Something many people often forget when analysing the careers of professional wrestlers is that these men and women had lives before featuring in WWE or TNA every week. As children, wrestling fans often think every single person working on WWE television must be millionaires, but that obviously isn't always the case. In fact, a lot of folks are just like everyone else, they have a passion and they dearly hope to realise their dreams as adults. Before they became famous through their work in pro wrestling, even the stars who sit atop the proverbial totem pole had other jobs that weren't quite so glamourous. It makes sense, because they're just people trying to get by, but every so often those guys and girls who light up wrestling TV every week had prior experience with a camera in their face. Whether it be The Big Show guest starring on 'Thunder In Paradise' with Hulk Hogan before making a splash in WCW, or even guys like Rob Van Dam getting down on his hands and knees as a kid and kissing the feet of the 'Million Dollar Man' Ted DiBiase, many top wrestlers have been featured on television long before becoming stars through the grappling world. This list looks at 5 curious examples of wrestling talent who have appeared on TV before they were household names in wrestling, or even noteworthy at all.
