In theory, this character change actually took place down in NXT, but such was the drastic and catastrophic nature of the change that it had to be included on this list.

Before he was a conga line leading jobber, Rose wrestled down in NXT as Leo Kruger and was a regular on the NXT Championship scene. He had also had a successful run down in FCW before NXT came to be, winning the FCW Championship on two occasions.

Sadly, it was the Adam Rose character that the company decided to call up to the main roster after WrestleMania XXX, and despite clearly being talented in the ring, Rose quickly become a comedy act who did nothing but put other performers over.

After briefly appearing as a member of The Social Outcasts alongside several other jobbers, Rose was released from his WWE contract in 2016, a little less than two years after making his main roster debut.
