Those wrestlers that should have been more and just ended up hardly scratching the surface of the proper success they deserved, never getting that shot at the top, just being wasted.

My pick: Owen Hart. Owen Hart sitting as a mid carder pretty much his entire career was fucking sad. How this man was never heavyweight champion in the WWF is fucking beyond me. One of the nicest guys in real life, played one of the best heels in the business. So much talent that was never given the top spot.

For those who don't know, Owen Hart was supposed to take The Game gimmick that Triple H has, but, he died before he was given the gimmick. Not sure how that would have played out, but, would have been interesting to see.

He still has a chance, but Drew McIntyre. I hate that the first time around he didn't do anything big and then ended up in 3MB (even though I liked them haha). Now he's back and WWE has another opportunity to do something good. They probably won't though :Smash:

Curtis Axel tbh. He could have been much more had he been given a chance, I think.

Good call on Eva. I'd say Kelly Kelly was wasted. She showed a lot of promise with her Expose on ECW. She should have been a much bigger star.

Braun Strowman.

Freak of nature with a decent personality. One of the few larger than life attractions on a roster full of bland, no charisma, flippy gymnasts. Should have built him up by running through Reigns and dethroning Lesnar. Instead them have him tag with a goddamn 12 year old boy at WrestleMania and jobbed him into irrelevancey.

Then they go and waste the Brock rub on fuckin’ Seth Rollins, one of the biggest geeks on the roster.

Honorable mention to Elias as well. One of the few talent that can actually work a mic and the WWE has done fuck all with him cause their too busy pushing some indy flavor of the month spot monkeys.

Christian proved in 2004/05 before leaving for TNA was one of the best heels they had and the fact they never gave him a sustained push was ridiculous.

Got a massive pop in 2011 when he finally got a world title but they immediately have him drop it and killed his momentum smh

He just needed one more match and he woulda held the title for 2 years straight :side:

That Christian/Orton feud was pretty feud awesome though. If they just continued to build him strong after that it would have been alright.
