10 People Who Had No Business In Professional Wrestling
9. The Cat
You know what? I like The Cat. I dont care if you call my momma and tell her Im crazy! On the microphone, he could be entertaining, in the ring, well... he really didnt belong in a wrestling ring. To also give credit where credit is due, Brodus Clay stole his catchphrase and his music over a decade later. Thats gotta count for something. Right?
Some people in wrestling are hired only for their looks, like our friend Brakkus from the previous slide. Some people land cushy jobs in the business because they teach karate to the president of the companys son. Thus was the story of Ernest Miller.
Miller was a legit badass when it came to karate, but those skills didnt transfer over to figuring out how to construct a wrestling match. He was initially pushed as a babyface tag partner of Glacier, but that was a doomed idea for all involved. He did catch on a bit with his Cat Bo antics and hotline number, but it could never translate that into the ring. Post-WCW, the WWE picked him up, where he wrestled all of three televised matches. Vince realized the man could talk, the man could dance, but he could not wrestle.
And hey, don't worry, well get to that kid who was taught karate by The Cat in a bit...
