In recent times, Jinder Mahal is the answer.
Also, Bray Wyatt. He was champion two Manias ago... popped up in the battle royal last year... and where the fk has he been since summer.
Great Khali is up there as well, another person no wanted to be pushed heavy. He was holding the World belt in Summer '07... by the next Mania, he was in the preshow Battle Royal.
Sheamus went from WWE champ in early 2010 to preshow match with Bryan at Mania 27, which got turned into a battle royal, won by... The Great Khali
Then of course, way way back you had King Kong Bundy going from Hogan to midgets in a year.
Sgt. Slaughter was WWF champ main eventing with Hogan and Warrior in '91... working piss-break matches soon as Desert Storm was over. SAME YEAR.
Desert Storm ended before WM7. And he was either working with Duggan in Bootcamp matches or Desert Storm matches with Hogan up till SS91
Braun overachieved and was pushed faster than what he was ready for, sort of like The Giant in WCW

How can you overachieve if the only belt you won was a meaningless royal rumble title?

He should be an attraction that doesn't need a title. The fact that they made him go after the title and fail was stupid.

Tensai actually did improve in Japan. The biggest problem was he came back to the WWE gaining more weight, and doing so many theatrics that is good for the Japan audience but translates terribly on WWE tv. Green mist? Fire? A claw based finisher in a year that’s not 1980? The WWE completely underestimating the fans’ long term memory remembering him as Albert and A-Train??? He was dead from the start

Don't support the phonies, support the real
Same ones were in the crowd chanting A-Train or AlbertSNL? Is it cause they keep making fun of his boy Trump?

The problem is the lack selfishness. Hoegan understood and so did Nash, Trips, HBK etc. You weren't gonna catch these cats getting cats being up and down like a yoyo because they flat out said NO

He's in it so it may not be the pre-show. 
Desert Storm ended before WM7. And he was either working with Duggan in Bootcamp matches or Desert Storm matches with Hogan up till SS91
You get what I mean tho'... after that whole thing was done... by the end of '91 he was in the bullshyt Survivor Series match that they put between the shyt people pay to see.
Didn’t he pin Cena CLEAN back when it meant somethingAt least ... Mahal was a champ.

Yeah, Matt Bloom did improve exponentially in Japan. He wasn't amazing, but he had enough to where if he was used right it could have been a good big man run. But they brought him back as a laughable caricature of a guy who came from Japan. shyt was goofy on night one. I wasn't even that annoyed because the writing was on the wall the moment they had him do that shyt. Didn't even matter who he beat.
As for Braun, at best he seems poised for a Big Show career. Which is enough to earn you respect down the line and a Hall of Fame spot. And a title run or two. Maybe. But there's gonna be a lot of goofy turns along the way. Getting nerfed randomly, then being super strong randomly. Over and over. And he'll probably be dressed up like a baby, or a leprechaun or an elf again a whole bunch more times. Because fukk it. You're a big man. If you look like shyt, you can just squash someone 2 weeks later and get all your heat back. Right? RIGHT.

I said yesterday, he should be in the 'Taker' role, but they got him in the 'Big Show' role... but at the rate this is going, sooner than later he might end up in the 'Khali' role.
They say Vince likes big guys, but the danger of being a big guy, you never know which kinda big guy you're gonna end up becoming. Could be Taker or Kane... could be Khali or Kurrgan... never know.
At least ... Mahal was a champ.

The worst thing they possibly could've done was give this guy a 1994 New Generation ass gimmick in 2012.
