Missed opportunities [Archive]

Yeah. We've heard a million times why Goldberg/Hogan should've been on PPV. We've heard why Jericho's undisputed title run was complete nonsense. I just lost my mind recently again over the Edge/Matt Hardy feud. What, in your mind, was the biggest missed booking opportunity in wrestling? If not the biggest, just post one that really bothered you as a wrestling fan. Explain in detail of possible.

One that always really bothered me, while not being all that huge of a deal was the Hunter Hearst Helmsley/Goldust feud from 1997. These guys always just seemed like natural rivals to me and the short programs that they had together were always wonderful and memorable. They started off as equals and then eventually Trips left Goldust in the.. Err... Dust. To me this feud could have gone on for years and could have been constantly revisited. There is so much they could've done in a program with these two guys. Completely squandered. The mind games Goldust could've played between Trips and Chyna could've really been really great. When Triple H started his ascension to the top, Goldust could've gone right there with him. Dunno.

Not a huge case, but not throwing a bunch of support behind a big Drew McIntyre push after that Elimination Chamber where he was immensely good was a bit of a missed opportunity I think. Not saying he would've set the world alight, but he could've been a very solid hand in the upper midcard.

Easy answer is the Invasion...

but the post of Christian's titantron... yeah, 2005 could have been his year. He's always been my favorite and I felt so validated around that time. Then, he goes from WWE title match to US Title matches and then to TNA.

Christian may be one of the top 5 missed opportunities in the last 10 years.

It's hard to say that he's a missed opportunity because he's still got so much more to go, but as we speak, I would have to say Zack Ryder is a missed opportunity, he could be doing so much more right now, he doesn't even need to have the same gimmick. WWE is missing the boat with this guy, and I'm speechless that they continue to ignore all the fandom he gets.

Also WWE should of offered Sting like, 50 trillion dollars and got him to fight Taker at Mania the other year when they had that 2/2/11 or som shit.

Tom Guycott

08-04-2013, 01:50 AM

Monty Brown could of been what Lashley should of been.

Monty Brown wasn't really anyone's fault, though. I mean, not in WWE. He may have well gone on to become the face of the company by now if real life stuff didn't get in the way. Kudos to him for putting family first.

I know I'll get disagreements to the point, but I wish WWE would have thought to at least have a followthrough with Cody Rhodes' threat to "pull an Ultimate Warrior" and hold bolt the IC and WHC. Maybe not have him actually win the world title, but at least build him up to be a legit threat for it and make it look like it was possible instead of it just being a throwaway promo.

Vader's initial WWF run was a missed opportunity.

Sure Noid said something similar about Cena/Carlito likening it to Austin/Rock/HHH, guys who could have been each others big rivals in a Batman/Joker sort of way which made a lot of sense.

The Invasion angle was a huge waste. Talent wise, why they never pushed Rhino based on being the last ever ECW champion and the overness he had with the Gore is baffling, Triple H treats him as a threat and he's on his way, but he got injured and jobbed out.

The Condor

08-04-2013, 04:03 PM

A few options, though they may not be major, epoch defining opportunites.

1) Ron Simmons coming as a former WHC in WCW and becoming the lackluster Farooq Assad. Ahmed Johnson's push should have been Ron's and he was more of a pro/athlete to make it work.

2.) A "real" Marc Mero heel push. In late '97/ early '98 Mero was the master of cheap heel heat. A good IC title feud with a credible face champ like XPac would have been fun.

3.) Taz(z), but that may just be preference on my part.

Always loved Test. They had a few chances to give him big pushes. He could've been a great sympathetic face after the failed wedding to Steph. I'd have liked him to stick around and always try to be a thorn in Triple H's side.

Then there was the immunity battle royal he won. In a time when the rosters were crowded, and it was fairly common for a guy to just get released out of nowhere, he could've been a great cocky heel who couldn't get fired so would just act like a prick for the sake of it.

I really enjoyed Kronik in WCW but from the interviews I've seen Bryan Clark had no desire to go back to the WWE. (he only went for that short time because Adams wanted to go)

Kinda surprised nobody mentioned "Primetime" yet. He had a solid career and was a multi time tag champion in TNA but I really thought this guy had potential to be a huge singles star.

WWE not capitalizing on how red hot RVD's popularity was during the Invasion period.

WCW screwing up the aftermath of Goldberg's first loss since instead of continuing the Nash-Goldberg feud and maybe lead up into Hogan-Goldberg II, instead the Finger Poke of Doom occurred.

The WWE could've done a better job at hyping up the first ever unified tag team champions. The Colons were exceptionally decent in the ring.

http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/pictures/s/spankylondon/09.jpg

Paul London and Brian Kendrick were amazing as a tag team. Although they had a great reign as tag team champions on Smackdown! , they never made it big after being drafted to RAW.

http://i.imgur.com/au6hV.gif

The Brian Kendrick was amazing. He had so much potential :(

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kLMxZioIngs/TyoundB2_7I/AAAAAAAAEyQ/41JrGyAV9kg/s640/John-Morrison-john-morrison-15662017-398-600.jpg

John Morrison was super hot after his face turn. He had an outstanding ladder match with Sheamus and a stupendous WWE title match against former protege - The Miz. It's a bummer that the WWE never capitalized on his last return. He clearly lacked the ability to cut promos and did some improv in LA. Not sure what happened to that. Nice belly button.

CWK

08-05-2013, 02:31 AM

The biggest blown opportunity WWE has had in recent years, maybe ever is the way they failed to capitalize on the CM Punk shoot angle in 2011. They had it done perfectly and it was all ruined when they brought him back to RAW 8 days after winning the title at MITB.

They should have left him off of TV for a few months with Vince coming out and begging him to come back with the belt and do business with WWE with Punk not showing up, maybe doing the occasional "via satellite" feed maybe with Vince standing in the ring and Punk appearing on the titantron from Vince's office with Punk sitting in Vince's chair with his feet on the desk with the title in full view basically Punk dangling the carrot. Then bring Punk back at Survivor Series.

Point is, Punk should still be champion right now and surpassing a historic 2 year title reign as a monster heel and with Paul Heyman as his manager.

Punk could have been the second coming of Stone Cold Steve Austin. He is that talented. They just dropped the ball huge with him. They still are really.

Fignuts

08-05-2013, 03:19 AM

While I think Punk is one of the best heels in a long time, he is lacking as a face. He's not bad, but he doesn't have that electricity that it takes to be THE guy. Guys like the rock, hogan, and Austin.

He's still very good. But not "the next Austin" like I've seen so many people saying.

"The next Piper" is more accurate, imo.

I did say that. I liked that Carlito came in to the WWE and beat Cena day one, and then had Jesus stab Cena in the club or whatever the story was there. It was ridiculous, but it was a nice little feud to introduce Carlito to the WWE audience.

They interacted a few times in between then and 2009, but when Carlito came out randomly during a John Cena promo after Sheamus had won the Breakout Battle Royal to challenge him at the TLC PPV, I really enjoyed the idea. Carlito just didn't like Cena and wanted to see him lose. Carlito would never be the biggest threat to Cena, but the rivalry would be constantly there. Perhaps if Edge needed help against Cena sometime in the future, Carlito would have been right there to help him out.

Mr. Nerfect

08-05-2013, 06:23 AM

I do think that the CM Punk stuff in 2011 could have been handled better. I always thought the WWE should have had Rey Mysterio win the WWE Title tournament like he did, but present him with a new title belt. CM Punk would upload shoot videos onto YouTube mocking Rey's "fake title." Maybe Punk would even go around to certain independent promotions and "defend" the WWE Title against his friends and guys he wanted to work with. He could create his own website, which would be owned by WWE of course, where he would record his activities and title defenses.

SummerSlam would have featured Rey Mysterio defending the WWE Title against John Cena and Triple H "calling out CM Punk." Punk would have forced Vince McMahon to lose control of the WWE, and Triple H would be distraught but the new boss. He would demand Punk show up for a fight and bring his WWE Title if he were a man. Punk would show up through the crowd with Colt Cabana, Ace Steel, Domino, Luke Gallows and whoever else Punk is real life friends with outside the WWE. He would jump the barricade and get into a brawl with Triple H after him, Vince and Stephanie before a selection of "stooges" would run out and brawl with Punk's "Saints." The rebels are beaten by numbers and Triple H would demand to know where the WWE Title is. Punk would be held by a team of heel WWE Superstars and spit into Triple H's face. The Game would give Punk the Pedigree and then bring out the sledgehammer, but Stephanie would come out, being the smart businesswoman she is, and say that they cannot do this to Punk since he's not under contract. Or if the brawl is too much, just have Punk show up and mock Triple H through the crowd and explain that he's not stupid enough to bring his WWE Championship into Triple H's house.

That feud could have been the new Austin/McMahon.

Mr. Nerfect

08-05-2013, 06:24 AM

Christian and Matt Hardy in 2005 were both pretty frustrating. I'm not sure what they should have done with either, exactly, but trying to squash their heat instead of capitalize on it? That was just annoying to watch as a fan.

Didn't that get CM Punk to where he is right now? The better argument would be that Carlito wasn't motivated enough and didn't care to put on a good match. He isn't as passionate about the business as Primo is.

Mr. Nerfect

08-05-2013, 07:33 PM

You have a point. But I do wonder how much the ball is dropped so these guys get annoyed and how much it is the ball not being rolled because they are annoying. Either way, complaining even at the end isn't going to do you any favors. Carlito was fucking awesome though.

Return of the NWO, Jericho's first win over Triple H, Foley's first return from retirement.

The original NWO formula was awesome, because they turned boring baby-faces into fun heels. The return was silly and they didn't turn any mid-card guys as I recall which screwed things up. What should have happened was as soon as they got back they enlisted Big Show, renamed him Giant, recruited Triple H and Shawn Michaels and 5-6 mid-card guys.

Nash, Hall, Hogan, Giant, Triple H, Michaels, Edge, Christian + a host of bad bad guys would have been really fun and I think it's what we all expected. Not what we got though. It would have been much cooler for Austin, Rock and Angle to be the underdogs in a battle for the soul of the WWE.

Jericho's win over Triple H was fantastic and everybody loved it, right up until the sloppy writing ending where the match was overturned. Booo. Should have resulted in an epic feud with Triple H on the hunt for the title. Instead...nothing that I recall.

Foley's Wrestlemania return was pretty lackluster as a match, and made his subsequent returns a little less special. He should have been the ref and made a return somewhere down the line. Vince screwed it up and gave us a cluster-fuck of a main-event instead. Hated that match with a passion.

WWE putting Christian in a world title match in Summerslam, thus costing the company a huge buyrate because nobody gives a fuck about him. Even worse when they could have had RVD face Del Rio. Also, Adam West is a jobber.

Somewhat recent but I would say Matt Morgan was a huge missed opportunity for TNA (no pun intended) It seems like TNA never committed to making Morgan a major star.

I know some people here may not like X-Pac, but I come from the Paul Heyman school of bringing out a guy's strengths instead of their weaknesses.

08-09-2013, 04:41 PM

Also, Jericho and Benoit for the World title should've happened in 2003-04. They had great matches for the IC belt and think about the rivalries that started out for the IC belt, then became World title feuds (Rock vs. Austin, Rock vs. HHH, HBK vs Bret Hart). Also, around that time, Kane should've had at least one title reign. One day in 98 doesn't cut it.

Hey, you're not telling us something we don't already know.

1) Ron Simmons coming as a former WHC in WCW and becoming the lackluster Farooq Assad. Ahmed Johnson's push should have been Ron's and he was more of a pro/athlete to make it work.

3.) Taz(z), but that may just be preference on my part.

Yeah, the Blue Foam Gladiator "start from the bottom" treatment for Ron was complete shit. As for Taz, all I have to say is that Champion vs. Champion match with HHH right after Taz won the ECW championship from Mike Awesome "on his night off" could have been so much bigger... and it seemed like it was going to be given how much the announcers were putting the entire situation over. Instead, it was just another throwaway win for Hunter and never mentioned again.

The Brian Kendrick was amazing. He had so much potential :(

I think he would’ve been a great mid-upper card guy, occasionally holding the US or IC title, and maybe a WWE Championship contender from time to time, although I sadly have my doubts if VKM would’ve ever let him break through the glass ceiling.

Besides, he got to do something few, if any, WWE Superstars have gotten to do:

I’ve always thought how great it could be if CBS could actually pull off a “WWE Week” on TPiR. They could have all the monies won sent to charities of each individual superstar’s choice. :love:

Thrasher was better at putting on make up, but he was no D'Lo Brown w/ Tiger Ali Singh.

Maybe I'm just bitter that Mosh never got the hardcore title reign he deserved.

Thinking back I wish the Warrior-Goldust feud went through in '96. Entertainment value through the roof.

That would have been The Million Dollar Mosh w/ Irwin R. Thrasher and D'Lo Brown.

Taz could have had much better feuds in WWE. The ones I'd switch:

Have Steve Blackman end Kurt Angle's streak at Royal Rumble '00. Taz then debuts against and defeats Big Bossman, who wanted to face Taz as a matter of maintaining a pecking order of tough guys in WWE, and feuds with him through April. Bossman's WM '00 moment is giving Taz his comeuppance instead of hanging from Undertaker's Hell in the Cell. Who does Taker face instead? I haven't decided.

Then, have Taz feud with Kane from King of the Ring through SummerSlam '00, where Kane wins again. This would still be a PPV loss for Taz but better than jobbing to semi-retired Jerry Lawler, much as I respect the King.
