7 WWE Superstars Who Defied The Odds of 'Making It'

These guys had a dream and worked to achieve it

We have all heard the stories over time when famous people succeed or win awards.  One of the things they say the most is that they were often told that ‘they would never make it’.  It’s a line that is used in every workplace, every career, and even every dream job.  People utter those words in hopes that it discourages the person.  But for some people its motivation to prove them wrong.

And in WWE that is no different.  From the Independents to WWE, many wrestlers over time get told that very same line.  Some get little to no opportunity, thus they take it into their own hands.  Others keep trying until they get their foot in the door.  While maybe their character or gimmick would never make it in a promoter’s eyes, the Superstars see that as the opportunity to be even greater.  They worked harder and found ways to get to the top.  It worked out for them and here are some examples of that.
