4. Vader
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1ul5q_dusty-rhodes-vader-vs-harris-brothe_sport Vaders time in the WWF was pretty forgettable, but it was like Steve Austins run in the Attitude Era compared to his time in TNA. Vader was a powerhouse in WCW, who could move around the ring like a man half his size. By the time McMahon hired him, he put on a few pounds...then put on a few more, and a few more. By the time Jeff Jarrett hired him, he was huge, and not in an intimidating way. He just looked out of shape, and seemed better suited for a donut shop than a wrestling ring. In February of 2003, Vader joined up with Dusty Rhodes in TNA to battle the evil Harris Brother twins. Because apparently you need two of the all-time greats to stop Skull and 8-Ball. The match went about seven minutes with some Bionic Elbows dished out and a Vader Bomb on Sonny Siaki for good measure. And after that? Well, that was pretty much it. The week after Vader left the company, TNA got younger, hipper and more compelling when they brought in DLo Brown. It's time! It's time! It's D'Lo time!

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
