12 Wrestlers With Terrible Backstories
5. The Working Men
We’re going to lump a few of these men together here as they could easily take up their own separate list. As we’ve seen throughout WWE history, they pay incredibly poorly.
The men and women who fight for the company apparently need part-time jobs just to keep the dream of being a wrestler alive. We’ve seen a dentist in Isaac Yankem, Duke “The Dumpster” Droese as a garbageman, a Repo Man, a ballroom dancer and former NHL and MLB players just to name a few.
Now, these job characters are confusing for many reasons. Where did they find the time to train during their full-time job? Why did they all insist on wearing their work uniforms into a combat sport? Couldn’t Yankem still have fought and worn tights? You’d think tights and elbow pads would be easier to fight in than scrubs.
While the majority of these people didn't work out so well, you could pretty definitely say that all of their backstories are nonsense.
