8 Wrestling Megastars That Started As Backyarders

There exists such a purity and passion behind the the Trampoline/Teens Wrestling Federation that later morphed into OMEGA (Organisation of Modern Extreme Grappling Arts) as the duo worked diligently as jobbers to earn a full time living with WWE. Having discovered the product in 1988 thanks to WrestleMania 4, the pair grew up as superfans dreaming only of becoming superstars.
The graft paid off rather rapidly after absorbing impressively bruising squashes on television, though the pair's bump cards were already heavily stamped by the time they took to falling off enormous ladders on grandest stages.
