I felt WWE did Barrett a real disservice early in his career. First off I think he should have been a bigger deal than he was coming out of the Nexus angle, which in and of itself could have been built into a marquee Mania program rather than Cena systematically killing the group as constructed within a month of being "fired". And then after an injury they spent weeks building him up as a badass bareknuckle fighter only to make him a standard chickenshit heel within two weeks of his return.
I don't fault WWE for not doing much of importance with him the rest of his career beyond that, his body just betrayed him constantly so I couldn't blame WWE for just treading water with him after that. Great talker though.
And Sandow...man what a waste. The guy oozed charisma and wasn't a slouch in the ring. The crowd got so red hot for him as Mizdow and I think he could have springboarded from that into a regular contender for one of the midcard belts, at the worst. Barely ever using him on TV after Mizdow ended was criminal.
