AGAINST THE ODDS | Wrestlings Greatest Underdogs
Everyone loves a good underdog story. It’s the reason that movies like Rocky, Rudy, or any of the Charlie Chaplin films have found so much success with audiences over the years. And when it comes to the world of wrestling, fans there are no different as, while we all like to see a dominating force such as a Brock Lesnar or a Hulk Hogan, there’s still something special about seeing someone have to fight their way up from underneath, succeeding in the end despite all odds being against them. But who are the best of these figures? Well, join us today as we look at them in Against The Odds: Wrestling’s Greatest Underdogs.

Thanks for watching, what should we cover in future videos? Also, make sure to drop a like to help get the video picked up by YouTube’s algorithm 💪🏻👊🏻🤘🏻
Wooo wooo wooo. You know it!
Ecw Spike looks like Chucky
Can you do the Blackpool combat Club
The Daniel Bryan one is my favorite
Eddie win over Brock at No way out was another awesome moment!
Zack Ryder is likely beloved for being underdog.
He was in WWE for a long time. From being part of Major Brother affiliating with Edge.
Tommy dreamer. Bar none.
A smart business man would have looked at what Zack Ryder did and be so impressed. Pushed himself while off the clock, sold $$$$ in mech because of this, making $$$$ for the company without them pushing him. Should have received a pay increase instead of punishment. Should have been a long term tag champ and let him carry someone without mic skills. As we enter the age of Hunter, I hope (and I think) he will do a better job.
My favourite underdog Rey Mysterio Daniel Bryan Kofi Kingston
Barry the original Jobber from my childhood
Iss kinda sick how Vince ain’t see potential in Rey till Eddie died……
Andy should do a video on Crash Holly.
Kofi was nothing more then Vince giving back to the black people lmfao he knows he buries them all and felt bad for all the years and years of the stereotypical comedic gimmicks he's giving them its the sad hard truth
Nothing about Spike Dudley was ever funny or underdog like just another pathetic excuse as a wrestler
You forgot about Cesaro
Why do you believe that WWE actually tried to stop Daniel Bryan’s momentum but when they did the same things with Koffi, it was Kayfabe roadblocks?
I was always a WWF guy, and always enjoyed Spike Dudley and Crash Holly. The hardcore guys and the tag teams that always used TL&C were always the most entertaining and skillful to watch.
I was surprised to not see the Hurricane on here though lol
Spike Dudley will forever be my favorite from this list
Bruh WM30 main event was lame because I wanted Randy to win and I don't care about Danielson or about what anyone say
Barry Horowitz is the greatest wrestler of all time
How can you work your way up in ranks when it’s a storyline & the matches are already known
Matt Cardona aka Zack Ryder found success outside WWE. Winning NWA, GCW and Impact championships. His title runs in WWE were short.
Spike was a Tag Team Champion with Tazz. You’re not good with acknowledging Title Wins.
I hope the narrator knows it's all fake
I will never understand why a company tries to bury their own product, i.e. a wrestler. Can you imagine Marvel continually shit-talking or dissuading audiences from going to see an Avengers movie? WTF.
Blonde Molly Holly was sooooo fiine! But no one talks about her. Trish & Lita got most of the attention. What a shame too.
There should be sub category of this,undersized powerhouse heavyweights; british bulldog,iron sheik, tazz,Rhyno and Kurt Angle amongst them
Rey is overrated. He’s boring on the mic, has only one card to play (underdog), always a generic babyface, same move set, no evolution or depth. They could have made him more of a HHH-type heel, someone that wins with his mind and/or manipulates others or at least had him turn heel, at least then they could have used the small guy who got tired of others having all the advantages and started cheating as a result type of angle. But no, same boring, generic character for decades.
Don't forget Spike Dudley fought Stone Cold Steve Austin for the WWE Championship in 2001

I loved those Crash Holly segments. RIP
I gotta say, in pure in ring storytelling, Spike Dudley is one of my favorite wrestlers of all time
Don't know why Crash Holly is on this list.
He was (Allegedly) Well over four hundred pounds!
Who was the other amputee they was talking about
Where are all my dogs where are all my under dogs at what’s up player haters holler at your boy little homies where are all my dogs under dogs at what what
Chris Benwah overcoming the royal rumble 2004 and wrestlemania 20 by beating hhh and Shawn, is also an underdog story also a overwhelming moments in history.
My personal favourite is Crash Holly, but i remember being happy for Barry Horowitz when he got his first win.
