10 Wrestlers You Didn’t Realise Wrestled For WWE In 1998

10. Kid Kash

The future ECW standout and eventual WWE Cruiserweight Champion performed as David Jericho for several years before clicking in Philadelphia as the high flying Kid Rock tribute act in 1999.

A regular with the renegade group under the Jericho moniker in 1996, Kash worked three times in enhancement roles for WWE in 1998, once doing the honours in spectacular fashion for Taka Michinoku, before falling to Brian Christopher in singles and tag team action when Christopher was paired with 'Too Hot' Scott Taylor as part of the obnoxious 'Too Much' duo.

Showing glimpses of flare that would manifest into meme-worthy high spots of the day, the up-and-comer hung in there with Light Heavyweight Champion Michinoku, with several sequences designed to highlight his spectacular athleticism alongside the equally gifted Japanese sensation.

The doubles encounter later that summer was sadly disastrous for the future 'Notorious K.I.D'. Simultaneously breaking both ankles during a botched hurricanrana sequence with Taylor, he'd be sidelined for over a year and see his WWE tenure abruptly halted. His sudden re-emergence in ECW less than a month after formally returning to the ring was exquisitely timed.
