10 Secret Debuts Of Famous Wrestlers
10. Rob Van Dam
A genuine "before they were famous" moment of happenstance this, in that Rob Van Dam was so far removed from the type of wrestling he'd gone to see in this clip that the two fields barely seemed connected by the time he broke big.
As a 16-year old fan, Van Dam was hauled out of the crowd as part of a gimmick Dibiase had at the time of embarrassing people for the promise of the all mighty dollar. "Everybody's Got A Price" so went his rationale, and he proved it in this particular spot when 'Mr Monday Night' kissed his feet for the princely sum of $100.
He made much more than three figures when he eventually gained employment from real-life Dibiase Vince McMahon in 2001, though a failure to kiss up to him on several occasions might have been why so few of those years were spent as the company's top earner.
