Raven is truly one of the most mishandled situations WWE ever dealt with. Did nothing with someone they could have done so much with. Vader comes to mind as someone who is missing from this list. He should have gotten the push that they ended up giving to Sid.

They've got some nerve including Taylor considering they never wanted him to get over.

Anyway not a bad list, don't agree with the Bulldog because besides winning the world title I don't think he could have done much more there.

Candido and Bigelow are the two I really agree with, sad losses too.

Blitzhkrieg is a strange choice.

Mark Jindrak & Sean O’Haire - These guys as a tag team were fucking awesome in WCW and I really wish WWE would have kept them together longer.
Magnum TA - Definitely should have been bigger but it isn't on the company here. Magnumania was almost runnin' wild.
Raven - Like PHX said, terrible misuse by WWE, but he still did have really good success in ECW and WCW. The pop when he debuted in WWE was pretty awesome.
Chris Candido - Fuckin' Candido was amazing, I swear he never had a bad singles match against anyone who wasn't absolutely horrible in the ring. And he brought us Sunny.
Hakushi - meh
Mike Awesome - :( This one just makes me sad because WCW fucked him over so bad.
Blitzkrieg - Odd inclusion, don't know how much bigger he should have been but his little run in '99 was enjoyable. Don't know where WWE expected him to go though, WCW wasn't pushing him.
Bam Bam Bigelow - Just needed his world title really, dude was crazy over wherever he went and will always be remembered.
Dr. Tom Prichard - Good in the ring, but meh
Saturn - Anger issues cost him, but then we got MOPPY :lmao
Terry Taylor - Another that was great in the ring but I just couldn't see him doing that much bigger
Brad Armstrong - [MENTION=71]deezy[/MENTION] actually mentioned him in the Kofi thread, he wasn't ever going anywhere but damn was he good. Don't think he should be on the list.
Ed "The Bull" Gantner - I don't know this guy
The British Bulldog - He was big
The Sinister Minister - Why was he never given a fucking shot in WWE?

Awesome stands out to me, he was Lesnar before Brock was, young big man with the agility of a cruiser.

Big fan of Haku but theres only so far you can push someone like him.

WWE.com is being run by smarks who are not stupid enough to go for writers positions, kind of get carte blanche on the content they can write up or the wrestlers they can focus on, another reason they are reporting legit stories there as well.

But they are smarks, so they still don't know why some of these guys were never given shots or were cast aside for someone else, maybe if Candido wasn't so into the booger sugar he would've gotten past Skip. If Hakushi wasn't so damn nice he wouldn't have been eaten alive by the sharks after Bret Hart made him look like a maineventer.....TWICE.

Actually lol'd at Blitzkrieg, if they didn't let Kidman do his flippy shit, this guy had no chance.

Raven was on pills and fucked up most of his WWE run, ever wonder why he got nothing after his first few months and was left on Heat for the rest of it?

Saturn got what he wanted, he was kind of a pretty fucked up guy, and was the idea man behind Moppy and whatever weird shit he was doing.

Taylor never would have main evented especially not in the era he was WWF, but he had enough about him and if you watch him as the Taylor Made Man in WCW then I think he could have got a Rick Martel level mid-card gig easy.

I agree most on Raven & Bam Bam. Both guys were already seriously over but never got management behind them. Bam Bam was a hell of a heel & could've carried the strap for a few years.

Allot of guys just didn't have the chance in the 80's very few maineventers Intercontinental Champ was a big deal and a main event thing at the time kind of.
Plus Mc Mahon still has a thing for big guys so smaller guys had to work harder for the chance
