10 forgotten wrestlers of WWE's New Generation Era

Could Al Snow and the enigmatic Avitar be the same person? Head's lips are sealed but if the costume fits...

#7 Duke "the Dumpster" Droese

Garbage man turned wrestler? Why didn't this gimmick take Duke to Wrestlemania's main event?

This one is so awful, yet so forgettable; Duke Droese had good size and decent skills, but he wasn't muscular enough for Vince McMahon. Vince decided that Duke resembled someone who works for the sanitation department, and the gimmick was born.

Despite the fact that Lord Alfred Hayes loved saying the name, Duke didn't make much impact and is rarely mentioned today.
