What makes professional wrestling the most unique of industries is that all of the employees are at-will hires who are contracted to literally perform whatever task demanded of them by the company in which they work.

As well, you could also be a gimmicked wrestler like WCW's Ding Dongs tag team or "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry, and be known for providing some fairly terrible lowlights of wrestling history. However, this list chronicles neither of those things.
