Jeff Hardy was a prodigious talent, who made his WWE debut way back in 1994 as a 16-year-old in a match against Razor Ramon. After a few more matches as an enhancement talent, he made his return to WWE along with his brother Matt, in 1998.

The duo had an incredible run, where they had memorable feuds against the likes of Edge and Christian, and the Dudley Boyz. After a brief run outside of WWE, Jeff returned in 2006 and won world titles in singles wrestling, before once again leaving in 2010. The Hardy Boyz returned to WWE in 2017 at WrestleMania and had another brief run before Matt left the company earlier this year.

#1 Kane

Another WWE legend who debuted way back in the 90s and who has had several gimmicks is Kane. His first gimmick was a dentist called Isaac Yankem, back in 1995, and then fake Diesel before he was repackaged as Kane.

He was a major part of the Attitude Era, feuding with The Undertaker and then tag teaming with The Phenom. Kane is a Grand Slam Champion having won numerous titles in his career, and is now a part-time Superstar in WWE. Kane, whose real name is Glenn Jacobs, is the mayor of Knox County.
