10 Wrestlers You Didn't Realise Wrestled For WWE In 1996

10. D'Lo Brown

The most underrated wrestler of the entire Attitude Era? D’Lo Brown is usually in that conversation.

The Nation of Domination went on to become one of the most entertaining parts of a stacked midcard, winning many titles and doing more than most to make the European Championship a credible title.

Brown made his official WWE debut in 1997, getting a nondescript role in the Nation before being smashed onto a roof by Ahmed Johnson and rising the ranks in the process. His first televised match as D’Lo Brown came in April 1997 but that wasn’t his first TV bout in the company, oh no. He wouldn’t be included in this list if it was, would he?

Brown was a much-used jobber in the years previous, regularly looking up at the lights for Earthquake, Henry Godwinn and all the rest. D’Lo was a regular in Heartland City Wrestling at the time, a spot which guaranteed plenty of job-time in WWE, with the future European and Intercontinental Champion coming up short against The Body Donnas on a 1996 episode of Superstars.

He was partnered by Major Yates, if you were wondering.
