Pushes That You Wish Were Better Or Wish Were Sustained?

[Daddy Dom]

Curious on what pushes you guys wish were better or better booked?

Ones that comes to mind for me is the failed push of Erick Rowan on Raw, Karrion Kross, Baron Corbin (MITB run), Mojo Rawley when he got his single push, Zack Ryder on the cusp of his stardom (this one was more wish it was a little longer.) Kevin Owens (US Championship run.) Big E & Kofi Kingston World Title runs, King Woods too. Shinsuke as The Heel No Speak English one. Shayna Baszler main roster first run (by God don't ever do the vampire shit.)

Val Venis was getting over in late 1999 when he had a match with Stone Cold Steve Austin and feuded with Al Snow. By 2000, though, he was kept off Smackdown for several months.

I wish Shinsuke won the wwe title at WM 34 and had an amazing face fun as champion.

Cesaro after WrestleMania XXX. He won the Andre Battle Royal, aligned himself with Paul Heyman and was soon forgotten.

Otis after winning the briefcase. He is not the best in the ring but they could have done something and had him lose his cash instead if losing it to the Miz

It was also hilarious cause Tucker cost him the briefcase and they legit never feuded after.

Here's a weird one, but The Undertaker post return in 2004. He came back vanquishing Kane, then after spiking Paul Heyman with a tombstone we don't see him for two months until we do some weird voodoo angle with Booker T, then a really weird urn angle with the Dudley Boyz. Then we moved onto a title feud with JBL with some Heidenreich mixed in. I found it really uninspiring and struggled to get into his return to the dead until the Randy Orton feud at Mania.

I legit couldn't even remember Booker t & Taker feud.

What bout Goldust in 2018 I think after Golden Truth broke up

Corbin as Mr. MITB

Jim Neidhart as Who? Vince McMahon should've trusted his gut instinct and pushed the Who character in 1996. But, instead, he listened to that idiot Vince Russo who discouraged him from promoting Who. Another strike against Russo! WHO knows what potential Who could've had.....
