#2 Big Van Vader - Jake Carter

Strangely, the Jake Carter name has been used in WWE as The Miz's character in the Marine franchise.

Big Van Vader may sadly no longer be with us, but the superheavyweight had an incredible career before passing in 2018.

A former three-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion, Vader would also hold the IWGP Heavyweight Championship on three occasions, had two stints as the Triple Crown Heavyweight Champion in All Japan, and captured a WWF Slammy Award.

Though sadly gone, Vader's legacy lives on in Jake Carter, his son, who worked with WWE for two years. Signing in 2011, Cater would work in FCW, winning the brand's Tag gold with Corey Graves, and even had a handful of matches in 2012 as part of the relaunched NXT.

Sadly for Carter, a career in WWE wasn't meant to be and after a series of losses, was released in 2013, after losing to Tensai.
