This Is a Pay-Per-View Worthy Main Event?

The WWE’s next big pay-per-view, Royal Rumble, has some pretty big names at the top of the card. In addition to the Rumble match, which includes Brock Lesnar and Goldberg, the two title matches involve Kevin Owens, Roman Reigns, John Cena, and AJ Styles. However, not all events have such a remarkable main event. This WWE list can attest to that.

This video brings you five surprising main eventers from WWE history. You know, the guys who show up in a big match that make you scratch your head, both then and, especially, now. This is a list that reminds you The Spirit Squad, those wrestling cheerleaders, once main evented against DX back in the day.

Yes, The Spirit Squad, a group so largely dismissed by the WWE that a couple of its members were brought back by The Miz just to rankle Dolph Ziggler. On the other hand, Farooq Asad is also included in this list, which is more debatable. Farooq, aka Ron Simmons, had quite a successful career, and was a WCW champion once. Is it really fair to consider a WWE Hall of Famer a surprise main eventer? Nevertheless, the video is a nice reminder of the strange, circuitous road the world of pro wrestling can take.
