9 Wrestlers Who Vanished Off The Face Of The Earth
9. Sylvester LeFort
Sylvester LeFort's in-ring legacy is one of those unfortunate, deeply reductive things: "Oh yeah, he worked a TakeOver before it got really great, that's weird isn't it".
He's an historical curio now; a particularly tricky trivia question. If you had to guess the name of every wrestler who has worked a TakeOver show in a 15 minute period, LeFort would be the guy preventing you from winning.
He didn't accomplish a lot outside of the storyline in which he made his tag partner, Marcus Louis, shave his head as part of the stipulation for his match with Enzo Amore at Fatal 4-Way. Most only remember the abysmal storyline in which Louis, looking like a very small Kane - i.e., the man Glenn Jacobs is on the inside - went off his nut.
LeFort was released following a prolonged period of inactivity two years later, as NXT slowly became PWG 2.0. He shored up in TNA as Basile Baraka and, again, accomplished little of note. He was decent mechanically, but that was really about it, and despite all but vanishing from the mainstream, he actually worked a three-way against Ultimo Dragon and Tajiri in July.
Do people just make stuff up on Cagematch? It's full of mad sh*te like this.
