7 WCW Jobbers Who Became WWE World Champions

7. Rob Van Dam

Before he was changing the game in ECW, Rob Van Dam was changing his name for WCW.

Calling himself Robbie V, The Whole F'in Show made his WCW debut in January 1993 and wrestled a handful of matches for the promotion over the next six months.

Although he won a few matches, he was mostly used to put over names like Paul orndorff and The Barbarian. He would also clash with The Hollywood Blonds as part of a tag team match and once tangoed with future ECW star, Raven, under his Scotty Flamingo persona.

After floating around the indies and Japan for a while, Van Dam ended up in Extreme Championship Wrestling and made a huge name for himself.

This led to him being signed by the WWE in 2001 and, five years later, he would beat John Cena to become WWE Champion at ECW One Night Stand 2006.

A guy like Van Dam was never going to reach the main event somewhere like WCW. His high-flying offence and agility made him a perfect fit for the cruiserweight division, but this was definitely as high as he could have gone.

And if we know one thing about RVD, it's that he likes being high.
