10 WWE New Generation Era Superstars You Totally Don't Remember
6. Bob Cook
Get ready to Cook.
Admittedly, humble journeyman Bob Cook was more of a jobber to the stars in 1995, but he scores a place on this list because of his extensive work in the NWA/WCW throughout the mid-80s and into the early-90s - he wasn't some cameo artist used sparingly. Bob still has his working boots on today; his latest match happened in April 2024.
It's perhaps shocking that Vince McMahon saw Bob's surname and refrained from turning him into a chef, or something like that. One can practically hear an over-excited McMahon on commentary yelling, 'Get ready to cook with gas on Monday Night Raw!'. Of course, if someone's eating raw, then they're not interested in cooking. Just saying.
Bobby boy wrestled everyone from The 1-2-3 Kid and Bam Bam Bigelow to Lex Luger and The British Bulldog in 1995. He was booked so regularly that Cook could've been forgiven for wondering if he might bag a spot on the roster permanently.
