#7 Rob Van Dam
Former WWE Champion Rob Van Dam is better known for his time in ECW, but there’s no denying the fact that he enjoyed a lot of attention from the fans while working for WWE.
Unlike other wrestlers in this list, RVD was not a part of the WWE backstage crew. Instead, he appeared as a member of the audience who was paid $100 for a brief segment.
Back in 1987, a 16-year-old RVD was purposely planted in the audience to facilitate a demeaning segment inside the ring. At the time, Ted DiBiase would often pay people in the audience to use them for his in-ring maneuvers.
RVD met DiBiase during the skit, "The Million Dollar Man" that was featured on the television. Following that, he was present in the audience and was called inside the ring to kiss the latter’s foot.
RVD returned to WWE in 2001 and went to win the Intercontinental Championship. He is currently signed with Impact Wrestling but appeared during the RAW Reunion episode that aired earlier this year.
