10 Wrestlers Who Knew They Were DOOMED On Day One

10. The Public Enemy

The Dudley Boyz must've been sh*tting bricks when they found out what happened to fellow ECW-ers Johnny Grunge and Rocco Rock. The Public Enemy bombed spectacularly in the WWF, and no amount of broken tables could save them from scathing glances backstage.

Public Enemy became the enemy (they'd signed for WCW a few years before), and pretty much nobody liked them. That hatred turned physical when Bradshaw and Faarooq kicked the living hell out of Grunge and Rock on an episode of Sunday Night Heat in early-1999. Their fate was sealed; this was The APA's way of saying, 'Go back to your bingo halls, and never choose WCW over the WWF again!'.

Point taken.

WWF life had to be a white knuckle ride for Paul Heyman's pet project. Both Grunge and Rocco had to privately question why they were so despised, but all they could do was try to ride it out and then lick their wounds elsewhere.
