1. Triple H
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ik7KWsns24A Armed with probably one of the worst names in wrestling history, Terra Ryzing debuted on World Championship Wrestling television with a blonde, Ric Flair style haircut and a moveset that looked like a first-year wrestling student. Trained by Killer Kowalski and a lifelong fan of wrestling, the future Triple H certainly had the drive to succeed in the business but not the situation. WCW changed Terra's name to Jean-Paul Lévesque in 1994, portraying him as an evil French wrestler. The problem was that Paul couldn't actually speak French so WCW had him speak with a terrible French accent that fooled absolutely no one. Triple H actually wrestled on WCW's bigggest show of the year, Starrcade, in 1994 and jobbed to equally bad wrestler Alex Wright. Soon after, Levesque was paired with Lord Steven Regal since they both were foreign (allegedly) and spoke with accents, so therefore they were evil in WCW. The tag team lost most of the matches they participated in before Triple H had enough and moved on to the WWF. Showing that Vince McMahon doesn't learn from the mistakes of others, Levesque was given the gimmick of a Connecticut blue blood who looked down on all the "commoners" in the audience. Jobbing to Duke "The Dumpster" Droese (a wrestling garbageman) led to a feud with wrestling pig farmer Henry O. Godwinn, or H.O.G. (get it?), that did absolutely nothing for Triple H's career. It wasn't until Levesque began calling himself Triple H and paired himself with Shawn Michaels that Hunter's career finally took off. Of course, now he's in line to take over WWE when Vince McMahon finally retires (if that ever happens), so maybe all the jobbing was worth it.
