Popping up in the WWF time and time again over the course of the 70s, 80s, and 90s, Greg "The Hammer" Valentine ultimately earned himself a place in the WWE Hall of Fame by the time 2004 came around.

But not content with just picking up his ring and kissing goodbye to throwing down inside of a WWE one, it's often forgotten that the veteran worker actually briefly threw down during the Ruthless Aggression era, too.

A year on from earning that prestigious honour, Valentine suddenly found himself in an October Heat match-up with Rob Conway after a set of legends unleashed hell on the cocky heel during Raw's Homecoming show a few weeks earlier.

And The Hammer put in a decent enough showing opposite the slimy one-time La Resistance man. That was until Eugene showed up to blast Conway and cost Valentine a one-off win, something that led to a brassed off Greg shoving away a distraught Nick Dinsmore to bring the entire bizarre situation to a strange end.

Far from being the end of the road for this ageing legend, though, Valentine would go on to wrestle sporadically until 2019, clocking up a staggering near-five decades in the business!
