7 WCW Jobbers Who Became WWE World Champions
2. Kane
Glenn Jacobs sure has had his fair share of gimmicks.
Isaac Yankem DDS. Fake Diesel. Doomsday. Unabomb. The Christmas Creature. But one of his least remembered phases was a blink and you'll miss it appearance on WCW Saturday Night in 1993.
As Bruiser Mastino, the future mayor of Knox County, Tennesse faced off against one of the all-time greats - the man called Sting.
The Stinger quickly dispatched of Mastino that night in Macon, Georgia, beating him with a Scorpion Deathlock in less than three minutes. After this defeat, Jacobs was gone from WCW and Bruiser Mastino was never seen or heard from again.
It was two years later that Unabomb turned up in the WWF and began cycling through the characters we listed at the beginning of this entry. Two years after that and almost five years after his loss to Sting, Jacobs made his first appearance as the character that would define his legacy - that's gotta be Kane!
As The Big Red Machine, Jacobs has won 19 different championships in WWE, as well as the Money in the Bank briefcase in 2010. He's became a Hall of Famer in 2022, joining the man who beat him in WCW all those years ago.
