Most of these guys never did. This is more so a thread about guys who were pushed to that next level and failed either because, they weren't ready, just a fued filler, the newest guy they had, etc.

Come to think of it, Nathan Jones never had a main event push in the WWE did he?

The way they booked it the second time around was much, much better.
Word they guy last from the #1 spot ate the rumble beats Kurt and Randy twice, then jobs for the rest of the time he holds the belt then says I quit to chavo

I know but I felt the role and push he was given was fine.

It's obviously Hardcore Holly. He was the clear most WTF Royal Rumble WWE Title match in history.

Though at the Royal Rumble the title matches are secondary to the Royal Rumble Match itself.

For non-Royal Rumble Title Matches:

-Big Boss Man Vs. The Big Show for the WWF Championship was pretty bad at the December 2000 PPV.

-The Patriot Vs. Bret Hart (C) At Ground Zero.

-David Arquette.

Would you include Orton in there as well, circa 2004? He failed pretty miserably. I know it wasn't his fault, but I don't think the company was ready to get behind him at that point.

Would Morrison count since he had just 2 weeks and 1 match with his push against the Miz?

The title match itself was good on Raw but probably would have been better to save the idea for a later date if Orton was going to be the one who faced the Miz for the real feud.

Both Orton and Morrison are fine where they're at. Orton's initial push was to test him and clearly in the BIG PICTURE, I'd say it paid off.

As for Morrison, this is his test phase. It's pretty apparent the guy can go, and I see him winning a major title this year, so I'd say it's too early to say Morrison's main event push isn't/wasn't worthy.

I'm wondering if Kofi should be up there? They were backing him hugely last year in the main event against Orton, and then his push kind off fizzled out. Same could be said about Evan Bourne really, but to say neither of those guys were deserving would be a bit much.

Rey Mysterio should be on that list. Good person and all, but I've seen the 619 too many times than I wanted to in my lifetime. I'm sure I speak for a lot of ppl when I say that the 619 is the most cheesiest finishing move today in the game.

Now if he turned heel that would be awesome. Put some big guys and make a stable with him pointing his finger and destroying the Smackdown roster and have the big guys hold the wrestler in place so he can do the kiick to the face and make it more believable. That's wishing too much I guess.

I dont believe that for one second. If not for Hogan, someone else would have come along and done the exact same thing. You never know, that guy could have actually been a GOOD WRESTLER and a GOOD PERSON. Maybe have more than a leg drop, powerslam, and a silly hulk-up-because-im-invincible-after-I-get-the-crap-beat-out-of-me move. Hogan is a sad, pathetic excuse for a human being, and a wrestler. That is why I believe he fits perfectly on this list.

People paid to see the leg drop, powerslam, and a silly hulk-up-because-im-invincible-after-I-get-the-crap-beat-out-of-me move, im not a Hogan mark but why should he be a spot monkey if he doesnt have to be, he didnt need to kill himself to get over. And he could do more than that if needed, just watch his stuff from Japan.

I agree... he put asses in the seats but that is not what we are debating here. I am simply stating that I do not believe he deserved the original first push back in the 70s. IMO he did not deserve. I believe that the spot of "Father of modern wrestling" should belong to someone more deserving.

I think Mysterio definitely deserved his push. He's talented and I liked when he won the World Title in 06. I know that alot of people didn't like his main event push, but he was the worst booked champion ever. He never won a non-title match and I think he retained at one PPV before losing to Booker T. I don't know if Rey would work as a heel. I think he's a natural face. they tried turning him heel in WCW and it didn't really work.

I'm with you on this one. I don't get how he is a bad person either. I am a big Hogan fan and I really don't care what people say about him. Alot of my favorite matches actually are Hogan matches. People can't deny that he has had some great matches over the years in both WWE and WCW. I think he had enough ability to carry a decent match and deserved his spot. True Vince could have chosen anybody to fill that role, but he had the charisma and the ability despite what people say. Randy Savage in my opinion is the only other guy that fit the bill for that. Savage had better talent of course, but I just always liked Hogan and am in the minority of his supporters. He's one of my favorites of all time. He seems like a nice person too. He treats the fans well and that is really all that matters to me.

I have had the "pleasure" of meeting hogan on 4 different occasions. Each time he was a total dick. didn't look the fans in the eyes, didnt talk, rushed the autographs, autographs were barley legible, I tried to shake his hand and get a pic.. he said no pics and he does not shake hands... and the time I saw him in the airport I attempted to say hi and he looked at me like I told him to fuck off. The first time I met him I was 9. Thats when I tried to get a pic and he said no. But that was just my experience with him.
This is what I can compile off the top of my head.
1 he cant wrestle
2 hes arrogant beyond belief
3 hes a douchebag in real life
4 he was seen buying his underage son beer
5 his daughter is turning into a k-mart whore
6 he ruined WCW ( not singlehandedly )
7 he spent his whole career jacked up on steroids
8 most pathetic legdrop ever ( jumps 2 feet )

1. Watch his stuff from Japan before you judge him on his wrestling style. He wrestled a certain way in WWF because it was sports entertainment and in WCW because he was getting older. He did Alberto Del Rio's cross-arm-breaker in one of the youtube videos online.

2. It's called being a self-promoter. It's a part of being on top of real professional wrestling companies. Professional Wrestling is about selling yourself to the fans, so you have to be as flamboyant as possible.

5. He's not fully responsible for what his daughter does you could also blame his mom or the industry SHE chose to be a part of.

6. Not really. If anything he and the nWo brought WCW to new heights of awesomeness. Then the ratings fell and they paninied and brought in Vince Russo. Without Hogan and the nWo WCW wouldn't have rose to the heights that they did.

7. Who wasn't on steroids in the 80s and 90s in pro wrestling?

8. Whatever it was over. The Worm sucks, the Peoples Elbow Sucks, the Olympic Slam Sucks. It doesn't matter the moves are over as shit. If you can make a move that is over that doesn't hurt your opponet that is the goal in wrestling. Honky Tonk Man said that he loved wrestling with Hogan because he NEVER hurt him. Other wrestlers like Warrior hurt him because they thought they were legit badasses. Hogan was a professional in the ring just like Bret Hart.

A push that shouldn't have happened?

Legit though, Rey Mysterio. Don't know why he got the push instead of Chavo.

as much as people may not like it...or hate me for it...was a waste of TV time and good storyline material to push someone else but Jeff Hardy's quick and not so long WWE and WHC title runs. The man was a waste of time as he ended up leaving the company and looking at his time in TNA and his disgusting in ring performance at the end of WWE and in TNA now, to say he leaves something to be desired and is robbing the fans of a great performance by better in ring and sober performers is an UNDERSTATEMENT.

-Big Boss Man: a title shot in a extremely dumb storyline and the match itself lasted about 90 seconds (no joke)
-Abyss: debatable probably but hear me out-he only won the belt on a DQ and I highly doubt he will ever get the belt again at the level he is currently at.
-Maven that one night after winning Survivor Series and was GM for the night. Two weeks later, he pretty much was a jobber and a heel...?

Also, when did Billy Gunn actually get a WWE Title shot?

Not sure he did but winning king of the ring is usually a precursor also he had Main Event feuds i.e. with The Rock

I'm in total agreement with whoever said Bubba Ray Dudley after the brand split. Unbelievably terrible push and whoever it was on the writing team that thought he could be taken as a legit main eventer must've been getting blowjobs from Bubba Ray or something.

I still feel like Batista was pushed to the main event too early, and got his big WrestleMania victory too soon in his career. WrestleMania 21 should have been Orton versus Triple H and it should've been their first singles match of their feud with Randy getting the win. Yes, we got some cool moments like Batista powerbombing Triple H through a table during the contract signing, but Batista's first promo after WM21 is still, in my opinion, one of the absolute worst, most awkward and poorly delivered "RAW opener" promos in history, and his first run with the belt was easily forgettable. He was bound to be a main eventer eventually, but I think it happened too soon when he wasn't ready to carry the ball.

I also want to agree with Jeff Jarrett in WCW. He was a good worker and everything but he wasn't anywhere near the level of main event heel that WCW needed in order to attempt to compete with the WWF's stacked main event roster. Aside from his Spring Stampede 2000 match with DDP, I can't remember a single JJ World Title match that I enjoyed during his WCW career. "Slapnuts" was funny and everything, but the guy was US Title contender at best.

And y'know clearly it was gonna be Brock at one point

but I consider us as fans lucky for winding up with Cena where Brock comes of like a whiny dick who takes his ball and goes home to his "sell by date past" wife sometimes, Cena is entertaining inside the ring and From all accounts a great human being outside the ring who genuinely loves his job

Hes not half the wrestler Brock is but who really gives a fuck its PG.

Actually, I don't think that his push should have happened when it did. Personally, I think JBL should have retained at WrestleMania and dropped the WWE Title off to Cena at Judgment Day, or something. That's what I was thinking at the time, anyway.

The Great Khali is another that comes to mind. Kane was all set up to be Edge's challenger, and was a big man that really could have used the World Heavyweight Title at that point in time. Kane has been known to turn down pushes and such, but Khali was just a weird choice. He doesn't feel like a former World Heavyweight Champion, despite his size.

Rey Mysterio's push was earned by Rey's abilities, but the timing and execution of it was just one big miscalculation on the WWE's part. Chavo Guerrero or Chris Benoit would have been more logical candidates to give the "Eddie push" at the time.

I think Cena and Batista rose so quickly for two reasons; Brock left and the Orton face turned flopped.

Had Brock stayed, he would have a few programs left on SmackDown!, and a move to Raw that never happened. Matches/programs with the likes of Triple H, Shawn Micheals, Booker T, etc.

Orton's mishandled face turned was a hige set back. Instead of either keeping him heel and dumping Triple H to build towards a possible Mania 21 title match, or going with the face turn and keeping all the characterisitcs that made him popular in the first place and letting him run with the belt, they rushed a turn and took the belt off of him after a month and he became main event fodder.

As for Rey, yes, Benoit would've been a good choice for the role, but it's not even the role I have a problem with. Mysterio's work ethic and popularity were more than deserving of his Mania win. It was the way they built up the storyline. They made it all about Eddie. And while dedicating a win to someone is fine, you can't expect giving someone such a blatantly shallow push to go over effectively. Not to mention, his booking post Mania was atrocious.

I also don't think Chavo was the guy for the role. At all. You can try to make all the arguments you want, but Chavo was never, at any point, believeably over with the fans. Yes, he can work. Yes, being Eddie's nephew and closest relative should've made am easy transition into the role, but Chavo was over enough to get that spot and make it believeable that after a career of jobbing and never doing better than a cruiserweight title, he could win a big match at Mania. He just wasn't booked that way. Not entirely his fault, but still.
