4. Monty Brown (Marcus Cor Von)
Super Bowl: XXVIII WrestleMania: XXIII As a rookie, Monty Brown played for the hapless Buffalo Bills in their last of four straight Super Bowl losses in 1994. His NFL career would end after four seasons, but he transitioned quickly over to a wrestling career. After a sting in TNA, Brown would make his way to WWE by way of ECW, debuting as Marcus Cor Von. As part of ECW, Cor Von would join the New Breed stable, a group of young upstarts who challenged the ECW Originals for superiority in the ECW brand. The feud culminated in an eight-man tag match at WrestleMania XXIII, which the originals won. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dZXoMWG-iE Sadly for Cor Von, that would be his last taste of Mania, as he would be released later that year.
