Billy Gunn had several fag gimmicks. Could you be more specific?
Shelton's failure to be a main eventer was no real surprise to anyone paying attention. I like Shelton, but he seemed to choke whenever he got near the big time. |

Scotty was a world champ in WCW I think that should qualify as a main eventer.

I thought we were talking about WWE exclusively. I don't know why, but that's what I thought.
Nevermind then. |

Chris Jericho
Chris Benoit These guys got the World belt, then they were putting over mid-carders. Slightly off topic: I thought Dean Malenko would at least make IC title level. |

He would have at least been multiple time IC and/or US champion at this point. And prob'ly thrown into a tag team for at least one run as a champ there as well. If situations changed, Monty could prob'ly walk into Extreme Rules, cost either Thwagger or Of The River their match, and be hotshotted into the main event pictue similar to how they initially shoehorned Skippy. I agree with MVP, JoMo, and Benjamin. Expecting too much too soon from Shelton while WWE was in one of those "OH SHIT, WE KINDA NEED FRESH FACES RIGHT NOW!!!" modes was part of his problem. I would liken him to Sin Cara in the whole trying to make him a big deal way too fast thing. On the TNA side of things: Elijah Burke "the future of the company" Jay Lethal Motor City Machine Guns |

If Shelton Benjamin returned to the WWE, I think they would find a way to make him a main eventer in the current climate. I'd love to see him working with Del Rio, Swagger, Ziggler and that crew.

Malenko didn't have that ridiculous "I'm so angry!" face (It might have been better if it wasn't coupled with him talking like he's reading directly from a cue card). That puts him over Benoit.
Plus the fact that Malenko was stellar at his job as a guy who was as a serious, no bullshit, intimidating force in the cruiserweight division and was never pushed as a main eventer for some God awful reason. But that's more just retarded booking at fault than Benoit. |

And that's why "a top dog in the cruiserweight division" suited him perfectly. He was never over-pushed. Like I said, I'd admit that most of my dislike for Benoit started when he got over-pushed and the fact that it never happened with Malenko made me enjoy him for what he was.

Dean Malenko was really good for what he was and he has a nice job as a producer with the WWE because of it. I'd love to see him play an on-air character at some point. Even if he was just the corner man of Antonio Cesaro or something.
