Today we present you with - Top 10 WWE Castoffs Who Are Still Wrestling
10: Elijah Burke
Despite being largely forgettable
as a member of the revamped ECW,
Elijah Burke has certainly made a name for himself since.
Leaving McMahon’s company in November 2008
after a six-month absence from Television,
Burke would appear on the independent scene,
before joining IMPACT in 2009 as D’Angelo Dinero.
Whilst he now no longer wrestles for the company, Dinero has become
one of the company’s most recognisable stars at the commentary desk.
That’s not to say he doesn’t still compete,
as he uses the Dinero name on the independent scene
teaming with JB Cool as the tag team Cool Pimpin’.
Leaving Impact in 2017,
the future remains unclear on what Burke will do in 2019
, though at 40-years old, it may not be long
before the former amateur boxer
hangs up his boots once and for all.
9: Billy Gunn
One half of one of the most iconic tag teams in WWE history
Billy Gunn entertained millions of fans for years
as part of the New Age Outlaws.
Though the pair split for a few years,
neither man was as successful on their own,
with the company reuniting the group in 2014
for one final hurrah.
Released from the company the next year
following a failed drug test,
this setback hasn’t stopped Gunn
who has applied himself around the world,
even competing at the G1 Special last year.
Not satisfied being tied down to one promotion,
the former Intercontinental Champion has applied himself to various promotions
including Preston City Wrestling in the UK.
Still massively popular with fans
Gunn appeared at last year’s independent supershow ALL IN,
and made headlines recently
being revealed as a producer for AEW
the new promotion formed by Cody Rhodes and the Young Bucks.
8: The Head Bangers
With their colourful looks, unique lifestyle
and Marilyn Manson t-shirts,
the Headbangers appealed to a certain niche
of the WWE Universe.
A fixture of the Attitude Era,
the team of Mosh and Thrasher feuded with the
likes of the New Age Outlaws and
and the Acolytes,
briefly holding the Tag titles briefly in 1997.
Being released in separately in the early 2000s,
the pair were welcomed back over a decade later on SmackDown Live,
where they competed to become the inaugural SmackDown Tag Team Champions.
Though they didn’t make history as the first ever title holders,
the Headbangers have continued to compete on the indie scene,
facing former WWE teams such as the Spirit Squad
and Cryme Tyme in 2017.
Whilst it’s unlikely that the pair will return to the WWE anytime soon,
the Headbangers have been going strong since the pair
returned to the squared circle in 2011.
7: Shane Douglas
Shane Douglas isn’t the only ECW star on this list,
though he probably left the biggest impact with the company.
Winning the NWA World Championship world title in August 1994
Douglas would infamously throw the prestigious title to the ground
before introducing a new era of extreme for American audiences.
Despite being a huge success in ECW,
Douglas barely made an impact in the WWF,
competing originally in 1990-1991,
and later from 1995-1996
this time as Dean Douglas.
The self-proclaimed Franchise
Douglas is still quite active in wrestling,
having over half a dozen matches in 2018.
Still capable of getting a reaction from fans,
Douglas is still a truly dislikeable character
never shying away from cheating
and always having valets with him to boost his own ego.
Just this past September
Douglas defeated fellow ECW alum Masato Tanaka in Australia,
showing there’s plenty of fire left in The Franchise.
6: 2 Cold Scorpio
While many remember
2 Cold Scorpio for his time as the colourful Flash Funk
it’s hard to ignore just how much
the high flyer innovated wrestling during his tenure.
One of the most athletic Superstars of his generation
Funk paved the way for future highflyers
like the Hardyz and Evan Bourne,
though never got the recognition he deserved in WWE.
In ECW however,
, Scorpio was a legend of the Philadelphia promotion,
and still competes both in the U.S. and abroad.
Travelling everywhere from Virginia to Germany,
Scorpio is still amazing fans both new and old with his incredible skills
and has been featured in promotions such as CWE
and Battlewar,
a feat made all the more impressive at the age of 53.
5: Eugene
The character of Eugene may have been the brainchild
of the man who portrayed him Nick Dinsmore,
but there’d be no way this character would be on TV in 2018.
Joining the RAW roster in 2004,
Eugene was the nephew of General Manager Eric Bischoff,
and with an unspecified mental disability,
was portrayed as a lifelong WWE fan who emulated
the moves he’d watched as a kid.
After a long career with the company,
which did see Eugene win the World Tag Team Championships,
, Dinsmore left, and now uses the character on the indie scene.
Sharing the ring with everyone from ex-WWE Superstars
to young up and comers,
Dinsmore competes a handful of times a year,
though always draws a crowd from fans who remember him in WWE.
This past July, he even shared the ring with Lanny Poffo,
brother of the Macho Man
who’s best known for his time in WWF
as the Genius,
which must have been a true meeting of the minds.
4: Jazz
The worst part about Jazz’s WWE tenure
is that she came in at arguably the wrong time.
Whilst the powerhouse would have been a perfect fit
against current women such as Asuka
or Nia Jax,
Jazz’s brief tenure with the company came
when the focus was still very much on hiring women
based on sex appeal
than actual wrestling ability.
Quickly rising through the ranks of the division
Jazz won the Women’s Championship in 2002,
and successfully defended it at WrestleMania 18
against future Hall of Famers Trish Stratus and Lita.
Fans may have forgotten Jazz
after her brief tenure with WWE ended,
though she’s certainly kept herself busy.
The current NWA Women’s Champion
Jazz is continuing to impress fans regularly,
and recently defended the title
at the company’s 70th Anniversary show
against Penelope Ford.
3: Raven
One of the most under-rated Superstars of all time
Raven has been a success in the WWE,
WCW,
ECW
and TNA
holding titles in every promotion
as well as several smaller companies.
Joining the WWF during the InVasion,
Raven is most fondly remembered for his time in ECW,
quoting passages from Edgar Allan Poe’s famous literary work,
and forming his own flock.
Now at 54 years old,
the flock of Raven’s fans continues to expand,
as he is still lacing up his boots for smaller promotions in Canada,
as well as a few companies in the US.
Much like others on this list,
Raven has competed with some of his former foes from his heyday,
namely The Sandman,
whose feud with Raven in ECW took a very personal turn,
involving Sandman’s son.
Still a massive popular star,
Raven continues to make an impact,
and even returned to Impact not too long ago,
to help out his fellow ECW alum Tommy Dreamer.
2: Al Snow
Another superstar who has stood the test of time,
Al Snow started his career in 1982,
and still competes to this day.
Over this epic run, Snow got his big break in ECW in 1995
before joining the WWF
not during the Attitude Era,
as the deranged but loveable lunatic
whose best friend was a mannequin head.
Joining IMPACT after being released,
Snow served as an authority figure
and trainer to upcoming stars,
as well as an occasional wrestler.
Now in his mid-fifties, Snow still dons his tights,
frequently wrestling for Tommy Dreamer’s House of Hardcore promotion.
Snow even appeared in four consecutive shows
for the promotion in 2018,
facing off against fellow WWE alum Joey Mercury.
Outside the ring, Snow is the owner of Ohio Valley Wrestling,
WWE’s developmental promotion before NXT,
where he hopes to nurture and build the next generation of wrestlers.
1. X-PAC
One of just two wrestlers to be in both the nWo and DX,
the other being Shawn Michaels, Sean ‘X-Pac’ Waltman was all about making history.
Making a name for himself as the 1-2-3 Kid, X-Pac would shockingly upset
Razor Ramon during an early edition of RAW, and would have an illustrious career in WWE and WCW.
Occasionally appearing in WWE thanks to his friendship with Triple H and Shawn Michaels,
fans could wrong suspect that the former Light Heavyweight Champion is tired of the ring after all these years.
Instead, X-Pac still wrestles across the United States, dropping opponents with his infamous Bronco Buster.
Just last October, Pac teamed with fellow former nWo stablemates
Scott Norton and Buff Bagwell, proving that there’s still a lot of X-Pac fans have yet to see.
