8. Jimbo Covert
https://youtu.be/ctsWk3Tl7EA?t=2m37s Super Bowl: XX WrestleMania: II Unlike Ed Too Tall Jones, Jimbo Covert actually got into the ring as part of the NFL versus WWF battle royal at WrestleMania II, competing in the 20-man event. Unfortunately, the Chicago Bears offensive tackle was the first man eliminated in the match, being tossed in less than a minute. To make matters worse, Covert was two months removed from becoming a Super Bowl champion, and the battle royal was held during the Chicago portion of Mania. Its just proof that WWF/E has had the hometown hero loses motif for a lot longer than many might have thought.
