You're right, it's about busts. All of the people I listed were busts. Thanx for sharing your opinion, though.

Any women for that matter

4HW all achieved what they were supposed to do

Busts mean they came in with a lot of hype and were heavily pushed. They weren't

Again, your opinion. While we're at it, add Garrett Bischoff to my list.

a women's match is the highest rated match of this year

TNA's Knockouts division (Awesome Kong, Gail Kim, Angelina Love era) was regularly beating WWE Raw in the ratings for a while.
Also, Joshi wrestling is a huge draw.

Shinsuke in WWE

In Shinsukes defense when he first came In he was on fire breh.

The main roster call up absolutely killed him though. We really thought he had next when he won the Royal Rumble.

Vince let that main job to AJ Styles in every match.

The only answers imo are Sin Cara, Tensai, O 'Haire, Staziak, and Palumbo.

Why I'm seeing Nakamura on here is beside me? I get it he didn't pan out in the main event scene but he has been a solid fixture in the mid card/tag team scene with numerous titles.

Basically the equivalent of a Marvin William's career. Didn't become the superstar that he was meant to be but wound up with a solid pro career overall.

Compared to his Japan stint where he looked completely larger than life, he’s a massive bust

I'm gonna take the angle here of a bust is someone you thought was gonna do good and had all the tools, but didn't.

She was the first NXT call-up that had all this buzz and momentum, but her time on the main roster wasn't a reflection of that. Not many memorable moments or matches, was injured half the time, and was spinning her wheels after her first year. I know she was forced into retirement, but when you compare her three years to what the Horsewomen or Asuka have done, it's like she wasn't even there.

@TheGreatShowtime knows.

Yo this is kinda true, but Paige was one of the pioneers or bridge-the-gappers that came before all the much better stuff we are getting now. I gotta give her some respect for that.

Lugoat was the man in WCW and more than lived up to the hype that he had in the early part of his career. Him going to the WWF was like Filipe Luis leaving Atlético Madrid to go Chelsea. It wasn’t a good fit and he wasn’t used to his true potential. Once he went back home though he immediately became an A-level player again.

Luger > Triple K.

Terra Ryzing got his cerebral assassin persona from 87-91 heel Luger.

Also, folks would have called Roman a bust instead of blaming it on the GM.

Roman would be the guy who underachieved his first few years but then they fired his first coach who was playing him out of position for some stupid ass reason and replaced with him with a well-respected guy who turned him into an MVP overnight.

Jack Swagger's dumbass injured him when he was at his hottest and he never regained the momentum.

Didn't he do the same thing to Dolp as well?
