Ciampa praising WWE for what they did with him back in 2005 warmed me up emotionally. I couldn't help but smile when I heard his story from a somewhat forgotten moment of the ruthless aggression era.

While it would have some carry over from this list, you could really make a video all about "Future WWE Stars Who Competed During the Attitude Era" by including things like dark matches, Heat, Jakked, & Metal. If I remember correctly, that would also include the likes of Brock Lesnar, Shelton Benjamin, John Cena, & (if you include the rest of 2001) even Randy Orton. It really can be surprising to remember just how long some people have truly been in the industry.

@MrBam79 Жыл бұрын

I guess that might be because, from a kayfabe point of view, Kane and Isaac Yankem are considered to be two completely separate wrestlers. So WWE don't deny/ignore Yankem making his debut when he did, they just ignore the fact it was Jacobs playing him. That said, by that criteria, Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa probably shouldn't be on the list either, so probably a bit of a grey area. 🤔
