Oh, he'll be a relative star. They're not giving up on him, he's really good, and eventually the product will warp to fit him. His run so far has been though. If you took this Reigns, as he is, back in time it wouldn't work. There's no charisma there to sustain the position.

Mark Henry's fake retirement to ambush Cena. "I GOT A LOT MORE LEFT IN MY TANK!!!"
Soon after, he falls into the rotation of three "proud Americans" that Rusev padded his resume against (the other two being Zack Ryder and Jack Thwagger) and is barely seen on TV. |

Oh, obvious! When King Hippo went from this badass mound of monsterous "I will destroy your heroes!!!" potential to dressing like 80's LL Cool J and dancing to Ernest "The Cat" Miller's theme song with personal cheerleaders. That's the way to kill a career before it starts.

1. Regal failing that drug test when he was king of the ring and RAW GM..he was absolutely brilliant during that time period and that ruined his career.
2. Jack Swagger after his world title run. 3. DDP in WWE. |

I was at the RAW where all the doping scandal guys got written off TV. Regal & Umaga stood out the most.

I can remember at the time being disappointed. It felt like the end of an era, but when WCW closed I tried to tell myself that it would be great seeing all these guys interact.
Turns out that it was the single worst thing to happen to the wrestling business |

How about Tazz? Had about as great a debut as you can, then was virtually a nothing the rest of the way thru?

Really surprised that Daniel Bryan's injury hasn't been brought up. The build that he had to the main event was highly supported and played out well in my opinion. His injury kind of helped his legacy as he didn't have to deal with WWE ruining anything after the fact but was a huge let down to his fans.
Me personally though would be Stings WWE run. Sting is my all time favorite and I still want to see Sting vs Undertaker at Wrestlemania. While I'm glad he finally came to WWE they used a 15 year old story that was irrelevant for today. Very underwhelming in my opinion. |

Ah yes, I had converted my girlfriend to a wrestling fan the year leading up to this show, and I was hyping it up as the biggest spectacle and all that other stuff, and it fell super fucking flat outside of HBK v. Undertaker. What a shame.

Triple H sprayed his stink on the first half of the year. He just had to beat Orton at WrestleMania, because top babyfaces have to go over at Mania, right? Unless it's 2000, of course. |

Kane after unmasking and being awesome for a few weeks to then have to feud with Shane McManon and job yet another title match to Triple H.
AND WWE constantly ignoring the most over guys instead of pulling the trigger. Ryback, Ryder, Rusev, maybe they just don't like guys with R names that aren't followed by Ollins or Eigns. |

Considering he was a legit badass big name outside of wrestling, too, he should've been in the main event scene.

Think part of the reason was due to HBK and/or Triple H hating him backstage and politicked their way to hurt his chances at being a big star. Also didn't help that he sided with the Rock I think during the time Rock and HBK had their own backstage issues.

I also think he was friends with Bret backstage....or at the very least he took Bret's side...may have been a factor.

To this point Reigns has been a complete failure. They've pushed him to the moon for 3 years and he's still not their top star despite beating everyone but Lesnar. Maybe he's salvaged but to this point he's been a failure as the next main guy

Shamrock felt like a guy they were going to do more with, and then they just totally cut bait on around 1999.
