wrestlers that have never reached their true potential
Who do you think were the wrestlers that should have been legends or the like but just never made it to where they could have been?
Billy gunn Edge (He could be so much more than he is currently) Orton (He can put on awesome matches if he wants to) Kane Thoughts and comments more than welcome |
Kennedy
Matt and Jeff Hardy Marty Jannetty |
Scott Hall
|
Billy Gunn? BILLY GUNN!? Are you really Tovo? Billy Gunn had a million chances and every time he sucked. He did reach his full potential.
Oh, and to answer your question, if Hall could have stayed sober, he would have been brilliant. |
Jake Roberts
|
Basically anyone that went off the rails with drugs.
Although I'll argue Jake Roberts, I think he got about as far up the ladder as he was likely to get, he never screamed champ to me |
Dunno. Pretty sure before The Warrior threw a fit when he was gonna get the strap so they stopped the plan. He was over enough to have earned it. alls I know.

-Scott Hall
-Kerry Von Erich (although he did wrestle with only one foot in WWE) -I'd agree with Orton, he regressed since 2004 when he got Orton'd -Dean Malenko, I thought he could have been more in WWE -Brian Pillman, shame he could have really been something. I could see an Austin/Pillman feud in 98 being hot(t) |

As for people I think Orton and Edge could be a lot bigger than they are right now.
|
Definitely Dean Malenko. Also gotta go with Rob Van Dam and Charlie Haas.
|
Ken Shamrock
|
Kanyon
D'Lo Brown |
Owen Hart.
|
Rhino. The guy was red hot just after ECW folded and he's never been able to carry that momentum on
|
Magnum T.A.
End of thread. |

Oh and a honorable mention to David Von Erich.
|
Magnum TA and Owen Hart, end of thread.
|
Waylon Mercy
|
Chris Jericho. I know he was Undisputed Champion, but he never really got the chance to be treated like the biggest part of the company.
|
I see no potential in Orton whatsoever.
Kane absolutely deserves better. As much as I'm not really a Matt fan, he does seem better than the company wants you to think. My big beef is that Rico got royally pissed on. |
Louis Spicolli
|
Magnum, Owen, and I'll throw another one in: Droz.
|
Sean O'haire.
I was such a mark for him. I agree, Hall. Magnum TA could have been great, but Hall could and should have been one of the top 10 ever. |
You're absolutely right with O'Haire.
And, I"ll go ahead and give Noid a bj: Val Venis. |
Yeah I second the Val notion. He was really good in his feud with Rikishi back in the early 2000's I think? Pre-Split, it rocked.
Also, I think Matt Morgan couldve been so much more... |
Def Sean O Haire. I don't know why he didn't become huge. he had the look and body the E likes. Had a great character. Puzzles me.

And, in regards to O'Haire, the Devil's ADvocate character was fucking brilliant. Why they let that slip away is simply...without grounds. There is no logical reasoning behind the destruction of such an high-potential powertrain.
|
Test is a name that springs to mind in relation to this. Also Lesnar as he wasn't around aslong as he should've been. trying to think of some more..
|
Oddly enough, I'd say Waltman. He'd never be any kind of World Champion unless WWE was ABSOLUTELY desperate to put the belt on a little guy and HHH and HBK went to bat for him, but he had (maybe has) the potential to be bigger than he ever was.
I'd throw in Nick Dinsmore and Rosey too. |

Hall definatly, take out the alcohol and he woulda been a multi time world champ I reckon.

Honestly, and some may ridicule this, but Ahmed Johnson. This guy was hot in late '95 through mid '96. Sure he wasn't a great worker, but since when did that matter? |
Agree on Test
Agree on D'lo Brown Agree on Sean O'Haire Additional mention to Mark Jindrak Agree on Dean Malenko Agree on Ken Shamrock Brian Clark/Wrath Shane Douglas Mike Awesome Tajiri Konnan Vampiro |
Probably most of them.
