#8 Justin Credible

Justin Credible only found success in the Hardcore division

The next ECW original on our list is Justin Credible. Despite his success in ECW, his run in WWE saw him mostly staring at the lights for bigger stars.

However, Justin Credible did have a lot of success in WWE's Hardcore division, winning the Hardcore Championship a staggering 8 times. Credible won his first Hardcore Championship at a house show in Scotland in May 2002 from Shawn Stasiak, who also appears on this list. The last of his 8 title wins came later the same year in July at another house show.

#7 Terri Runnels

Terri Runnels first debuted as Goldust's valet

Terri Runnels made her WWE debut in 1996 as the manager of her then-husband Goldust aka Dustin Rhodes. Although never much of a wrestler, Terri did win the Hardcore Championship which she held onto for less than 30 seconds.

Terri pinned Steven Richards on an episode of RAW from Red Deer, Alberta in 2001 while the latter was giving an interview. Richards pinned Terri immediately afterwards to win back the title.
