10 People Who Had No Business In Professional Wrestling

2. Cheex

When NWA-TNA was created (likely in the back room of a strip club), they wanted to appeal to the millions of former WCW fans who didn€™t jump ship to WWE, and instead quit watching altogether. So it€™s a bit of a wonder why one of their first shows featured a 600 lb man (well, actually billed at 402) who could barely move, let alone wrestle. The man they (unfortunately) called Cheex made Yokozuna in his later years look like Tiger Mask in his prime.

The larger than life man, and larger than most mid-size Sedans, debuted on the second ever episode of TNA€™s weekly pay-per-views. If you paid $10 to watch the first episode, would you be pleased with your next $10 to watch a man whose biggest fight ever was struggling to get into his ring gear?

Cheex no-sold his way through his entire match, and was only able to deliver a couple of clotheslines and running (light jog) butt attacks into the corner for his entire arsenal. He finished off his opponent with a jumping splash, which more closely resembled a stumbling fall. That one match was it for Cheex in a national promotion.

To appreciate just how bad Cheex was, the company that hired two large men (the later to be named Gymini in WWE) to portray two giant penises called The Johnsons, were employed longer than him.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
