Everyone has to start somewhere folks, and the same goes for many of the wrestling champions of the world too.

So with that in mind, let's have a look back on the often silly and pretty much always hilarious days these eventual

superstars spent dancing around like goofballs and playing security guard

within the biggest organization in the game. I am Gareth this is what culture wrestling and here are 19

WWE extras who became world champion

number 19 Claudio Castagnoli

The first of many future world champions to pop up on W.W.

Programming acting like a person qualified to protect one of the product stars,

Claudio Castiglio Casteignoli would actually first arrive in the land of sports entertainment back in 2006.

At that point the human horse was still doing his thing over in Ring of Honor, but he understandably

jumped at the chance to appear on the W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. it into frame alongside non-other than EC3. With those two future

W. W. Tallens pretending to be cops backing up Shane McMahon as he

confronted a Degeneration X who had been terrorizing his father.

Thankfully, most people remember this cringy exchange more for the Blackpool Combat Club man's

sneaky early cameo, rather than the string of inevitably dumb penis jokes

spewed by Triple H and Sean Michaels or the awkward promoting of

Vince McMahon's DVD.

But simply the segment has not aged all that well.

Number 18, Adam Cole, baby.

Another eventual Roach world champion whose journey to world title glory involved a brief

w w w w. extra appearance.

Future undisputed era and A.W. man, Adam Cole showed up in a Smackdown segment
