Who do you think should of made it in the WWE but didn't

[tripleddd]

Firstly i don't know if I'm in the right section but I'll plow on - i was thinking of wrestlers who were in the WWE but never quite made it and wonder why ?
Mr Kennedy - great mic skills ok wrestler - yes injury prone
MVP - just seemed to get pushed further down the show
Chris Masters - had the look but ....
These three should all have been in the main events and title holders - so who was responsible for their lack of climbing to the top

MVP and Mr. Kennedy are doing well without the WWE. I think this goes to Shelton Benjamin. One of the best wrestlers to ever walk into the WWE but they never did too much with him. It's tragic.

 

[Dyscord]

Kennedy got fired mostly because of Orton bitching his ass off. I never got the WWE's lack of use for MVP and Masters though.

 

[Strife543]

MVP is having great success in NJPW
Benjamin is ROH tag team champion with Haas
MR Kennedy is having success in TNA
these guys could have been huge in the WWE , they really screwed them over and I heard that MVP may return to the wwe

I don't know if you can consider if these guys made it or not, because they won titles, but never quite made the main event scene, and in my opinion they deserved it, i'm talking about Test and the British Bulldog, Test definitly had the look, and he had the talent, he was good on the mic, but he never won the main title, and necer was in a main event feud, except in ECW when he feuded with Bobby Lashley, but it looked like he was only in it to job for Lashley, and the Bulldog deserved to be main event but, like i said, never quite made it........

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Sean O'Haire in his Devil's Advocate gimmick had it made if they had just stuck with it. He had one bad promo live, then they stuck him with Roddy Piper and made him Piper's errand-boy and that was the end.

Easy, Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin

Now, i'll say Mr. Kennedy and MVP should have made it, but they haven't been bust without the WWE

Lashley got a pretty good push w/o the WHC or WWE title (Don't even consider ECW a big deal)

but WWE dropped the ball with Benjamin completley

Raven!!!

He is the TRUE Cerebral Assassian, just ask The Sandman. He is one of the few guys to come out of ECW that was worth a damn. Great in the ring, great on the mic, and a true mind for the buiness. Watch any of his old promos and matches from ECW, WCW and TNA ('03-'05) and you can clearly see that Vince dropped tha ball on him. Rumor is Vince never liked him because he used to "party" with Shane back in his Johnny Polo days. He should have done 10 years ago, what CM Punk is doing today.

 

[Rockyfolifebo!!!]

Automatically, 3 guys come to mind: Test, Rene Dupree, and Billy Gunn.

Test - Test had the look first of all. He had that "body builder" look that Vince likes so much. Not only that, but the guy was pretty good in the ring.

Dupree - This guy had it all. He had a gimmick, the look, he was young, and pretty decent in the ring. Given more time, I could see him taking on guys in the main event scene.

Billy Gunn - former member of one of the greatest tag teams of all time, Billy was held back. He was truly a gift to the ring, he went in their and put in work against guys like Rock and even his partner the Road Dogg. I just hate that he was wasted doing mid-card work practically his whole career. The guy should have had at least ONE title run. He had the look, decent mic skills, and an awesome in-ring presence. Sad that Vince or even TNA didn't use him properly.

I think this is a great topic. I really disagree with MVP, Shelton Benjamin, and Chris Masters and especially Sandman. I don't think those guys had the overall appeal to be big stars. They were lucky to have lived their dream in WWE and probably made pretty damn good money.

I think that Adam Bomb had a great look and finisher. I think he had a lot of potential if he was given a better gimmick. Same goes for the Warlord. Both guys looked great.

 

[Alex Lexington]

BILLY GUNN. the guy was my hero and to see him being released because creative had nothing for him is bullshit, look TNA had a few years of storylines for him and they were pretty good the man is in better shape and can work better than most of the current WWE roster i mean wtf seriously. I know we will see him again in WWE before he retires

 

[thebarber]

well Kennedy and MVP clearly did make it in the WWE. Now they are even bigger stars elsewhere because of the exposure and rub they got from being in WWE. Not everybody holds the World Title. To answer this question properly, a guy like Shane Douglas comes to mind. His first WWE run in late 1990-1991 came off the back of his shitty tag team with Johnny Ace, he was just a lost in the shuffle guy with a great look. In 1995, coming off his first great run in ECW, WWE could and should have let Douglas be more the Franchise character, not the shitty school teacher which buried his mainstream career. The other guy who in my opinion faltered in WWE but should have been utilised much better was Dean Malenko. The other 3 guys in Radicalz got fair to solid pusges while Malenko was left playing ladies amn to Lita and being fed to rubiish like Essa Rios and Tak Michinoku. Compared to his awesome cruiserweight matches in WCW, Malenko could hav been used with guys like Kurt Angle, Tazz, Jericho in early 2000. Instead he was a comedy act, which pretty much finished his in ring career

I have to say MVP. i was not a fan of him myself, but he had everything going for him. His US title run was one of the best runs of any WWE US champ. He could wrestle pretty well in the ring, and he did a great promo. Not sure why it never panned out for him, but he definitely should have made it farther than he did.
