#9 Samoa Joe
Samoa Joe was a talented even as a child. He was part of a Polynesian Dance Troupe with whom he made his stage debut at just 5 years of age in the 1984 Summer Olympics before graduating onto Judo and American Football through high school and college.
From there he decided to start training as a professional wrestler – working as a mortgage broker on the side to make ends meet – and made his debut in 1999 just three months after starting on his training work.
