10 Wrestlers Who Eventually Rewarded Fans For Sticking With Them
5. The Elite
If you were to break it down to individual acts, the Elite would dominate a large percentage of this feature.
For those who have stuck with the members of the Elite, each talent is currently rewarding those people on a major, major level.
If you're a Young Bucks fan, you've seen the Bucks go from the independents and being a throwaway act as Generation Me in TNA, to now being the EVPs of a wrestling promotion that could well be a genuine rival to Vince McMahon's WWE.
Likewise, if you're a Kenny Omega fan, you've seen the Best Bout Machine leave WWE's developmental system, to struggling on the independent scene, to slowly building himself a reputation as one of the best in the world in NJPW, to now being another EVP of this new wrestling juggernaut.
Then there's Cody Rhodes, who had been spinning and spinning and spinning his wheels in those final few WWE years before making the ballsy call to exit the company and take a chance on himself. Again, the American Nightmare is another EVP of the hottest-rising wrestling promotion on the planet.
Throw in 'Hangman' Page, who is now one of the greatest babyface acts in the industry, and the members of the Elite are now achieving unprecedented success and rewarding those who have stood by them over the years.
