Stars who had potential but never made it or were never used right

If we can include Hunter, we can damn sure include Austin in this sense. If we're basing things around failed turns. His heel turn was pretty crappy.

But I wouldn't include Austin, because that's ridiculous. Just like including Hunter.

You're basing it on ONE YEAR. That's ridiculous compared to the rest of Hunter's career, where he's been booked strong constantly and has always been over (well, from the original DX onward, anyway).

Austin's potential was fully maximized. Hunter's was not.

The WWE capitalized on Austin's momentum. They capitalized on The Rock's momentum. The WWE did *not* capitalize on Triple H's momentum, Angle's momentum, Orton's momentum, RVD's momentum, Jericho's momentum, etc.

I am not debating whether these guys became big stars. Of course they did. I am just arguing that their potential was not maximized.....and that they could have, and should have, been SIGNIFICANTLY bigger.

Was Austin's heel character fully maximized? I think they could have done A LOT more with it.

Therefore, Austin must be on the list.
