Remember what a hit the old game was? Well, here's a good brain teaser. How many wrestlers can we name who have been in all 4 of the "major" companies in the U.S. in the past decade?
By "major companies," I of course mean WWF/E, WCW, The original independant ECW, and TNA. New WWE-owned ECW doesn't count, because it's not a separate entity. Same thing with the "Invasion" WCW.
Or, for a larger list, how many can we name who have been in at least three?
Here's the rules; they have to have used the same basic gimmick and/or name in every company, and they have to have been involved with at least one match in the company. For example, you couldn't say that Kurt Angle was in ECW, because he just made an appearance and wasn't even on camera, much less involved in a match.
I'll get things started with a personal favorite; Raven. He used the name originally in ECW, took the same moniker and gimmick to WCW and back, then to WWF, and has peridically appeared in TNA in recent years. Sure, it's undergone minor tweaks here and there, but it's the same basic gimmick today that it was when he and Paul Heyman cooked it up way back in the 90s.

I don't recall Rhino being the WCW US Champion, but if he was it was during the InVasion, thus not counting in accordance with the rules I stated at the begining.
Here's one that'll surprise; Scott Hall.
