The WWE may be the elite in every capacity, but when they put a jockstrap on the head of poor Peter Polaco they showed that their wardrobe team can certainly swing and miss.  Polaco would have a lower card spot as Aldo Montoya, but it was in ECW where he had a gimmick that matched his skills. 

Placed in a mask in WCW and vastly misused in the WWF, the career of Jerry Lynn was thankfully salvaged by the period in between at ECW.  Lynn was a high flying hardcore superstar there, and became a natural fit in Paul Heyman’s promotion.  Still wrestling today with the same aggressive style despite being near 50, Jerry Lynn should be in someone’s Hall of Fame; too bad it likely won’t be in the WWE’s version.

We first saw D-Lo Brown in the WWE as an unnamed member of the Nation of Domination. Before long, D-Lo would appear as the workhorse of the faction and break out on his own with a series of decent singles runs. The big push that was expected for Brown never came and he was stuck in the mid-card, but D-Lo proved to be an effective hand for the WWE for years. There a few who have been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame for less.

Dave Batista got a late start in professional wrestling but he had the look and size that was coveted by the WWE and a multi-faceted personality that allowed him to excel as both a face and as a heel in during his career.
