10. Test
Andrew "Test" Martin debuted for the WWF in 1998 as a bodyguard for Motley Crue. He quickly rose to prominence by joining Vince McMahons Corporation stable, and later on was involved in an onscreen relationship with Stephanie McMahon. This relationship was quickly dissolved as part of the McMahon-Helmsley storyline, and Test would never be as close to the top of the card again. He remained a fairly popular fixture on television throughout the early 2000's, pairing with Albert (now Tensai) and Trish Stratus as T&A before teaming with Lance Storm and Christian as The Un-Americans, as well as a storyline which paired him with Stacy Keibler, during which he began to refer to his fans as his "Testicles".
He was released from WWE in 2004 and competed on the indie circuit before returning two years later as part of the new ECW brand. He would last just under a year before violating WWE's Wellness Policy and requesting his release again. He briefly competed in TNA before retiring in 2008 for medical reasons. On March 13th 2009, he was found dead on the balcony of his Florida home from an accidental overdose of pain medication. He would have been 34 a few days later.
