#10 Zack Ryder (2005)
Zack Ryder has appeared sporadically on WWE television for the last 11 years but his association with the company actually goes back to 2005, when he competed as Brett Matthews in a squash match against Matt Morgan.
Morgan, making his first in-ring appearance in over a year, was paranoid that Ryder was laughing at his speech impediment and took his frustration out on the rookie with a series of power moves.
Ryder barely got any offence in and was defeated after just 78 seconds when Morgan drove him into the mat for the 1-2-3 after a twisted vertical suplex.
