10 More Early-'90s WWE Superstars You Totally Don't Remember

10. Al Perez

After finding success with the territories, Al Perez was recruited in the latter part of 1989 by WWE, where he enjoyed a largely unspectacular run before his departure midway through the following year.

His matches were largely confined to house shows, where he earned wins over the likes of Koko B. Ware and The Brooklyn Brawler, but he also made the occasional appearance on the Gorilla Monsoon-hosted Prime Time Wrestling in 1990.

His career high came later that year after he jumped ship to the emerging WCW. There, remarkably, he actually ended up fighting Sting in the main event of Clash of the Champions XII after being given the opportunity to play the mystery "Black Scorpion" character.

Unfortunately, Perez left the company before ever being unmasked, and the role was subsequently reprised by a number of other wrestlers before its retirement at the end of the year. Still, not many of us get to headline a show with Sting.
