Definitely Carlito. I don't remember exactly when it was, but I recall seeing him come out and totally Punk Cena out, something along the lines of "everybody in the back hates you, and I'm taking a stand on it." He had the best look he ever had, with the longer hair and a pointy little beard/moustache combo. The man has talent that looks effortless, but for whatever reasons he's never really put it out there. If he had any kind of driving passion he would probably have been a world champion, since he draws in crowds with ease. He's honestly the one guy in the past 20 years that I really feel could have been a mega-star if he wanted to put in the effort.
I also agree with Kendrick, I just don't know if he would have been the sure thing Carlito would. I'd also throw Brock Lesnar into the mix. As much as he did accomplish, he could have been even bigger if he hadn't left when he did. I'm not one to blame WWE, but if he hadn't gotten so much so fast he could have ruled the company for years. His early matches with Cena were excellent, and I'd love to see what they could have done a few years down the road. I'd also have loved to see him go up against the Orton we know today, Jerichi, HHH and HBK in high-level programs.
