Who is the greatest wrestler to not go anywhere?
IE: Great all-around but never really made anything of themselves in the business.

This is a great topic. What would you consider "going nowhere" though? I need a little more criteria

Someone who got juggled around and never really found a focus, eventually fading into obscurity.

I'd say Shane Douglas, or other ECW alumn. Of course, someones going to argue that they did go somewhere and made their mark.
A guy like Kanyon comes to mind, even though I was never a big fan. |

I'm gonna need some more time to think about this, but let me just say now that I wish Muhammad Hassan would have been able to continue.

According to EWR, Lash Leroux is a super talented guy. I don't remember too much of his WCW work, but I do know he's nowhere now. Is he actually that good?

Ohhh yeah, Just Joe was a great character. Really wish they would have ran with it.
Also, let me just go ahead and say Joey Abs. |

In a way Kane.
Think about his career, he is now on the short stretch before retirement, so what has he done. |

I kind of feel bad for saying this, but Owen Hart. Such a talented guy who was always overshadowed by Bret. Still had a long career ahead of him

The gimmick was much more than cheap heat. If people would have actually listened to his first promos, he really should have been a face in peoples eyes. They started playing him differently though when Daivari started shouting in Farsi, though. If they would have stuck on the original path and The CW didn't bitch out, I think Muhammad Hassan would have had a great run. |

I always thought Brian Pillman could have been Stone Cold before Steve Austin came along. It's just a shame that he never had the opportunity to become a superstar.

If by "not go anywhere" you mean never a top title run, no long main event run, not really given the opportunity to be a top top guy, then I'll say Mr. Perfect.
