10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Road Dogg

As the 'Road Dogg' Jesse James, the one-time Brian Armstrong carved a legacy for himself in WWE history. The man's real name is actually Brian James, but he's part of the well-known Armstrong wrestling family. His father, Bob wrestled with the surname, so all 4 of his sons, Brian, Brad, Steve and Scott took on the moniker also. It wasn't until Road Dogg had been in the industry for over a decade that he got his first major run. Making his then-WWF debut in 1994 as 'The Roadie', the man worked alongside Jeff Jarrett. Acting largely as a manager, he was something also allowed to show what he could do inside the ring. That said, it would be another few years before the Road Dogg character was created. That particular persona gave the wrestler more stature, and he became part of D-Generation X. Forming 'The New Age Outlaws' with Billy Gunn before joining DX was pivotal in his successful run.

It wasn't all plain sailing for Road Dogg however. Personal demons would derail his career badly, and those issues are discussed in this article exploring things WWE would rather wrestling fans forgot about the man. From backstage incidents in WWE to TNA, there's a lot involved. Road Dogg is still fondly remembered to this day, but the man himself feels his career should have been even more remarkable...
