#4 Road Dogg

“Oh you didn’t know? You better call somebody!”

Road Dogg is mostly known for his time in WWE as part of the New Age Outlaws and D-Genration X. During the the Attitude Era, the groups were popular yet controversial.

Road Dogg made his wrestling debut in 1986 following the path of his father Bob Armstrong who was also a wrestler. Pro wrestling wasn't the only profession he followed his father to. Like Mr. Armstrong, Road Dogg served in the U.S. Marine Corps, putting his wrestling career on hold.

The veteran currently works as a backstage producer and writer in WWE. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2019 as a member of D-Generation X.
