18. Billy Kidman

The legacy of Billy Kidman is rather ironic; a very good and eye-catching performer in his day, his size and blandness was used by Hulk Hogan to drive their WCW programme. As a talent, he was everything WWE either weren't interested in or actively buried.

And yet, after years spent in the old WWE Cruiserweight division, where he worked hard in thankless, very regulated matches, he became the regulator. After returning to the company as a trainer in Florida Championship Wrestling in 2008, his instincts for training and layouts were rewarded with a formal main roster Producer's gig in 2010.

He now holds significant influence over the direction of a product that had little regard for him in a high-ranking role.
