Wrestlers that had a lot potential but ended up a flop

[NovaKane]

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

Benjamin & Morrison were both given the ball, but couldn't talk for shyt. Benjamin seemed like he was content with just bein' a midcarder and coasted off his in-ring skill. Even when he went to ROH, he still couldn't talk

I think it's still too early to tell for Barrett. I don't think givin' him the strap that early would've made an impact on the Nexus angle. Besides the initial attacks, the stable was whack before Cena "buried" him. shyt he was doin' alright for himself on SD before he got injured

Mr Kennedy.

Bobby Lashey. I heard dude is in MMA now.

 

[KevCo]

I wouldn't consider Joe a flop at all.

He's had a good career even though his look goes against the grain of everything modern pro wresting pushes.

yeh, but he did fukk up by not going to WWE when they offered him a deal.....


Id say Kennedy was one of the people I supported and really thought could be a big deal at some point in his career...hell, Taker hand picked the dude for a series of matches, that was the last time I remember Taker being watchable (Outside of when HBK carried him to two good matches) and even Ric Flair picked him as an opponent on his retirement tour...(of course, we all know now how seriously he took that retirement tour...)

 

[Hannibal Fox]

Nearly everyone mentioned has been the victim of inadequate booking, and in certain cases their own indiscretions.

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

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.

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

what do I do next?

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

.

Breh, hercules did NOT have it all. He had enough to get over if he was beating up someone in the henan family or if he was IN the heenan family. Dude was an awful no seller and was just a roided out guy.

 

[Leonard Washington]

I was convinced that this guy was gonna win the big one for blackness

 

[TRIPLE M]

they were pushed hard and then just dropped from oblivion

...pushed with vignettes,than got the boot from razor ramon

first tough enough winner..eliminates taker..beats ric flair on raw than dropped

injury prone...than didn't want to job to kurrgan...at one time i thought he would get the strap..but fell off once farooq kicked him in the kidneys:sadiron:

they were good enough to be tag champ..and their mask gimmick was genius but they were always used as jobbers:sadiron:

swag was off the chain in 87..as a child i wanted a feud with him and Hulk Hogan for the title...and he was just kept in the low card:sadiron:

when he first came to raw with all his belts and jim cornet i though business was a bout to pick up and he was gonna fukk people up...but he didn't even get any ppv matches..on tv for what like a month

I though Meat aka Planet Stasiak was a solid wrestler..I don't know why he was dropped

This guy had it all so did:

Remembers when the giants could actually work.

He was in a career endin' accident while on the come up

Every time I see a documentary talkin' about Magnum TA, he always got highly praised by his peers to be next in line if he didn't get hurt.
