 What's good y'all it's your boy Ross back again with another video So I'm gonna check out 10 WWE wrestlers who made their debut earlier than WWE told you now There's been times where wrestlers will have debuted as another gimmick or maybe even Enhancement talent and you didn't really know or paid attention and then they repackaged them into something else And then they you know either it works out for him or it doesn't or even in some situations You get repackaged again So we're gonna check out some of these moments where you know wrestlers had debuted and you didn't know who they were until they repackaged them again And then they became a little bit more Noticeable and more famous when it comes to their in-ring character and development So we're gonna check this out. Appreciate all the love and support should be a good one. Let's get right into this thing A superstar's debut is one of the most important moments of their career Unless the WWE fans know what to expect out of a certain character and they'll remember their debut for years to come When WWE presents a brand new superstar and television and claims it's their in-ring debut This actually always is in the case It's common practice for wrestlers to debut in an unofficial capacity on smaller shows or even in different roles And WWE prefers to not acknowledge this type of company. That was Ty Dillinger The guy that got super kicked by Shawn Michaels when he was on his superkick rampage in the back That was Ty Dillinger. I did whoa, whoa, whoa That was a let's funny a segment official capacity on smaller shows or even in different roles Bro, he prefers to not acknowledge this time period in the company But which times were they will join us now is WrestleMania looks at 10 Stars who actually debuted before their official debut Wow, I never knew that. I just remembered just the segment being so hilarious Follow us on Facebook Number 10 Robert rude a Robert rude has made his official WWE debut back in 2016 and since his debut rude has made moderate success in WWE having won the NXT US and Tank titles However, what fans often forgot about is that rude actually appeared in WWE 15 years prior Wow in the years of 2001 and 2004 rude appeared on a number of shows such as jacked metal and heat and his main role Was that of an enhancement talent? Also featured as a police officer during the segment to the bill towards the undertaker and Triple H at WrestleMania 17 Over a decade before we would have a working relationship with Triple H himself Number nine Samoa Joe along before Samoa Joe was choking out people in TNA He actually appeared in WWE. What that was when it was the WWF. Yeah, that's right Joe appeared on WWE television over 20 years ago In February of 2001 in a match against essay reels on jacked and Joe actually put him over Joe would notably sport a completely different look for the match and from winning the match Joe wasn't ready to be a big star yet. He eventually debuted in WWE 14 years later But it's always fun to look back at his unofficial WWE debut just to see how much a lot of these I'm gonna be totally surprised by champion has changed Number eight MVP one certain segment on Smackdown in 2005 featured the unofficial debuts of two future WWE stars The segment was a Kurt Angle Invitational and his opponent for this would be none other than future undisputed about Roderick Strong This was Strong's first-ever appearance on television and he actually wouldn't appear again on television till over a decade later The other superstar was MVP who is playing the role of a police officer in the segment The police officers were there to protect Angle's gold medals as a valuable commodity that needed protection MVP would debut just over a year later on television as a completely different character But this was the future US champions first time in the WWE spotlights This is cool video number seven Dean Ambrose a WWE site Dean Ambrose's official debut as taking place at the 2012 Survivor Series alongside Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins as the shield However, this isn't actually the case between the years of 2006 and 2007 Ambrose made appearances on television as an enhancement talent 2006 when Ambrose teamed with Brad Taylor to take on Eminem in a match Two matches included a handicap match against the big show which he naturally lost and a match against Crazy for the match with Venus Ambrose dyed his hair pink Which certainly made him stand out amongst the crowd, but not necessarily for the right reasons Ambrose also made an appearance as a true dream At the end of 2006 Royal Rumble seven years before the two would be facing off on SmackDown Number six Daniel Bryan Daniel Bryan is widely regarded as being one of the most popular stars of the modern era in WWE his in-ring style and character truly resonated with fans and this all started when he debuted in NXT back in 2010 although WWE likes to claim that Bryan officially debuted in 2010 This isn't actually true as Bryan has his first match on WWE TV a decade prior In 2000 Bryan was signed to a WWE development deal They saw him wrestle a number of dark matches as well as wrestle on shows such as Velocity Bryan's first ever official match in WWE was a dark tank team match in early 2000 And they saw Bryan team would shoot a shaltz to take on the duo Bryan Kendrick and Lance Cade Brian would detail this time in his autobiography and according to him There were plans to calling up to the main roster in 2001 to be part of the cruiserweight division But this never materialized Number five Johnny Gargano was crazy about this Is maybe it's a good thing it didn't happen because there's a good chance we probably wouldn't have gotten a yes movement It's crazy how things happen for a reason Just when you think is you know, it's bad luck or you didn't get the Position you wanted then something else opens up for you And now you have a greater position that you didn't even think was possible, you know, so that's that's so bro this video I'm loving videos like this that Surprised me. You think you know so much about the wrestling world and what's happened in the past and then you get Get info info dumps like this where you're like, oh man, this is pretty cool I never knew this and this is coming from someone that's been a fan of wrestling for a very long time a lot of this I did not know so this whole list is damn shocking to me Before Johnny Gargano was receiving five-star ratings Meltzer Into the WWE by having tryout matches as well as making random and bizarre appearances on WWE television on the March 23rd 2007 edition of SmackDown Gargano appeared as a champion of Lichtenstein Cedric von Housen Imagine a losing effort against MVP. He also appeared as a security guard in NXT in 2010 And he would also wrestle a year later on superstars Joey Gray match against Brody's clay It's never really explained why WWE decided not to sign the talented Gargano to a contract in WWE still had reservations regarding smaller independent wrestlers being signed But that was until the likes of CM Punkham Daniel Bryan became major players in the company number four Tomasso Ciampa NXT champion Tomasso Ciampa perhaps one of the most infamous unofficial Appeared on screen in the summer 2005 portraying a character known as Thomas Whitney Whitney would act as one of Muhammad Hassan's lawyers and at the time of the segment taking place Hassan was in the midst of a feud with the Undertaker Yeah, the segment concluded with Ciampa being tombstone by the Undertaker in a truly memorable first appearance for the WWE star During a 2019 interview with CBS Sports State of Combat podcast Ciampa would discuss in detail his first ever WWE appearance stated so I rehearsed that script in front of everybody It's solo in front of Vince in his office. I didn't ring with Undertaker Vince and Hunter was there looking back now I see how big of a deal it wasn't just how crazy it was to have that one-on-one time with everybody as a kid on the independence It was wild. Everybody treated me incredibly well I remember they didn't like the suit that I had on so they went and bought me a suit and let me keep it This appearance alongside the Undertaker actually wasn't Ciampa's only time appearing in WWE before his official debut in 2015 would also wrestle in late 2005 against Jamie Noble on Velocity in the summer of 2006 He would team with future WWE champion Kofi Kingston to take on Lance and Trevor Murdock in a dark match number three AJ Styles and when AJ Styles finally signed a WWE contract in 2016 it was seen as a long time coming as AJ was initially offered a contract back in 2002 Before he joined TNA. He made a number of appearances for WWE and the first of these was in July of 2001 where he had a tryout match before Raw against his trainer Rick Michaels the second match of AJ's WWE career came in 2002 when he wrestled a hurricane on metal and this would then be followed up with another dark match against Rico The matches against the hurricane and Rico were impressive enough for AJ to be offered a WWE developmental deal AJ smartly turned down the deal as it would have to relocate and it wasn't willing to make that big of a sacrifice at a pivotal time in his career Number two and you know what? I think it worked out for him in the best him going to TNA Building up his name there was the best move for him You know doing doing his thing in the independent and being being on that TNA was the best move for him once again, like I said earlier in this video is crazy how certain things happen and It actually works out for you if I think you may not think about it But it like when it's when it's when you're actually in the process of something happening Well, like maybe you're not getting the the contract from WWE and then you end up going somewhere else Making a name for yourself and then they ask you to come back and they paying you the big bucks. It's pretty cool This is pretty damn cool Kurt Angle by WWE is a habit of rewriting their own established history This is what happened with the 1999 debut of Kurt Angle for the past two decades WWE have been telling fans that angle burst onto the scene at the 1999 Survivor Series pay-per-view This simply isn't true angle actually made his first appearance on WWE television in March of 1999 on an episode of heat Angle was involved in a segment with the villainous Tiger Ali sink who is trying to pay money for angle to blow his nose on the American flag instead angle blew his nose on Ali's flag and proceeded a brawl with the Forgotten Star he would also rest on a number of house shows as well as appearing at live events throughout the summer of 1999 They consequently decided to tweak the presentation of angle and when he officially debuted in November of 1999 they decided to present the Olympic gold medalist as a heel moving forward and Obviously they did that to kind of gauge the audience reaction. They'll usually debut somebody on a house show because back then People didn't like you know the house shows weren't they're not televised people weren't you know They would take pictures, but this is like before the internet was like really popular like that So people weren't really saying too much about house shows You have to be there to kind of be there to see some of the stuff So that he would do they would do that in a sense to kind of get the feel of how the crowd would feel with this Talent or have them do dark matches or whatnot and then after that they'll either tweak it or be like now We're not gonna go with you or maybe they'll give a contract and that's kind of what they did here and number one of the undertaker This is the under taker's debut of the 1990 survival series is the perfect wrestling debut It presents the Undertaker's mortician character in the right manner and it indicated to the audience that it needed to take this brand new Character and gimmick very seriously, but although the official debut of the Deadman was truly fantastic It actually wasn't the first time that take a wrestled on television He actually debuted a few days prior on an episode of WWE Superstars in a victory over Mario Mancini Interestingly the undertaker also had a slightly different name as he would be known as came the undertaker Whoa, I didn't know that decided to remove the cane aspect of his name And this would obviously be used seven years later when the undertaker's demonic half-brother entered the WWE. I Did not know that but they have it folks I'm thinking of him being what he was before he came with the Undertaker gimmick And you know how you know people were like you'll never succeed or whatnot. That's what I was thinking of but that's This is this video man. This is a straight straight thumbs up man straight thumbs up for me I enjoyed this video. I like videos like this where they're ever to surprise me on Facts that I didn't even know about a lot all of this this entire list Did not even know that they were you know at one point in the company and just seeing how they looked then Compared to now is this is pretty pretty incredible incredible.
