10 Wrestlers Who Go Back Further Than You Think

8. Keith Lee

Further than you think...if you've not yet had the chance to catch the woefully under-promoted Keith Lee 24 special on the WWE Network.

In that, the former NXT Champion warmly muses on the time he hit the deck for a Vince McMahon forearm as the Chairman, Triple H and Shane McMahon bulldozed through security staff in order to get to Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibiase ahead of WrestleMania 25.

Countless other wrestlers have looked the part as goons-for-hire during short trips to Stamford. The trainees are in that sweet spot of looking big but beatable, though Lee laughed off his old self thinking it best to bump hard for one punch from his future boss, noting that McMahon almost looked rattled by how easily he hit the deck.

Fellow future boss Triple H gifted the 'Limitless' one a few extra seconds of television time to get himself over as an even bigger bad*ss - 'The Game' launched Lee into the barrier in an attack that retrospectively looks fairly unprovoked after his Father-In-Law's easy domination.
