Wrestlers that had a lot potential but ended up a flop

[Hannibal Fox]

There are plenty of dudes that could be in this list but I'll start it off with

Dudes were mentioning him in the same sentence as CM Gawd and D BRY back in the days.

He had some great matches in tna for a bit, now he is just there

Not a flop just a victim of bad booking and even badder politics sure he's more or less treading water but flop nah never.

Like I said he was being mentioned with CM Gawd and D Bry back on ****.

Say those three names now and he clearly doesn't fit.

[Willy Waffle]

the first person that comes to mind imo

 

[Prince Akeem]

teddy hart is a spot monkey...an innovative one though...his own behavior cost his downfall

british bulldog's kid i thought had some potential to be a good power wrestler until he came back from his wellness violation looking even less intimidating than usual..didnt help he didnt have much of a personality either

Thread should be stickied. Mordecai and Sean O Haire flopping is an atrocity. Hassan for obvious reasons. nikkas posting Sylvester Turkay. I forgot all about that dude. he got it done in the ring too. Matt Morgan should have been a star.

Muhammad Hassan was far from a flop.
The company put him out to dry. The business showed him no loyalty, so why in the world would he stick around?

Yeah, Gabe had Samoa Joe built up perfectly in ROH, and he was on his way to being a real star in TNA. For whatever reason, they dropped the ball on him.

It really makes no sense whatsoever. He came in with a bunch of hype, played his role excellently, and ended up being in the highest drawing match the company has ever had. Joe should have been a sure thing.

His whole situation reeks of incompetence on the part of the bookers.

There's a difference between bad booking and flopping...

With that said, Billy Gunn gets the lifetime achievement award

 

[DaylitoJames]

Jack Swagger

 

[Singh]

lazy

self-explanatory

Nathan Jones

Nathan Jones

How he got a push as a monster heel and not Mat Morgan is beyond me.

First time I saw him throwing horribly telegraphed jump spinning crescent kicks (or whatever they were supposed to be) it was a case of:

then Jones was 6ft 11" he didn't need to be jumping anywhere.

The formula was simple no sell, no sell, power move, pummel, chokeslam, cover 123 rinse and repeat.

They had the fool in the ring trying to finesse

As for Samoa Joe you all know what happened:

If they had kept Joe's streak going they would have made mad money off of Joe vs Angle.

You didn't even need Angle to win the initial match.

As for Teddy Hart his ego is his biggest downfall, there's a reason why CM gave him the beats, and he was saved from Joe barely.

He's more a spot monkey these days, but he can actually run with any style of wrestling, very talented and tragic at the same time.

And it was fukked up the way they released him too..

But anyway...THIS nikka

I really thought that nikka was going to be the next Rock...no lie..

MVP was a case of "why try?" He was entertaining and good the ring compared to most of the main event talent but never got bigger than team red alert....
