Wrestlers you were high on but failed.

DS will be along any second to rip you a new one for that post Bear.

Bring it!

So I ctrl+f'd through the thread and didn't find Fandango, Zack Ryder, or Santino Marella. I'm impressed.

They are still in the company and one does not know what the future holds for them. Fandango is still very entertaining, at least to me of course and I miss Santino too. But hey I also miss David Otunga's bow-tie and his on-screen role as a lackey for Laurinaitis.

Fandango has a one way ticket to "comedy jobber" town, and he's not showing any signs of veering from that path.

Yeah you're probably right, but still I can't hold myself of "Fandangoing" with a hot crowd in my living room. The guys is funny and being funny is entertaining to. That foot locker segment with him made me laugh. However for purposes of the thread, I don't see him really "making" it to a main event spot

Fandango is still more entertaining than most of the WWE roster.

On the subject of the thread John Morrison, The Pope, Matt Morgan, Alex Shelley (although he's tearing up Japan) those are the only ones I can think of

 

[Hollywood Naitch]

Sean O'Haire (huge fan of his work, should have been a megastar)

Rhyno in WWE- he just suddenly became a jobber, in the Invasion he was kind of a big deal and was excellent in the ring.

Raven in WWE- Completely wasted, could have been awesome if he had been given the chance.

Mike Awesome- amazing agilty for a big man
Mark Jindrak

Palumbo/O'Haire as a team- when they cancelled Sean's push, they should have reformed this tag team.

Jerry Lynn in WWE

John Morrison had some success, but I did expect him to have a greater degree of success than he did.

He did a recent interview stating he'll be back to the WWE someday, but I certainly thought he would have accomplished more before he left. His feud with Sheamus produced some really fun matches, and I loved his FCA match with the Miz.

He and Punk had a great feud that stretched over several years as well.

McIntyre, Morrison. I think my biggest outside chance was probably Michael Tarver.

I remember you being a McIntyre guy from Day 1.

You and Sally both, albeit for different reasons.

Bobby Lashley.

He had that great match with Cena at the GAB in, what, 2007? Then he was injured the next night against Mr Kennedy, I believe, and was never heard from again in the E'.

 

[Alex]

I'm curious was the only reason Miz was pushed over Morrison because he could talk better??

He certainly isn't as good in the ring

I was always of the impression that they wanted an "underdog heel" to play third fiddle, if you will, to Cena and Rock going into WM 27, even as champion. Miz certainly fit that bill. I think that was apparent in his "Hate Me Now" entrance at the show, even.

Is it any wonder he fell off the face of the earth himself as a main eventer(Except one PPV) after he dropped the belt to Cena?

But hey I also miss David Otunga's bow-tie and his on-screen role as a lackey for Laurinaitis.

But you thought Otunga was going to be a main event guy? Or even more then the jobber he was with the way he was presented in Nexus?

 

[TLC]

Carlito, definitely Carlito.

A lot of rumors and speculation surround that. Here's the dirtsheet version, courtesy of PWT:

Former WWE creative team member John Piermarini stated in a blog post earlier this year that Vince McMahon believes John Morrison "can't kick anyone's ass in a real fight" and therefore won't achieve the success many feel he's destined for. That's not the only criticism being levied towards "The Prince of Parkour" as many people within WWE feel he comes off as if he's performing in his matches, as opposed to fighting. This holds him back, as does his relationship with Melina and the belief that his promo ability is subpar.

Character aside, it's been said that McMahon doesn't respect Morrison as a man. Years ago, he allowed Melina to engage in a sexual relationship with former WWE talent Dave Bautista (a/k/a Batista) while the two were dating. Morrison opted to be professional instead of confrontational and therefore lost brownie points with the WWE CEO. For some reason or another, Vince has always been a fan of confrontations.

 

[Mr. Artistic guy]

And Rhyno. Why? Best fucking spear.

Couldn't touch Goldberg's.

 

[Mr. Artistic guy]

I remember you being a McIntyre guy from Day 1.

I still am a fan and hopeful because he's young, and I think it's encouraging that WWE have kept him around still even if it's not important role. Unlike for Sally, what turned me on about McIntyre was the aggression. Who remembers this:

Oh, I'm sure the aggression does it for Sally as well.....

I don't respect him as a man for this either. I don't give a damn who the woman, hot as Melina Perez is, I:

a. Wouldn't allow them to be in an open relationship with another man.

b. If I found out about it and it wasn't an open relationship, I'd confront the guy, even if I did get my ass handed to me.

Easy to say? Sure, I guess.
