10 WWE Stars You Totally Don’t Remember Appearing At WrestleMania
The forgotten few.
WWE loves to remind audiences that WrestleMania is the 'Show of Shows', the 'Grandaddy Of 'em All' and 'The Showcase of The Immortals'. And at least some of the time, that's definitely true.
But the size and reach of World Wrestling Entertainment should never be underestimated, and every now and then, a performer makes it onto the card as much due to the timing of their stint with the organisation, a quirk of fate, or dumb luck.
Zack Ryder had to wait nearly a decade to hear his own entrance theme played at a WrestleMania, and to this day a singles match on the big stage still eludes former World Heavyweight Champion Dolph Ziggler.
This group of WWE superstars are not even in league with 'The Show Off' or 'Long Island Iced Z', but still make the list of the select few to make it onto a WrestleMania card over the previous 33 years.
Somehow able to leave their mark in wrestling history whilst barely leaving a mark in the industry full-stop, here are 10 WWE performers you totally don’t remember that have appeared at WrestleMania.
10. Sniper
1997's 'Gang Wars' were in-part designed to pad out WWE's wafer-thin roster during the most fiercely competitive years of the Monday Night Wars, particularly when Raw switched to a weekly two hour format.
The Nation of Domination triggered the trend, with Faarooq rebuilding a four man squad after firing Savio Vega and Crush, who each returned with the backing of Los Boricuas and the Disciples of Apocalypse respectively.
Added to the mix were the Truth Commission, a stable of drab heels working a South African white separatist gimmick that was never fleshed out on television enough to draw adequate heat or connect them to any of the other factions on the roster.
The Commission rapidly crumbled, with manager The Jackyl favouring the giant Kurrgan over Sniper and Recon, convincing the mammoth 'Interrogator' to attack his former stablemates, dissolving the group for good.
Sniper and Recon formed their own tag team in response, and did so just in time to gain inclusion into WrestleMania 14's show-opening tag team battle royal.
The duo were eliminated when Kurrgan interfered to dump out Sniper, forcing Recon out of the match as well.
Recon would stick at it, with passable runs as Bull Buchanan and John Cena's sidekick B2, but Sniper quietly retired in 1999.
