in football.&nbsp;Though the AAC&nbsp;was created in 2013, it claims that 1979--the year the original Big East was founded--is its founding date. The AAC is made up of schools from the Northeast, South, Midwest, and West.&nbsp;

The Greatest Wrestlers, Ranked

Wrestling

In pro wrestling, the highest honor a wrestler can achieve is becoming the champion of their respective promotion. Becoming the champion has a lot of responsibility, like being the face of the organization and being the number one main eventer at a particular time. This is the guy at a particular moment who you want to lead the charge. The champ can be a face or a heel, as long as they generate enough attention towards the title and keeps the fans wanting more. While there have been many champions in many different promotions, the people listed on here are the greatest wrestling champions. This includes wrestlers from different promotions and even some of the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://www.ranker.com/list/greatest-pro-wrestlers-of-all-time/sportsyeah">greatest wrestlers of all time</a>.So who are the best pro wrestling champs of all time? Any list has to start with one of the most influential wrestlers of all time: Hulk Hogan. The Hulkster has been the heavyweight champion too many times to count in various different promotions like the WWE (obviously) and WCW. The same goes for wrestling legend Ric Flair. You'll also see icons like Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, The Rock, and <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/what-happened-to-stone-cold-steve-austin/anncasano?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Stone Cold Steve</a> Austin on this list of the best wrestling champs of all time.&nbsp;This is the list of the best pro wrestling champions of all time.

Baseball

Minor league baseball teams, unlike their Major League contemporaries, aren't beholden to traditions and do what they can in order to get fans in the seats. This includes changing their team names and logo to attract as much attention as they can. That said, minor league baseball teams have some of the best logos in all of sports. The names are creative, fun and the logos spectacularly creative. You won't see big league teams call themselves the Isotopes, Mermen or even the Aquasox. No matter how you look at it, the minor league teams have awesome logos.What are the best minor league baseball logos? Well, that's not easy if only because of the aforementioned reasons. How cool would it be to snare a Eugene Emeralds cap or even a Bowling Green Hot Rods t-shirt? You'd certainly get asked a lot of questions, the same goes if you pick up an authentic Kenny Powers Myrtle Beach Merman jersey.This is the list of the best minor league baseball logos. Take a look and vote up and down the logos you think are the best and worst. Feel free to add any team if you think they should be included on here.

The Wide World of Wrastlin'

Unlike any other athletes or sports entertainers, professional wrestlers are more prone to die before the age of 55. For whatever reason&nbsp;(the abuse of their bodies, steroids, hard drugs, partying, long hours), these behemoths of the squared circle end up perishing. Unfortunately, this includes many of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/greatest-pro-wrestlers-of-all-time/sportsyeah?publish=true" target="_blank">greatest wrestlers of all time</a>. It&#39;s almost a strange occupational hazard at this point to be a pro wrestler, considering all the bumps you get in the ring. Moreover, it seems&nbsp;you hear about the deaths of these wrestling giants on a more frequent basis as the sport has grown in&nbsp;popularity and becomes a global brand of entertainment. Many of the stars on this list have competed in the WWE, WCW, ECW, AWA among others. The men and women on this list of WWE wrestlers&nbsp;that&nbsp;died&nbsp;have worked in some of the biggest arenas and pay-per-view events in the world.

So which wrestlers died young? That&#39;s the shame of this list. There are guys like Owen Hart, who died during an in-ring stunt, or the tragedy of Chris Benoit and his family, which words can&#39;t really do justice. Others, like <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/andre-the-giant-true-stories/melissa-sartore?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Andre The Giant</a>&nbsp;was a victim of his own size and ultimately that size was one of the reasons for his great success.

The wrestlers on this list all died before their 55th birthday. Though a bit morbid, take a look at the list of dead wrestlers and see who died young.

Breaking down the best NBA players by each position, including point guard, center, and forward.

NBA Greats

Basketball

The best rebounders in NBA history are those star players who dominated in the rebounds department during their long and successful careers in the National Basketball Association over the years. Parked squarely under the net, these best NBA rebounders snagged the ball after a missed shot to give their team the possession, a scoring opportunity and in some cases the momentum to pull out a huge victory.

Holding NBA records for total rebounds and rebounds per game, it&#39;s hard to claim anyone other than Wilt Chamberlain is the best NBA rebounder of all time. Over the course of 1,045 NBA games, Chamberlain averaged 22.9 rebounds per game for a whopping 23,924 over his career. Even in many more games, no one else in the history of the league has come close to that number.

Besides Chamberlain, there are numerous others who are remembered for their rebounding skills. Dennis Rodman, Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Elvin Hayes, Moses Malone and Karl Malone are just a few of those and all have their names in the NBA record books for their impressive rebounding stats. That&#39;s not to say that many current and up and coming players do not have the potential to be remembered the same way. Dwight Howard, Tim Duncan, and Kevin Love&nbsp;all fall into that category as among the best rebounders currently in the NBA and the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/top-10-current-nba-players" target="_blank">best current NBA players</a> in general.

These best rebounders in NBA history are not just the best to pull the boards but also many of the best to ever play the game. Vote for the players you think are the best NBA rebounders ever, add any not listed then come by and vote for the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-top-nba-players-of-all-time" target="_blank">best NBA players of all time</a> too.

The Best and Worst of the NHL

poll

The best NHL teams of all time are those National Hockey league teams who have performed the best throughout the years, won the most Stanley Cup Championships and overall dominated the league. Most, if not all, hockey fans are partial but in the record books, these teams stand among the elite as the winningest and best NHL teams ever.If you judge a better NHL team by the number of championships under their belt, only one team can take that number one spot. The Montreal Canadiens, in their nearly 100-year history, have a whopping 24 Stanley Cup wins. The closest competitor, the Toronto Maple Leafs, only has 13. Following in third comes the Detroit Red Wings with 11. Of those three only Detroit has won the title recently, in 2008, with the last Canadiens championship back in 1993 and the Maple Leafs going back to 1967 for their most recent championship.On the other end of the spectrum, there are also a handful of NHL teams who never won a championship yet. The St. Louis Blues, Buffalo Sabres, Vancouver Canucks, Washington Capitals, San Jose Sharks, Florida Panthers, Phoenix Coyotes, Nashville Predators, Columbus Blue Jackets, Minnesota Wild, and Winnipeg Jets all fall into that category.So how do you decide which NHL teams should be considered the best? Do you look at titles or regular season performance? Does fan support get any credit? Tell us how you rank the best NHL teams of all time by voting for your favorites teams below or re-ranking this list your way.
