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

I co-sign on that man

that's was more of what I was thinking

if he was booked correctly inside the ring I think he could of had a better career outcome, he had no business trying to do all that whacky shyt

that motherfukker is long gone now but hypothetically he could of been tailor made for a decent match with Taker @ a Mania or some shyt

Most definitely, the thing is he's a trained Martial Artist too that's what makes it even crazier he's way better than that shyt moveset in general actually, I don't know what they were thinking not having the guy just run through the enhancement talent.

They rushed him out on TV too quickly, You could imagine Vince saying:

"He'll get over no problem, he's a hoss, he does jump spinning kicks he's from OZ, he looks dangerous, he has muscles. :smugfavre:

I remember Jones would have this look on his face like:

:huh: what do I do next?

A 10 year old could book a hoss it's not rocket science.

unfortunately that's more than likely wtf happened

it's worst because he was training with Taker (storyline). Usually when ur doin shyt with Taker it leads to good things and a character sticking around

Honestly thought he was gonna be runnin' neck and neck climbin' up the ladder with HBK, especially after he won the IC chip. Dude was a great wrestler, but his runs in the E were inconsistent. He never changed his look to keep up with the times either. It was a wrap when The New Rockers were formed :scusthov:

He had another shot at a nice run after the match with Angle in '05, but that rockstar lifestyle got the best of him again. Ol' second childhood ass :snoop:


Matt Hardy

Moved to SD and was finally gettin' out of his brother's shadow. Then this simp decided he wanted to put his push at risk and move to Raw to be closer to Lita :what:

Soon as he got to Raw, he was jobbin' to everyone and that V1 shyt was dead (don't ask me how). Ya'll know the rest :shaq:

No matter how much he tried to reup, dude ain't been right since. He still won mad titles and shyt, but he could've been a much bigger star by the time he left the E :manny:

I can't think of a bigger bust than Billy Gunn. He got handed a big push, got the IC belt, and flopped every step of the way. From forcing the F to put Benoit over him for the title, to Rock's verbal destruction of his relevancy. No one lost harder than him, when he had so much foundation for a good run. Lenny and Lodi status, afterward.

By the time they gave Billy bytch Cakes the strap, his career was weed plate status :pachaha:

I marked way too hard when he became "interim" WWE champ, and I thought his stoned out persona was awesome. Too bad the WWE doesn't approve of clouds of weed smoke backstage.

Del Rio...... after winning the first 40 man rumble, he should have won the strap and reigned as a top heel on Smackdown..... but you already knew that.

Shelton Benjamin..... but just like Kamala told his son wrestling is no place for a black man

John Morrison...... his ECW title run and athleticism made me believe he could be something epic, but boring promos and pitiful simping made all that void

Christian ...... should have had the singles run that Edge had but he decided to make an Impact. His TNA run was good, but I always wanted to see him have a good run in the E

Wade Barrett.....should have gotten the belt as leader of the Nexus when he finally does get the strap it will be a lackluster run
