I think MVP was one of the bigger fumbles. He was a total package talent to me. I definitely felt like after his US title run, he was gonna be movin' up the card, but shyt went the other way...

Kennedy is kinda a double-edged sword. Between '06-'07, he seemed like he was well on his way toward bein' a top guy. After '07, shyt was never the same. I think all that talking he did about steroids only to get popped for purchasing 'em was the thing that undid him.

Rusev around the Rusev Day time... they fukked that one up. I ain't sayin' he shoulda been champ or nothin', but he surely shoulda gotten more than he did. A number of times, shoulda gotten some kinda big celebration moment in front of the crowd, but it never happened. Next thing you know, he was a heel again and that was that. Blah.

Some of these dudes bein' mentioned, tho'... I don't really see it. :yeshrug: Especially the ones who held the WWE or World title, because some of them were IC/US title guys at best who overachieved like a MF... shoutout to Del Rio, Christian, Ziggler. Everybody can't be top guys, some of the people mentioned were in the middle and rightfully.

And as for Punk... if he's a drop-the-ball, I'd love to see what some of these other wrestlers think. I bet MVP or Barrett woulda loved to be champion for over a year, wrestle all the top stars, and be a top star themselves :russ: He had some legit gripes after he left, but I also think he also had some gripes that made no sense. He got a lot more than most but acted like he was gettin' buried the whole time.
Del Rio was cool as a top heel then he came back and got put with a bunch of midcarders.

Christian was over before he left for tna and had the crowd chanting for him before he turned. They threw him on ecw unceremoniously.

Showoff, #heel Ziggler was over as fukk.

I maintain til this day that both TNA and The WWE fukked up HEAVILY by not doing more with He or Monty Brown.

Burke was exactly what they were looking for in a cocky, arrogant youg heel who could work the mic and could give you a good to great match, and Brown... breh. Brown was MONEY. There's NO reason he shouldn't have gotten a world title out of either fed.
I agree what you said about Elijah. When it came to Monty, Jarret was going through his reign of terror during that time in Impact, but if the issues that his family was going through didn't happened, he more than likely would've won the ECW Championship.
