I'm in total agreement with whoever said Bubba Ray Dudley after the brand split. Unbelievably terrible push and whoever it was on the writing team that thought he could be taken as a legit main eventer must've been getting blowjobs from Bubba Ray or something.

I still feel like Batista was pushed to the main event too early, and got his big WrestleMania victory too soon in his career. WrestleMania 21 should have been Orton versus Triple H and it should've been their first singles match of their feud with Randy getting the win. Yes, we got some cool moments like Batista powerbombing Triple H through a table during the contract signing, but Batista's first promo after WM21 is still, in my opinion, one of the absolute worst, most awkward and poorly delivered "RAW opener" promos in history, and his first run with the belt was easily forgettable. He was bound to be a main eventer eventually, but I think it happened too soon when he wasn't ready to carry the ball.

I also want to agree with Jeff Jarrett in WCW. He was a good worker and everything but he wasn't anywhere near the level of main event heel that WCW needed in order to attempt to compete with the WWF's stacked main event roster. Aside from his Spring Stampede 2000 match with DDP, I can't remember a single JJ World Title match that I enjoyed during his WCW career. "Slapnuts" was funny and everything, but the guy was US Title contender at best.
