10 Biggest One Hit Wonders In Wrestling History

3. James Ellsworth

Known for: lacking a chin.

How funny (!).

This chinless, in-over-his-head oddity was fed to Braun Strowman at the onset of WWE's New Era in July 2016 in what should have been a one-and-done job. Miraculously, that turned into a TWO-YEAR gig that accompanied three victories over then-WWE Champion AJ Styles, albeit as clean as any Ultimate Warrior loss, and a key position next to Carmella, which, in itself, saw Ellsworth retrieve the briefcase for his beau to conclude the first women's Money in the Bank Ladder match.

The women's revolution, everybody.

Why didn't he thrive after: because he wasn't good.

Clumsy, bland, and generically useless, James Ellsworth was also largely immobile. His Superkick was delivered with all the grace and elegance of Mr Bean. He threw his limbs about haphazardly, hoping to connect, and if not, it wouldn't matter; Vince McMahon was so far up his backside, he practically had job security for life. He couldn't even take a biel throw properly. Chucked about by Braun Strowman, again, during Survivor Series 2016's mini-classic Raw vs. SmackDown match, he barely lifted his feet off the ground in a move that relied on Braun's strength and not much else.

Again: he was useless.
