JBL definitely.
I'll add a couple of others:
Rey Mysterio: I honestly thought he was too small for the role. Exciting as hell, but it'd be hard to sell him against the bigger guys. He proved me wrong.
Booker T: Before you get surprised by this one, keep in mind this: my first time seeing him was as one half of the Ebony Experience in GWF. Good Tag Team, really popular. I didn't put them on par with some of the other talents there, like Alex Porteau, Scotty Flamingo (Raven), Jerry Lynn, or the Lightning Kid (X-Pac). Time told that he was the best of the bunch, and good for him.
I may do a post on Main-Eventers I DID see coming.
