7 WCW Jobbers Who Became WWE World Champions

1. The Undertaker

Being a lower card wrestler in WCW clearly runs in the family, because Kane's big bro was doing it years before he was.

As "Mean" Mark Callous, The Undertaker was part of a tag team called The Skyscrapers who feuded with The Road Warriors in early 1990. The Skyscrapers became The Sky-Scrapped when Callous' partner, Dan Spivey, left WCW, so Mean Mark was left to go it alone.

Managed by Paul E. Dangerously - better known as Paul Heyman, which is a wild combination - Callous managed some success as a singles wrestler. However, his confidence in WCW manager began to falter when booker, Ole Anderson, told him that he would never draw money as a performer.

He stuck around for a little while after this remark, including a loss to Lex Luger in a US title match, before seeking pastures new in the WWF. And boy, did he find them.

Debuting at that year's Survivor Series, The Undertaker would go on to have a wrestling career like no other. His five world championships are just a small part of his astonishing career, as it's safe to say that his committment to kayfabe and outstanding matches have made Vince McMahon a lot of money over the years.

Take that, Ole Anderson.
