10 WCW Wrestlers You Don't Remember

5. Swoll

A former NFL player and a trainee of Brad Rheingans (who had a hand in coaching Brock Lesnar prior to him starting in WWE developmental territory OVW), Randy Thornton's career began with brief stints in the AWA and New Japan in the early 90's. 

He finally received his big break in 1999, when he got a gig with WCW thanks to his friendship with real-life friend Master P, who was then with the company as the leader of the No Limit Soldiers. 

Thornton joined the Soldiers as the group's muscle, hence the apt name of Swoll. 

The NLS primarily feuded with the West Texas Rednecks in a country music versus rap rivalry, but Swoll himself only wrestled in a handful of tag matches, including at that year's Bash at Beach pay-per-view. 

Swoll was a brawler who lacked finesse and was noted for his palm thrust finisher, but he wasn't around the long-term. After the feud with the West Texas Rednecks ended, Thornton left WCW and retired from the business. 

A born-again Christian, he has since worked as a motivational speaker and recently overcame some serious health issues.
