10 Worst WWE Origin Stories

Like Alicia Fox, Isaac Yankem decided to take up the sport of wrestling after a WWE superstar enlisted his professional services outside the ring. Instead of a wedding planner, though, he was a dentist.

The man whose teeth needed looking at was Jerry Lawler, who quickly convinced Yankem to forget about the years he spent training in dentistry to come and help him get one over on Bret Hart, with whom he had been vociferously feuding for a few weeks now.

Unsurprisingly, the newbie ended up losing against the Excellence of Execution three times on the spin, first on an edition of Superstars, again at SummerSlam, and then finally inside a steel cage on an episode of Raw in October.

Yankem subsequently vanished from our screens altogether before getting repackaged a short while later as Fake Diesel, and then eventually the Big Red Machine Kane, a guise he has now worn for more than 20 years. You can't beat a happy ending.
