#7 Brakkus

Remember Brakkus? Of course you don't.

Achim Albrecht was a former bodybuilder and Mr. Universe who was part of Joe Weider's body building promotion before making the transition to pro wrestling.

Brakkus stood at six feet tall and weighed over three hundred pounds, and was certainly imposing in the ring. However, he made the transition to pro wrestling later in his life and was no where near his physical prime.

He wasn't a bad in ring performer, but neither was he a good one. In an attempt to get him over, he was put in the Brawl for it All shoot tournament, where he was defeated on points by a much smaller man, perennial jobber to the stars Savio Vega. Vega would later claim that Brakkus was unaware the Brawl for All was not a worked match until after the first round, which is why he was defeated.

Brakkus was sent to ECW during a period when that promotion exchanged talent with the WWE, but an injury would force his early retirement.

Why no one remembers him: With no title victories, no memorable feuds, and a limited and short career, it's no wonder Brakkus is a mere footnote to wrestling history.
