What wrestlers/talent would you say WWE have misused? past and present.

1. Jeff Jarrett - Sure, he held the tag titles, had a run with the IC Title and Euro Title, but he should have had a run with WWE Title as well

2. Ron Killings - Given a main event push last year with Cena, perfect time for WWE to put the title on him, instead, they had Cena win and Killings went back to midcard

3. Raven - it's a crime that he never held the World Title when he was in WWE

4. Sean O'Haire - Should have been given a main event push

5. Ken Shamrock - Same as Raven

R-Truth didn't get the belt because of the emergence of CM Punk. He DID stay in the main event though. He main evented SSeries in the tag match against The Rock. It was when he got suspended he got demoted.

Definately, such an interesting gimmick.

Muhammed Hassan- This was partly the performers fault because he wouldn't *sigh*... embrace the hate, but he still should have been given the Title straight off the bat IMO. The best heel WWE has ever created, can you imagine Cena vs Hassan for the belt? £££.

Owen Hart, Mr. Perfect, Christian (Only is finally being used to his potential after nearly 17 years of shit), Mr. Kennedy (Anderson's WWE run), MVP, ZigZag (sure, he's new, but it's just sad seeing him go out there every week and job to whoever they plan to push), Eddie G (spent his whole career trying to get that title, and finally got it and his life/career were over the next), I thought Booker had the short end of the stick when he came to the WWE, wasn't he a 5-time WCW champion? It wasn't until he was on his way out he got a gimmick like King Booker....

Who else... Bully Ray, but who would have known when he was in WWE that he could have been THIS great, he just pulled this out of nowhere.... who else, who else, who else.... Ultimo Dragon? Didn't he only last like 2 weeks before being released...... thinking, thinking, more thinking, Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin could have been built as Kurt Angle 2.0's, Shelton on Raw & Charlie on Smackdown, Maybe Mark Jindrak, Bobby Lashley, Lance Cade, Even Test... Basically a lot of people from 2002-2008 when they we're overshadowed with Cena/Triple H/Orton/HBK/Lesnar/Batista/Taker/Angle/JBL

If you remember, Hassan's original gimmick was being a heel with the direction of "Fuck all of you, just because I'm Middle Eastern doesn't make me a terrorist! You're all ignorant for thinking that!" He was getting the heel reactions by pointing out the hypocracy of the crowd. Once they changed direction and made it into the whole "....Oh, turns out he *is* a terrorist gimmick heel after all!" thing, it kinda just fell apart.

Ultimo Dragon? His claim to fame in WWE is always going to be tripping on the way down the aisle twice at Wrestlemania, that's about it.

To be fair though, Hassan wasn't really "misused" he was in a feud with Taker at the time of his release. It was the stupid media who attacked Hassan & WWE because he did that weird ass angle with Taker the same night of the terrorist attack in london. So stupid. He's still young too, only like 30., I think.

I thought they gave Anderson a decent push. He screwed himself over by failing wellness just as he was gonna get pushed as Vince's Son.

[Deadpool]

That, plus getting on Randy Orton's bad side by injuring him, thus triggering the whole "Ya know, I don't think Anderson is safe to work with in the ring" deal with Orton.

[Omgitzjay]

He got fired when he was just about to get a push in the Main Event because Orton got jealous of it and faked almost getting injured at the hands of Kennedy.

[Deadpool]

I think Anderson screwed himself more then Orton screwed Anderson...

....not that there's anything wrong with that of course.

[Omgitzjay]

oh fuck.... how could i forget this man:



& the other New Breed guys (Ariel, Elijah Burke, Marcus Cor Von, Matt Striker)
Only need breed guy to make anything out of himself was CM Punk and even that took a little while.

[Jackanape]

I preferred him as Mordecai...

[Namor1987]

Too many to list.

[Deadpool]

Speaking of Ariel, I dunno if she did this a lot, but I do recall her, whenever she'd come out, she would crawl onto the announce table and do her little "vampiress seduction" thing on Joey Styles, and just watching him stammering and freaking out in his usual Joey Styles way was kinda funny.

[EasyEB]

Also forgot to mention Kanyon. He was terribly misused in WWE.

[Jackanape]

DDP?
Peoples Champ vs Peoples Champ should've been a given.

I've just been thinking, in an age when guys like Kane & Taker are on their way out they could have built Kevin Thorn as the next "Dark" character, HE could have ended the streak.

I do wish WWE would bring him back, yeah time has past, he's 35 now, but he's got a good 7 years left in the tank, ending Taker's streak at this point is probably an after though, because you want a guy that can deliver for more than 7 years, 6-7 years ago when he first came in he could have came in and spent 15 years in the WWE and made it worth killing the streak on him.

The guy is still rotting on the indies and never gave up, it's obvious he's not just wrestling for the money.

I don't understand why they don't take him back, Then again they DO have this guy in FCW:

If you could post that, I'm sure you could post a Bible length piece.

Get to work on that...
