Failed wrestlers that WWE kept trying to push

Did he need to win the belt 5 days after Mania? Couldn't they have built him up after he won the briefcase? Seems to me they pushed him cos they had to (as his name was picked "out of a hat" to win MitB) and did it too soon. Booking totally screwed him. He's good in the ring and on the mic IMO.

I don't really see how the argument can be made that someone who was given the World Heavyweight Title wasn't being pushed. I won't argue that it didn't happen too soon because it most definitely did happen too soon, but that doesn't change the fact that the WWE tried to push him and it failed.
