7. Ernie Holmes
https://youtu.be/ctsWk3Tl7EA?t=2m37s Super Bowls: IX, X WrestleMania: II Former Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle Ernie Holmes won two Super Bowls in the 1970s and had retired long before WrestleMania II rolled around, but that didnt stop him from stepping inside the ring with five fellow players. Holmes faired only slightly better than Jimbo Covert, lasting about two minutes before he was tossed from the battle royal. The only saving grace for Holmes is that he was eliminated by legendary WWE Hall of Famer Bruno Sammartino.
