10 Wrestlers You Wouldn't Believe Competed In A G1 Climax

More famous these days for allegedly requesting hand relief from referees, the Barbarian's wrestling exploits were equally as forgettable back in 1992.

Having ended his alliance with the Warlord in 1990, Barb was two years deep into a singles career which had seen him wear his antlers to the ring for one solitary WWE PPV victory in that time.

Hardly a hot property in 1992, WCW naturally made overtures when he left the WWF and pushed him as top heel throughout the summer of 1992.

With the 1992 G1 Climax also being for the vacant NWA World title, Barb was sent to the Land of the Rising Sun to compete against Shinya Hashimoto.

Fortunately NJPW hadn't taken leave of their senses and had Barb stare at the lights for the future IWGP Champion in 11 minutes no one will ever remember.

After showing zero aptitude for drawing money or crowd interest, Barb returned to WCW and was immediately plugged into a feud with Ron Simmons for the WCW Heavyweight Championship.
