6. Sheamus

Before he became the Celtic Warrior that we all knew, Sheamus had tried out several times for WWE prior to signing in 2006. In an interview with Stuff, he gave advice to those who were thinking about trying for professional wrestling. He discussed his rejection and took it as a good thing. He kept coming back for tryouts and in the meantime he polished his skills with each dismissal. Sheamus had also worked in backstage segments as a security guard before his time in WWE, and all of that paid off. Sheamus has had a successful career, with a list of accomplishments to show for it.
