the low end. southside chi
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.

thats cause they would always pull the rug from under sdots leges..... everytime hed get some momentum going his way theyd start jobing him out after so much of that its like fukk it

his matches with punk in ecw were the best matches on tv

The John Morrison gimmick had potential but too bad morrison sucks on promos he had one good spot that gave me hope where he was climbing the ropes while taunting dreamer and going "Mr. MOJO -RISIN'! "

Test- big tall guy that could go, just never had a solid gimmick.

Mordecai/Kevin Ferg- speaking of solid gimmicks, from what I saw this guy's gimmick was cool as hell but crowds didnt react and they pulled the plug

Owen Hart- they made him the Blazer again and it lead to what it lead to. RIP.

Scott Hall- how the phuck did he NEVER win a WWF or WCW World Title?

Kanyon/Mortis- Mortis was so dumb, it just worked. A ninja skull jester just kind of worked. Really I could go on with the DDP clone gimmick or Invasion MVP, but Kanyon was a great entertainer, could put on a show in the ring, and made every gimmick work.

D Lo- I thought he was entertaining as IC and Euro champion. Even gets some good pops when he returns. Unfortunately now he's eaten himself out of a good career.

Worlds Greatest Tag Team
- There was no need to break them up. Both guys had the personality of a can of paint. But when they had the WGTT gimmick it worked because they could actually wrestle.

AW- He was supposed to be the mouthpiece for PTP but got canned after going in on WWE on Twitter. He also was managing Epico and Primo for a while. He could have had some nice tag teams under his management and had a good run.

Samoa Joe/AJ Styles/Bobby Rude- TNA guys that never made the leap. To me, a career stuck in TNA is a flop. Its like being the best player in the CFL. No one cares until you do it in the NFL every Sunday.

Think Vince secretly HATES every member of the Hart Family

D Lo was never going to live down what happened to Droz

AJ and Bobby both had brief stints with the WWE.

Im pretty sure Carliton has been named in this thread but he is one of my choices. Cryme Tyme had potential too but never got a chance with the belts which was some bullshyt.

This promo...is SOOOO fukking awful. How can this be? :yikesvince:

My God...it's like hearing a 3rd grader struggle to read some shyt aloud.

Just robotic and monotonous as fukk. It's physically irking me to know that he's such a good wrestler. It's like...I wish I could donate to a fundraiser to get him microphone skills.

....and adding this to the fact that O'Haire flopped is even more annoying. :smh:
