Pretty much agree with Xero's opening post here. There were a few spots where he had HUGE moments but they never seemed to fully capitalize on them.
His debut was massive and could have sparked a fued with one of the biggest names to ever set foot in the industry, instead he went on to fued with Road Dogg and then Chyna.
He had the huge Reversed Title Win on Raw and a follow-up Last Man Standing Match with HHH...which he lost.
Even being made the first Undisputed Champion turned kinda sour as the fued became about HHH and Stephanie and his Mania Main Event was overshadowed by Hogan/Rock.
For me, he became a "Go To Guy" or a guy they could put the title on at any point when he won the WHC as a late entrant in the Championship Scramble Match at Unforgiven 2008. That coincided with the long-running fued he had with Michaels.
(Of course, that reign involved dropping the title to Batista before winning it back and losing it to Cena is Cena's return match from a 3 month lay-off so it's not all good).
Just seemed to me that adding him as a last minute replacement and having him win said "this guy could win it at any moment".
