4) Davey Boy Smith
Such a good worker, so insanely over, was even tried out in Main Event situations, but for whatever reason he just never broke through to the other side. I guess just another victim of the Hart curse...there was only enough limelight for one member of that family...

3) Scott Hall
He was great, but by the time he would have been a Main Eventer in WWE, he jumped to WCW...and by the time he got back he was a shell of his former self (though still better than most) and was lost in the shuffle of an already jam packed WWE Main Event scene. And then he couldn't stick around long enough to really benefit from the Brand Extension.

2) Diamond Dallas Page
He could work, he was charismatic, he had mic skills, he had legitimacy, he was respected, he was loved and hated by fans, he was one of the best things about WCW in it's dying years. And I'm guessing, it's the last fact that prevented him from being a Main Eventer in WWE...I guess we could add the "already full of homegrown talent" aspect to him as well...

1) Christian
How someone so talented and so effing over with the crowd is constantly overlooked by the brass at Titan Towers will forever baffle me. He's a loyal guy, well liked, a homegrown talent, doesn't cause waves, can be funny and serious...at the same time, between the ropes is easily one of the most talented workers on the roster, easily marketed, great chemistry with a number of top level guys. I mean when I sit here and try to think about it, I just can not, can not, CAN NOT figure out how he hasn't broken the glass ceiling other than to suggest he isn't personally ambitious enough to work behind the curtain to get his push. But even lacking that ambition, his work in front of the camera is so pitch perfect, I don't know how McMahon & Co can sit there and not see dollar signs shooting out of his ass. I just don't get it.
Very good selections. I would put Ken Shamrock instead of Sean Waltman for me personally as I was a huge mark for him and thought he was ahead of his time imagine if he was a big name when Angle, Benoit, Lesnar and Guerrero were there. He could have matched well with them and he had great matches with almost everybody he faced and he is a personal favorite IC champion of mine. I was so pissed after they buried him after the Undertaker feud in 1999 and his last feud was with Steve Blackman.
