It's hard to believe current WWE Superstar Sasha Banks would ever want to give up on her wrestling career. She has become of the company's most popular stars in recent months. But a long time ago, Banks, like many other competitors, was working on the independent circuit.

Just like the rest of the stars mentioned on this list, Banks was also trying her best to succeed. But no matter what she did, she struggled to break out in a crowded industry. For this reason, "The Boss" thought about quitting the wrestling industry and finding a new career. Banks discussed this thought with John Cena Sr. during a show in Massachusetts, and he encouraged her to persevere.

Cena Sr. also told Banks that she has a lot to offer the wrestling industry, and it would be unfair to both her and the business if she decided to quit. Fortunately, Banks listened to him, and she decided to give her childhood dream one more chance.

Banks' persistence paid off. WWE offered her a contract, and the rest is history. Eight years later, she's one of the most influential figures in the wrestling world.
