10 WWE Mid-Carders Who Never Get The Credit They Deserve

Turning himself from overweight security for the Nation Of Domination into one of the WWF's best mid-card talents, former European and Intercontinental Champion D'Lo Brown was one of the most over men on the roster during the peak of the 'Attitude Era'.

D'Lo's run in the promotion was surprisingly brief, and he would only last from 1997 until 2003 as a full-time roster member. The relatively short nature of his core stint in WWE shouldn't hide the fact he was one of the most consistently entertaining performers on television and an overlooked workhorse between the ropes.

After helping revitalise the fading Nation gimmick in 1998, the enterprising heel was then a complete riot as European Champion. Claiming to be from various places around the continent (including Helsinki, Finland and Warsaw, Poland), he delivered on the mic and in the ring, even leading Mark Henry through many matches as a tag-team.

Brown must be considered an unsung hero of WWE's most financially successful era, because he rarely receives plaudits for his work.
