10 Wrestlers Who Were Given Way Too Many Chances

Brian Adams looks like a big, tough dude so it’s probably why he got so many opportunities in the industry. The problem is that he never got better as a worker, and his promos were as generic as you could get. Still, though, he was big.

Adams’ first role in the WWF was to take over for Bill Eadie—who was dealing with serious health issues—in Demolition. After the group broke up, he kept the Crush name but mysteriously dropped the S&M ring gear and face paint, and turned into a surfing Hawaiian. Gnarly! He later turned heel against his pal Randy Savage, getting a big WrestleMania match out of it. It wasn't very good.

Crush gave up the surfboard to become a biker in the Nation of Domination and Disciples of Apocalypse. Despite never being all that popular, Eric Bischoff then signed him to a deal, because that’s what he did for just about anyone with WWF experience.

Adams became a lackluster member of the nWo, was the original Kiss Demon, and then finished off his career in KroniK. His 11 year run in major promotions was kind of impressive, mainly because of his pretty obvious lack of talent.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
