1 - Brock Lesnar
Was given the ultimate push: youngest WWE Champion ever, King of the Ring, Royal Rumble Winner, WrestleMania main event winner: all in less than three years. Kurt Angle can't even compare to that. The Rock can't compare to that. The Undertaker can't compare to that. No one can. Lesnar was going to be the biggest star in the WWE, and a main event runner for a long time to come. Instead, he left the company, and his push was completely wasted.

2 - Rob Van Dam
The reasons said above; he was major over, the biggest star of the Alliance, and was buried into mid-carderdom forever more.

3 - Chris Jericho
Given the WCW Title and made to look like a bitch with it. Given the Undisputed Championship and made to look like a bitch with it, playing second fiddle to the Stephanie/Triple H garbage leading up to WrestleMania X-8. Fucking arguments over a dog - Jesus Christ.

4 - Matt Hardy
I don't even want to begin with how big he could have been if they had done the angle right, instead of those blatant and obvious attacks and getting jobbed like a pussy punk bitch who doesn't belong in a wrestling ring in his first match back.

5 - Booker T
I really feel that if he had cleanly won the World Title from Triple H at XIX, Booker T would be in a much better position today than he is now. That was his match, he needed to win that match, it would've been the absolute pinnacle of his career. But no. They waste it on a fucking Ric Flair run in, and a series of matches between HHH and Kevin Nash that nobody wanted to see.
