5 Wrestlers who were jobbers before they were superstars

3: Daniel Bryan

Daniel Bryan was a jobber in Memphis before become a mega star

Even one of the greatest fan favorites of all time spent time as a jobber before he became an icon on the Independent circuit and later a WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Arguably one of the smaller champions to ever wear a title, Bryan was brought along in Memphis in WWE’s affiliate promotion to learn his craft.

Although they two groups severed ties a little while after, the WWE used Bryan, first as an enhancement talent on Heat and Velocity, and then as someone who would gain longer matches on those shows, yet still lose. Bryan left the company to find success as one of the founding members of ROH and in Japan before he came back to the states and rejoined WWE. The rest as well know is history.
