8. Diamond Dallas Page

Starting out life in the wrestling business as a manager and colour commentator, a Diamond Dallas Page who had been working for the AWA and FCW eventually ended up being given a tryout for an announcer role in the WWF.

It wouldn't lead to a job in the end, but Page still appeared at that year's WrestleMania VI.

Instead of being stood with a mic in hand, the man who would one day become WCW World Heavyweight Champion was plonked behind a pink Cadillac that night, driving Rhythm and Blues themselves, The Honky Tonk Man and Greg Valentine, to the ring for their eventual interaction with The Bushwackers.

And this would turn out to be his last WWF appearance for a decade, with DDP going on to become the adored 'People's Champion' in WCW in the years that followed this brief Cadillac cameo.
