10 Most Creative Ways Wrestlers Cheated To Win

10. Using The Roadie To Ruin Razor Ramon - Jeff Jarrett, Royal Rumble 1995

Whilst Jeff Jarrett never received the full five stars from Dave Meltzer for this surprising January gem, there were other comparisons to be drawn between the former Intercontinental Champion and 2018 breakout star Andrade Almas. They both had deep familial links with the industry, they both used hideously ostentatious attire to raise the ire of the audience, and their alliterative monikers were tailor-made for Vince McMahon's brand-based empire. Most notable of all though, was in how neither of them remotely resonated with the Sports Entertainment audience until a bothersome ringside presence got added to their act.

Like Zelina Vega for 'Cien' two decades later, The Roadie was a vital component in getting 'Double J' over thanks to rampant interference - never better executed than at his Royal Rumble 1995 coming out party. Roadie was relentless in his assault on Intercontinental Champion Razor Ramon's knee, clipping it for a count-out win only to run further interference when Jarrett goaded 'The Bad Guy' into restarting the match so he could steal his title when the wounded limb wouldn't hold.

It was a masterclass in chicanery - one Ramon would never get on-screen retribution for. Roadie and Jarrett were robust until their explosive collapse (and real life WWE exit together) following a July defeat to Shawn Michaels.
