How The OVW 4 Changed WWE Forever

After the departure of stars like Austin & The Rock, the WWE in the early 2000s was struggling. But then, four men arrived on the main roster from the developmental territory of Ohio Valley Wrestling and changed everything. John Cena. Randy Orton. Batista. Brock Lesnar. The OVW Four. No developmental class in the history of professional wrestling has ever produced more combined world championships, more WrestleMania main events, or more lasting impact on the company than these four men. Each of them shaped the WWE in their own unique way. Together, they built the architecture of the next chapter of modern wrestling. This is the complete story of how they did it.
