Wrestlers you never knew worked the indies?

That reminds me of when Jeff Hardy had a singles match there in the short time between WWE and the first TNA run, the fans relentlessly booed and took the piss out of him. I think he took a huge chunk of time off after the match.

if you were around at the time you'll probably remember it, but Eddie Guerrero was fired from the WWE in 2001 and ended up working all sorts of dirty indies in the 2 years before he ended up back there.

Here's Guerrero wrestling CM Punk & an unmasked pre-WWE Rey Mysterio in a Triple Threat match in IWA Mid South. Crazy to look back at such a dream match scenario take place in such rotten surroundings (no pun intended)

Eddie turned up in the UK for that Revival show on Bravo in 2002 as well.

He’s such a product of WWE that seeing The Miz in anything other than a WWE ring always looks weird. Here he is wrestling on the independents before Tough Enough.

Think he got the dreaded "don't come back" chant.

Didn't Jeff Hardy work ROH twice? Once under that stupid Willo the Wisp gimmick he used to do in his backyard fed?

Him and Matt came in years later in the months before the surprise WrestleMania showing.

Brian Christopher tried to talk him into getting back on the pills during that show, if the sleaze thread is to be believed. 

I also never knew Newman from Seinfeld was over for that show too.

But prior to his WWE run, he was wrestling and training with WxWimage.jpeg.b51b0dadc565a1ae95b6601ac3cc0606.jpeg

It looks like Konnan disguised himself as an 80s nerd.
