From a totally unsurprising name to one that might indeed turn a few heads. There was an entire generation of WWE superstars who came through in the mid to late 2000s that the company were extremely reluctant to pull the trigger on, and arguably the biggest lost star of all of these was Mr. Kennedy. The man didn't help himself however, with injuries and suspensions getting in the way.

Little is known about his tenure, but Kennedy actually served in the US Army before starting his professional wrestling career. Well, almost anyway. Kennedy was enlisted as a US Army reservist before catching the wrestling bug thanks to Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Kennedy also worked as a security guard in a nuclear power plant for a while. As far as high-risk jobs go, I can't think of many more than that.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
