^^^ Agreed man.

I liked jamie noble back in early 2003-04, but he was way to small to get a push.

Agreed on Noble, he was given a run with CWT championship then when he lost to Hurricane it all went downhill .

Surprised no one has said Umaga. IMO one of the best monster/big men ever in WWE. He was unstoppable for a while then afterwards they simply fed him to up and coming faces.
If they opened up his character a bit Umaga could have been fucking amazing.

I was a Umaga fan, he reminded me of (depsite me being a tad bit to young to remember I have watched quite a bit of old wrestling tapes) a more agile Kamala. I think that his feud with Cena was rushed and I am not saying he could have been a world champion or anything but after he lost to Cena he seemed to always lose. Losing to Santino? are you kidding me? I think the biggest mistake with him was having him work on the mic. It wasn't so much that he talked it was how he talked, he used perfect English, not broken, savage like English that would have fit Umaga's character better.

Then again, he only talked one time and it was 2 weeks before getting fire, so it isnt as if that killed his career.

Exactly... and I'm glad they didn't have him do the broken English thing..it would have been far too gimmicky and become Funaki #2.
Also, his loss to Santino wasn't clean... it was via Lashley's interference.

Umaga's destruction came imo when he started jobbing like there was no tomorrow to Jeff Hardy. In his defeats to Cena, Lashley and Triple H it was made to be like a big deal and he was, in a way, kinda protected from it.

But then, he started losing in curtain jerkers with Jeff Hardy, getting pinned by just taking Whispers in the Wind and it all went downhill from there. His injuries kept him from being important on Smackdown. I sense he could have saw his career revitalized on the blue brand

I think one bad part of Umaga was like most monsters (Khali, Kane of old, Big Show of old) they are just built up to lose to the super face(s).

Edit- Another person came to mind: Rikishi, after he "admitted" to running over Steve Austin we was given a push and was in the 6 man hell in a cell match but after that really nothing. I thought that the WWE could have done a bit more and made him to be not necessarily a world champ but a possible legit upper-card guy.

John Morrison: Almost winning a great match against Jeff Hardy on SD he could have easily been catapulted into the m-e after jeff left. But what happens? Rey holds him back by giving him the IC title instead of Ziggler and Undertaker's return buries him even further :lac:

Shelton Benjamin (recent heel): After defeating current ECW champ Christian clean on ECW, he could have been a great contender for the ECW champ and been top heel on ECW. But what happens? He turns into an attrotious face and has mini feuds with Zack Ryder, sings hootie and the blow fish, and a unfinished feud with Sheamus :lac:

Im pretty sure I can think of more later

^^^Shelton and sheamus will finalize the feud at survivor series as they are on opposing teams.

I think charlie haas should get more ring time. I dot care if he has not character. He is better than 70% of the roster in the ring.

Haascould do a program with CM Punk. Punk calls out Haas's brother Russ for his bad demons catching up to him. They feud. Haas realizes that he needs CM Punk to not end up dead at an early age like Russ so he becomes a follower

Really?

Remember Randy Orton telling Rey that Eddie was in hell?

Anything is fair game in wrestling.

Yeah, using Eddie in Rey's push was one thing but that would be just insulting to Russ' memory and Charlie wouldn't get anything out of this. What one match were he would most likely get buried and then become his little follower? Something that doesn't fit Punk's reputation
