10 'Before They Were Famous' WWE Cameos You Won't Believe

10. MVP (Policeman)

MVP's coveted free agent gimmick was instantly memorable when he made his main roster debut in August 2006. Having honed the character in then-developmental territory Deep South Wrestling, MVP was a ready-made heel perfect for SmackDown. How he managed to develop those skills whilst also working as a policeman is anyone's guess.

Wait, what?

That's right: on the 13 January 2005 episode of SmackDown, MVP appeared as a policeman tasked with protecting Kurt Angle's precious Olympic gold medals. The one-off gig was a time killer before Angle started a program with Shawn Michaels at the Royal Rumble.

MVP didn't do much other than stand around holding a little box before watching Angle win his invitational exhibition match. Oh, for the record, Kurt's opponent that night? Future ROH Champion and NXT star Roderick Strong. It's a small world.
