11 Biggest Underdogs In WWE History

"Yo Adrian, I did it!"

Everyone loves an underdog. They€™re the ones whom no one expects to do big things, and when they€™re thrust into challenging situations, fans think that they won€™t make it through, but they do anyway. The underdogs are the ones who people believe in to overcome all odds and win at the end of the day. They€™re the ones that have allowed wrestling fans to invest emotionally in a storyline that would see the underdog achieve the greatness that had once eluded them. This article will look at 11 wrestlers who could be described as underdogs for one reason or another. Some of these wrestlers were too small to be considered major stars, while some of them weren€™t good enough on the microphone; while others just simply didn€™t fit the Vince McMahon €˜mold€™ for what a true WWE Superstar and face of the company should look like. Despite all of those differences, however, each one of these Superstars went above and beyond what people thought they would so. Most of these Superstars reached the top of the mountain and became WWE Champion at least once. Many of these moments were among the most emotionally-satisfying moments in WWE history, as no one thought that these guys would actually win the big one. And when they did, the raw emotion felt by the wrestlers and fans alike was as real as it gets.
