5 WWE jobbers who became World Champions in other promotions

#3 Christopher Daniels

... former ROH World Champion, The Fallen Angel, Christopher Daniels

Way back in 1998, when Christopher Daniels was just establishing himself as a potential star, he got a chance with the WWE and signed on to a developmental contract. What followed next was pure agony as he was jobbed out every week with no signs of improvement. It was a harsh lesson for the youngster and one that caused him to leave the company.

Over the next decade and a half though, Daniels became one of the premier talents on the indie scene. A founding father of Ring of Honor, he became a huge star for the hardcore wrestling audience with his performances at ROH and later, TNA.

He won the TNA World Heavyweight Championship but the Ring of Honor World Championship is one that had always eluded until earlier this year, at the ripe old age of 47, Daniels finally got his hands on the big one.
