Maybe people saw more obvious choices.

I would put at least 5 guys ahead of Terry Taylor from NWA/WCW pre 92 and probably at least another 5 after it.

Dan Spivey and Barry Windham for a start.

FOr real? Honestly, before he left for the WWF, Taylor was on the track to a US title win, and eventually a World title, easy.

WIndham had his time at the top...he just sucked it up. I agree with him though, he could have been special.

I think he they would have stayed off drugs and stayed in shape, Scott Hall and Jake Roberts would have been pretty epic. Yea, they had their time to shine, and they had great matches. However, when Jake Robets takes his fake teeth out before he locks up, and Scott Hall has the build of Soma Joe, that can't look good.

I still have not given up on Matt Morgan, by the way. The man is a great talker, great in the ring for his size, and is going to be on American Gladiators, and it seems the character they're going to have him play will be one that could be classified as "interesting."

Chris Jericho's return last year should have been incredible. I thought that he would have to be the top face, because he'd instantly be one of the best workers on the roster, and one of the most over. Then the WWE had him feud with JBL.

Test could have been great, and was looking like he was going to be for some time. Personally, I don't think he ever should have cut his hair. I think Test faced The Undertaker at Summerslam 2002. That is where Taker should have put Test over. In fact, there have been lots of times that Test should have received a bigger push than he did, but the WWE didn't deliver.

Matt Hardy in 2005. That shit was hot. People at school were doing the Matt Hardy hand signal. What does the WWE do? They have Edge kick Matt's ass at Summerslam, and have the referee stop the match because Matt was getting his ass kicked. It was quite ridiculous. That match should have been won by Edge, yes, but Matt should have gotten himself intentionally disqualified.

Christian in 2005 was also pretty undeniably fantastic. If the WWE had played their cards right, he would have been huge.

Rhyno in 2001 is someone I expected bigger things from. I suppose he is still a top face in TNA. But yeah, it's a shame that when he returned from his neck surgery, he lost so much momentum and sort of scrapped the Man Beast gimmick for something more "human."

Sean O'Haire was someone that, in retrospect, could have been huge. He was kind of fucked up pretty bad on SmackDown!. Now he's fat, isn't he?

Finlay could be a top bad-ass babyface right now, if the WWE had let him go Irish on JBL's ass, and win the match after killing Vince McMahon. While I doubt he ever would have been as huge as Stone Cold Steve Austin, Finlay could play a very comparable bad-ass.

Shelton Benjamin was a fantastic face on RAW. The WWE failed with him. The same thing goes, to a lesser extent, with Carlito.

Elijah Burke, during the time of the whole New Breed stuff, was someone that could have been much bigger than he is now. I hope he gets back to that level, and gets even higher.

Kane should have been bigger, and could have been bigger.

Ken Doane and Johnny Jeter from The Spirit Squad are both really talented. It is still early days for both men, and I think they are both still under contract, but I hope we do see them get places.

And lastly, I am going to throw out a mention of a man that used to be one of my favourites. When Jim Ross called Billy Gunn "arguably the toughest man pound-for-pound" in the WWE, and you're still new to the WWE product, that's someone who get invested in, a little. A lot of people think that Gunn had chances, but I'm not so sure. He was always really over, and it's not like he ever flopped. There was just never room for him in the main event, it seemed. If Gunn had stayed sober, stayed in shape, and stuck out his dark years with the WWE on SmackDown!, with guys like The Great Khali, Chavo Guerrero and Johnny Nitro winning "World Titles," I think Billy Gunn would have been more successful than he would be now in TNA.
