Mike Rotunda started his WWE career in 1984 as one-half of the U.S. Express tag-team, but he's better known for his time as Irwin R. Schyster (otherwise known as I.R.S.).

A mat technician, Schyster was often put into high-profile televised feuds with talent that WWE wanted to feature. Stars like Razor Ramon, The Undertaker, and Hulk Hogan all feuded with the Tax Man and had better matches because of it.

Despite being a multi-time WWE Tag Team Champion with Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase, Irwin never reached the main event but was a steady hand with a solid WWE career that lasted the better part of a decade.

Rotunda's legacy lives on today through his two sons, Bray Wyatt and Bo Dallas. Although Schyster never won a world championship and is not currently in the WWE Hall Of Fame, his legendary career speaks for itself.
