10 Wrestlers You Didn’t Realise Wrestled For WWE In 1999
7. Simon Diamond
Despite the fact he had already started to make a name for himself in ECW in late-1998, Simon Diamond couldn't resist WWE's bright lights, and continued to work enhancement matches for the company in 1999 before fully committing to Paul Heyman later that year.
As Lance Diamond, he lost matches to fellow future ECW star Julio (Dinero) Sanchez and Attitude Era struggler Tiger Ali Singh when the company travelled through New York and New Jersey respectively, having worked repeatedly in dark matches and televised squashes for the better part of year.
After going full time with the Philadelphia outfit, Diamond would never work for Vince McMahon again. He was one of several talents hopeful of a WCW contract when the company folded in March 2001, but with WWE largely unmoved by his talents, he took to the independent circuit before securing work with TNA first as a wrestler and then an on and off-screen agent.
Remarkably, outside of a one-year gap in 2008, he would remain with the tumultuous Orlando operation for another fourteen years, having only left the company in June 2017.
