10 WWE Jobbers Who Became Wrestling GAME-CHANGERS
8. Justin Credible
Imagine being a jobber called PJ Walker, who lost to such luminaries as Thurman 'Sparky' Plugg and Bastion Booger on the regular, then finding out that you were about to get your biggest break yet. By wearing what looked like a jock strap on your head/face as you were re-dubbed Aldo Montoya, the world's most impressive Portuguese footballer.
Or whatever he was supposed to be originally. The WWF dropped that soccer idea pronto, and Aldo became the 'Portuguese Man-O-War'. Was he a jellyfish? Would he win all of his matches by stinging everyone like a watery mass of nettles and pain? Actually, that would've been cooler than the outfit poor Montoya had to sport every other week.
By 1997, Aldo was pig sick of being crap and decided to join up with Paul Heyman's ECW revolution pulling the graveyard shift on syndicated TV. It proved to be a wise decision, because Paul E did his usual - he accentuated the positives of a performer, hid their weaknesses and turned the revamped Justin Credit (in spite of that corny name) into an ECW World Champion.
Credible was there when ECW hit national television for the first time via TNN. He was there for some of the company's best pay-per-view moments, and he was there when Heyman's outfit bit the dust and anybody of any value went scurrying off to the WWF.
There, things didn't work out for Justin yet again, but at least he'd shown he could be an industry game-changer over in the now-defunct ECW. Using Prong's catchy 'Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck' track as entrance music helped.
