Is Jinder the kayfabe GOAT come-up? From Jobber to world champ....

[MrFirst2doit]

can't think of anybody else who rose up the ranks from jobber to world champ

 

[Beautiful Bobby Eatin]

Closest thing is Mikey Whipwreck. Beat Steve Austin twice after winning it too.

 

[Berniewood Hogan]

everybody started as a jobber, dumbass

Spoiler

EXCEPT FOR ME, BROTHER! I WON THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP AFTER SPARRING WITH MATSUDA FOR TWO MINUTES, DUDE!

 

[Momentum]

JBL was APA and then top heel 3 weeks later

 

[jadden]

The Miz. Went from the real world to main event of Wrestlemania

 

[Breh Obama]

Spoiler

Roman Reigns

 

[The Rainmaker]

Mikey Whipwreck and the Miz both won titles before winning the big one. It doesn't really compare. They rose through the ranks, while Jinder skipped them completely.

 

[R=G]

Sheamus "ended" Nobles career and magically got a Ladders title match against Cena at the Dec 09 ppv

Swagger was NOTHING while Jericho was rolling and they gave him the belt

Big Show was getting overpaid and jobbing on Heat in 02 and they built him to end Lesnar's streak out of the blue

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

As a kid, not knowing Bob Backlund background and then him beating Bret Hart was as, or more ridiculous because he was just a crazy old man to me. In kayfabe, no comparison though. Maybe if Enzo wins the title, or if Iron Mike Sharpe or Jerry Lynn had won....but nah, this is goat come up.

breh

When I first saw Backlund beating Bret I was so confused. And the Crossface Chickenwing looked lethal as hell. I didn't know how to react

Arquette and Russo being champ is though in kayfabe and real life.

 

[CBoz]

I don't think anyone has done it in this short amount of time. 6 weeks before his win he was jobber to the stars.

 

[Ben Ovabich]

DDP used to be jobber for several years before he got a push in 96...

 

[d3323]

Don't forget he was a sideshow for Gronk on the preshow for wrestlemania just a month ago. This was the quickest turnaround ever.

 

[Bob Loblaw]

Pretty much everyone that cashed in MITB

 

[Tide Run This]

Nah he's top 3 it would be like WCW giving Hugh Morris the belt in 98
