10 Wrestlers With Incredible First Years

10. The Dudley Boyz - WWE

Appearing on WWE screens in late-1999 decked out in tye-dye with a stuttering Buh Buh Ray Dudley on the microphone, even the Dudleys themselves couldn't have imagined how well their first year would turn out.

As the abject failure of The Public Enemy experiment still hung in the air, D-Von and Buh-Buh quickly garnered respect in hard-hitting brawls with The Acolytes, then stumbled upon enormous success as a feud with The Hardy Boyz lead to the re-introduction of tables to their act.

Refining the gimmick with a well-timed outfit adjustment and more risky plunder wars with Matt and Jeff, the duo were chosen to end the New Age Outlaws' final Attitude-era reign with the Tag Titles, symbolically closing the door on the old tag team regime in WWE.

Stealing the show as they would at Wrestlemania and Summerslam with Edge, Christian and the Hardy Boyz, the last remaining piece of the puzzle was a face turn, which timed out well with Edge & Christian's ascent to top heel duo in the company.

By the time their one-year anniversary came around, The Dudleys were one of the most over acts on a stacked roster, and had already sealed their fate as likely Hall-of-Famers.
