10 Unlikely Superstars That Deserve A Place In WWE Hall Of Fame
5. Spike Dudley
Spike Dudley had no right becoming a professional wrestler. Standing at 5 foot 8 inches in the '90s and breaking through when towering mass was all the rage, he was regularly dwarfed. Spike didn’t bulk up like other smaller guys (see Eddie Guerrero or Rey Mysterio), through choice or genetics, who knows. He made do with what God gave him.
A successful association with the Dudley family in ECW made him a regular performer on PPV events as a fan-favorite, notably crowd-surfing through the arena after an exuberant launch from Bam Bam Bigelow. Around this time Spike made a short yet impactful appearance in much-lauded documentary movie 'Beyond The Mat'.
Joining his ‘brothers’ Bubba and D-Von in WWE in 2001, Spike again defied the odds to over-achieve in the land of giants. Who can forget his involvement in the TLC match at WrestleMania X-Seven or his association with Steve Austin during the Invasion angle? Spike would go on to win four different championships in a near four-year stint, finishing his run as the heel ‘boss’ of the Dudleys faction.
Small in stature but not in passion.
