    The Young Bucks! After they were released by TNA, Nick Jackson figured that "Young Bucks spotted backstage at WWE show" would be a good headline to build up their ROH return, so they went the next time WWE was in LA as local talent. William Regal recognized them and let them pick two other local talents to work a tryout match. The Bucks picked Scorpio Sky and Joey Ryan and worked the kind of matches they had in PWG. Regal told them to come back the next night before the Smackdown taping, and said "We've seen how well you can do spots, now let's see how you can bump", and had them work a 10 minute squash match with the Usos.

      And when their contracts were up in late 1998 the WWF held it against them even after signing them. They had something like two TV matches against the APA where Simmons & Layfield basically beat the shit out of them both times (one of many examples of Layfield being an unprofessional douchebag bully who nonetheless was constantly rewarded for it), and then they were handed their walking papers & crawled back to WCW with their tails between their legs.

Then Mark left and Dan Spivey took over and the Towers weren't the same with Spivey. And Mark got a gig as an undead undertaker, named The Undertaker, with WWE.

      And I would argue Joe's main roster run in WWE was better than he's been used so far in AEW. Hopefully that changes with the move to Collision and getting thrown into the mix with Punk, FTR, Juice & Jay White, aka guys who actually take their jobs seriously as wrestlers, and who knows he might actually help turn White & Juice into legit mainstream superstars (as opposed to being top guys in Impact, which is akin to being the tallest midget)
