I don't care how bad Hogan and the Warrior objectively were - I marked like a six year old for that clip.

Now we know the many and varied occasions where WWE has hosed up on a wrestler that was supposedly was fool-proof and unfuckupable.

But has there been an instance of the opposite? Where WWE took someone who everybody thought was a charismaless lunk with no wrestling skill, and turned them into someone fun to watch.

Also given WCW also wasted multiple people, did they ever do the opposite.

It's not exactly what you're asking, but I'm not sure anyone who saw the promo videos for the New Day would have expected them to last six weeks, but here we are.

Very much not twins but the Killer Bees in the 80s used an early variant of Twin Magic when they were masked.

What's the biggest pop to a surprise wrestler's entrance theme? (I'm more interested in the entrance theme than the wrestler themselves)

Cena's surprise return at the Rumble a few years ago, when everyone was convinced Big Show would be #30.
