Another 10 Superstars Who Had Better Careers Outside WWE
8. Kid Kash
David Kash was a lot tougher than his 59, 202lbs. frame would suggest. Though not one of the most decorated wrestlers in ECW, he was noted for his dedication to the company. In 1996, Kash wrestled against Too Cool in the WWF and unfortunately broke both of his ankles in a botched Hurricanrana. After taking some years off to heal, he returned in 1999, only for one of the teams he was facing to break his jaw. A wrestler named Bo Dupp did an unplanned Frog Splash and broke Kashs jaw on both sides. Worse, there was a flu epidemic in Atlanta at the time, so he couldnt get the right medical treatment that he needed. Kash kept on wrestling for ECW despite getting his jaw wired shut, and never missed a show. He even drove himself from Atlanta to Birmingham, Alabama twenty four hours after getting said jaw wired shut. Many ECW wrestlers grew to respect him after that. Alas, in WWE he was not taken seriously despite these truths about him. he worked for WWE for only 1 year, winning the Cruiserweight Championship once, and then briefly teamed with Jamie Noble for a while before getting released. To many people, Kash was just another small wrestler who was immediately sent to the Cruiserweight division in the WWE. Despite his toughness and determination, no one in the WWE saw him as anything more than a cruiserweight or lower-card wrestler. Its really a shame; he had a lot of talent and a lot of guts.
