Top 5 "pushes" in last 5 yrs that could have went somewhere.....but didn't

5: Matt Hardy Return - This was probably the first time since the Rock did his concerts that i actually had that adrenaline coming through me because of something on wrestling. Personally, this push didn't go anywhere, and with the recent news (Hardy asked to come out with jobbers), i don't think it ever will.

4: Booker T (pre-Wrestlemania 19 i think) - This was Booker's, to me, last good chance of ever getting that deserved title run. He was getting good pops, in good shape and health and fans were actually looking forward to it. But, thanks to unmentionables,

that was cut short and probably will never happen again.

3: Jerry Lynch in the WWE/RVD - Should i say more? Wasted GREAT talent. I guess the WWE always had a bad vibe about ECW/WCW guys. Just because they had loyalty to their ex-job(s). If you ask me, both these guys, if pushed right, could have made some memorable World Title/Intercontinental Title matches.

2: Christian/Kane - Some won't agree with these two being tied, but all can agree with me when i say "What the hell were you guys thinking WWE?!" Kane, when the mask was taken off, could've probably had a decent title reign. With him defeating people like Triple H, Flair, Big Show, HBK and other treats, he could have established himself as a GREAT heel and could've set up a good PPV meeting with someone like Jericho, Angle, HBK, etc. Christian....

....Charisma, good in-ring skills, GREAT mic skills (probably the best when he was there) and just all around excellent talent. Sort of reminds me of Brian Westbrook of the Eagles. He's basically the main guy you need to concentrate on, and you have trouble paying him.

Wasted...

1: Chris Jericho (World Title Reign...UNDISPUTED no less) - People in that company blame Jericho for not "carrying the ball". Well, when you have the likes of the n.W.o. returning, and Triple H returning from injury, i don't think even The Rock could've done any better than Jericho. It was unfair and basically has been Jericho's career: Unfair. The guy had crowds yelling as loud, if not, louder than the Rock/SCSA's entrances, so that has to be my #1. A damn shame.

Well, you guys got any?? Comments, Suggestions, Opinions, whatever!
