#9 Jim Neidhart

Jim Neidhart was a part of one of the greatest tag teams of all time, along with his brother - in - law, Bret Hart. Jim and Bret revolutionised the tag team division, and along with The Rockers, breathed new life into the mundane and monotonous division.

However, Neidhart did not grow up dreaming about becoming a professional wrestler unlike Bret. Jim played shot put in high school, and wanted to become a footballer. He played practice and preseason games with the Oakland Raiders and Dallas Cowboys after graduation, but when that didn’t work out the way he wanted, he decided to try his hand in wrestling.

Needless to say, he instantly found his place among the wrestlers and went on to become one half of one of the greatest tag teams in WWE history.
