10 Scrappiest WWE Underdogs

Da-da-da-DA-da-DAAAAH. Puppy. Power!

Everyone loves an underdog - the ones that no one really expects anything of, who surpass those lowered expectations to suddenly achieve something great. Sports fans - and this includes wrestling fans, of course - love to be pleasantly surprised, and love to see the Little Engine That Could story play out on the pitch or in the ring. It€™s the feelgood hit everybody talks about for weeks afterwards. Underdogs give people something to believe in, even if it€™s something as simple as the fact that the outcome of a match isn€™t always as you€™d expect. At their finest, the underdog can create the conditions for genuine emotional investment in their journey and their victory. But a quality underdog doesn€™t have to beat the odds to impress. They don't necessarily have to win - look at Rocky. They don't have to be the smallest person in the world, either: they don't even have to be the most loved. It€™s the effort that wins us over, the refusal to lie down and die. The payoff is a wonderful thing: but no underdog is ever a failure... if only they just keep getting up, keep trying, keep making us all believe. With that in mind, these are my picks for the scrappiest, most never-say-die underdogs in WWE history.
