10 WWE superstars who had an obscure start to their careers

They say that the first impression is always the best impression. It might be right on most of the occasions but there are a lot of exceptions out there when it comes to professional wrestling.Not every superstar in the business was a star right from his debut and it required a lot of blood and sweat to climb each step of the ladder. The experience of the gruelling business did polish them into professionals but looking back might not have been a pleasant experience.  A handful of legendary names in the WWE history didn’t have the best of starts to their careers. The obscure start to the career however didn’t stop them from reaching their potential and here is a rundown on those inspiring names.  

#10 Mick Foley

Many might think that Mick Foley’s career started off in WCW, but it wasn’t the case. Foley had a lot of independent bookings before he made it to WCW and surprisingly, his debut for one of the big fishes came at WWE.

Back in 1983, Foley debuted on WWE TV tapings alongside his partner Les Thornton to face the British bulldogs. It was nothing more than a squash match for Mick but it was the real taste of WWE style for him.

He did have some more matches in the promotion before deciding to go back to the independent scene. Foley soon built up a reputation in the Indy’s and was then snatched up by WCW.
