Wrestlers who you were NOT surprised didnt become main event guys
 

just to complete this square.

Zack Ryder
Santino
Mideon

Daniel Bryan, CM Punk. Anybody from ROH in general.

lol was just coming in here to make a satirical gertner post containing the same sentiment but was beaten to it by the one and only.

Nobody does it better

Kozlov

If there was a rassler called "Top Gun" Striker Hawk, I'd say him.

Tensai, Clay

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Brodus Clay is one day considered a major threat. Not on a "face of the company" level or anything, but I could easily see him being something like Mark Henry is.

Hassan.

Mantaur

Hardcore Holly, Big Daddy V, King Billy Gunn

X-Pac
The Godfather/Kama/Papa Shango

T.L. Hopper
Duke "The Dumpster" Droese
Eugene
evaD Sullivan

Hardcore Holly's attempt at a main-event push was almost ten years ago. :lol:

I wouldn't rule him out entirely just yet, but I never really saw Ted DiBiase as being ready for a main event role at the time of Legacy's split. I was always more of a Cody Rhodes fan.

They should bring Ted DiBiase back with an Iron Man gimmick.

Zach Gowen
Chyna
Virgil
Mike Enos
Al Green
Any predominantly hardcore wrestlers

Val Venus. They already had a cursing redneck as World Champ, could you imagine all the parent groups screaming if that porn star go the big belt?.
