Yeah, Chuck Palumbo got a few shots there.
I’d throw Billy Kidman, Rey Mysterio (although not initially brought in), Fit Finlay and Hugh Morrus into that conversation too. Morrus mainly for that backstage role he was given that they had to take away from him. Finlay and Kidman for their agent roles too, but they both had notable on-screen runs. Kidman several championships and never really “embarrassed” — Finlay was at several WrestleManias and was used as a player/coach.
Not to rain on everyone’s parade, but I really do think it was more a talent/attitude thing that kept guys like O’Haire and Jindrak back. Freak athletes (it’s why the got the chance in the first place), but it never came together. Anyone remember “The Reflection of Perfection” Mark Jindrak? Team Angle Mark Jindrak? Yeah…
