4. Ernest Miller
“Somebody call my momma,” it’s The Cat! Ernest was the karate teacher to Eric Bischoff’s son Garrett when Bischoff asked Miller to become a wrestler. Miller was popular back in the day. With the gimmick as a cocky James Brown impersonator.
The Cat never won a title and never appeared in any memorable matches. Yet WCW thought his character was worthy enough of a special celebrity appearance from soul legend James Brown. It’s because of this moment and the popularity of his character that puts Ernest Miller the highest on this list.
