Unsung Heroes: The Journeymen of Professional Wrestling photos
Back in the day, a small group of sports-entertainers were notorious for their proclivity for being on the losing end of matches, yet these unsung hereoes still had the determination to step into the ring and ply their craft. Now, take a look back at some of WWE Classics’ favorite journeymen.
"Iron" Mike Sharpe enters WWE in the early 1980s and establishes himself as a contender for Bob Backlund's WWE Title.
The legality of Sharpe's leather arm braces is often questioned by the WWE Universe.
After losing to Backlund, Sharpe is never the same.
The WWE Universe will always remember The Brooklyn Brawler, whose gruff demeanor matches his tattered ring gear.
The Brawler often finds himself looking up at the lights, save for a few special occasions.
Teaming with Kaientai, The Brooklyn Brawler picks up the biggest win of his career when he defeats Triple H.
Journeyman competitor Duane Gill ends a years-long losing streak in the late 1990s, even capturing the WWE Light Heavyweight Championship.
The wins go to Gill's head quickly, as he transforms into Gillberg, a parody of WCW star Goldberg and his impressive winning streak.
Gillberg's dazzling pyrotechnic display reflected his in-ring exploits.
The Conquistadors make their way from "Somewhere in Latin America" to WWE in the 1980s.
The masked men try to gain every advantage in their bouts, but are felled by the dominant teams of the era.
It seems as though the golden warriors are returning to WWE in 2000, but it turns out that Edge & Christian co-opted their costumes to trick opponents.
