#5 Former ECW Star Sabu
After working in Japan and Mexico's wrestling scene, Sabu inked a deal with ECW in 1995. His hardcore wrestling style helped the promotion gain popularity in the North American region and bring more revenue to the house.
Sabu gained a large following and learned a lot during his stint in the company. But like most stars, his time with Paul Heyman's company came to an end after it halted its operations in 2001. Sabu then had no choice but to decide where to continue his wrestling career. He chose TNA after he was offered a lucrative contract.

Sabu worked there for four years before his contract expired and he inked a year-long deal with WWE so he could be a part of the freshly revived brand ECW. While Sabu had a great time working for Vince McMahon's company, he never extended his contract. Sabu favored working on the indy scene over big-time promotions. However, he's not in the fighting business anymore.
Just two months ago, the 57-year-old hung up his wrestling boots after being a part of the business for three decades. While Sabu is currently finding it hard to figure out the next steps in his life, he hasn't been completely absent. The former WWE star is making regular appearances on podcasts, where he gives his opinion on the current wrestling scene. He's also occasionally done autograph signings.
