Whether they'll admit it or not, just about every professional wrestler in the world dreams of one day appearing in WWE.

One or two notable exceptions aside, Vince's promotion is unquestionably the final destination for budding workers, many of whom grew up with eyes glued to Raw and SmackDown. So the hoops some will jump through just for even the briefest of appearances with the sports entertainment titans are not at all surprising.

While developmental wrestlers have regularly appeared as security guards and cops over the years, countless future WWE stars also appeared as Adam Roses' 'Rosebuds' during his tenure with the company - including Braun Strowman, James Ellsworth, and Alexa Bliss to name just a few.

However, outside of the Rosebud/Security Guard category, several big name superstars appeared in WWE under surprising circumstances prior to their eventual full-time debuts. From main event prospects and rising stars of today to former WWE Champions and eventual WWE Hall of Famers, the list of wrestling personalities to play background roles in WWE is as surprising as it is long.

We've picked out ten of the most bizarre cameos to get you started.

10. DDP - Cadillac Driver

When you think of Diamond Dallas Page, it's easy to picture WCW titles, Diamond Cutters, and hand signals. One image that doesn't immediately spring to mind, is that of Dallas driving a pink Cadillac. Nevertheless, that's exactly what Page did at WrestleMania VI.

As chauffeur for Rhythm & Blues, Page was tasked with driving Honky Tonk Man, Greg Valentine, and Jimmy Hart to the ring for the debut of their new song, "Honka Honka Honka Honky Love". The rendition was soon interrupted by The Bushwhackers, one of whom was coincidentally the very person that recommended Dallas for the role of driver in the first place.

At the time, Page was running a bar in Fort Myers, Florida named Norma Jeans, which became a nightlife hotspot in the area and a regular hangout for wrestlers during the late 1980s. Critically, it also had a pink Caddy parked outside.

The future WCW Champ had also been managing in the AWA since '88, all of which gave him several in roads to the WWF. When Vince McMahon needed a a classic car for WrestleMania in 1990, Bushwhacker Luke was quick to suggest Dallas - and his Cadillac - for the part. Page even drove the car all the way from Florida to Toronto for the event.
