* Once upon a time, there were two brothers: Brett and Brian Major. They were a tag team, standard fare...and then they teamed up with Wrestling/{{Edge}} and became Curt Hawkins and Wrestling/ZackRyder. Then they became part of La Familia, then split up, and one went to ECW. Here we focus on Wrestling/ZackRyder, who wasn't billed as 'great' to begin with. Hailing from Long Island, dressing himself as if he was a wrestler in the Wrestling/AttitudeEra, he still didn't make it. Then he created a web show in a last-ditch attempt to get noticed and not get fired. After struggling to make a name for himself on the web, garnering support from fans and other wrestlers alike, and polishing his in-ring technique to no end, he eventually got a Number One Contender's match at WWE TLC 2011 and became the new United States Champion. WOO WOO WOO. You know it.

** [[UpToEleven Taken to the next level]] by his persona as "The Fiend," which somehow manages to be DarkerAndEdgier than even the previous incarnation of Bray Wyatt. How so? After his match with [[Wrestling/FergalDevitt Finn Balor]] at ''Wrestling/SummerSlam'' 2019, Wrestling/CoreyGraves compares the Fiend to Wrestling/TheUndertaker, saying that Wyatt's ability to intimidate is on level with, if not surpassing the Deadman. To imply he may be even more intimidating than one of the greatest of all time? That says a lot about the character.

*** He was one of the last two in the Chamber match (and eliminated two competitors), put the Cobra on ''Daniel freakin' Bryan'', and seems to be getting huge pops from the crowd. There seems to be a potential push here, and his goofiness only seems to help give him a hint of CrazyAwesome.

* Jax Dane's time in the Wrestling/NationalWrestlingAlliance has been a drawn out example that looks pretty straight forward in hindsight. Houston Heavyweight Champion, unifies with the Texas Heavy Title to become Lone Star Heavyweight Champion, then becomes National Heavyweight Champion, then North American Heavyweight Champion, then becomes World Heavyweight Champion. Also, his time teaming with Wrestling/RobConway under Bruce Tharpe is simultaneously BadassDecay and Took a Level in Badass for the NWA as a whole. While NJPW used to be an NWA member who had a say but ultimately answered to its authority, the angle had the NWA at the same level as NJPW's many {{power stable}}s such as [[Wrestling/MinoruSuzuki Suzuki]]-gun, CHAOS and Wrestling/BulletClub. On the ''other hand'', it was the first time in years NWA was seriously on the Japanese national stage since ''maybe'' Wrestling/ProWrestlingZero1's short peak.
