    British Bulldog not a big deal? Maybe because he didn't hold WWF title I assume. Terry Andrews was in a car accident so I see that's why. Blitzkrieg with a good lucha style and I agree with Raven.

    Agrees with Mark Jindrak, Raven & Bam Bam. Magnum TA was in an accident. Bulldog was a big star as he could be I believe. Mike Awesome....they may have a point with him. Huge, skilled, athletic, Vince's ? . Candido was going nowhere fast, neither was Red Rooster or Dr. Tom. They were all tainted with ? gimmicks.

    Hakushi is a surprise addition, as is Blitzkrieg. I didn't think WWE knew Blitzkrieg existed.

    Sean Ohaire coulda been Brocktista. Dude was amazing imo in his first few years especially in WCW teaming up with Jindrak. Jindrak is actually huge in mexico last time i checked.

    Some died early : Texas Tordano, Pillman, The Wall (WCW)/Malice (TNA)

    Some got screwed by poor storylines: Hassan

    Some never reached it due to their own fault or management just never wanted them to be the top guy so kept implanting excuses of not wanting it bad enough to the ICW.. I like to call it politics: Shelton, Morrison, Matt Morgan, Elix Skipper

    Some ? just didnt have the heart for it to make a long enough impact: Heidenrich, *Nathan Jones

    Some chose family over the business: Monty Brown, Sonny Siaki

    *I dunno some people argue that Nathan Jones sucked tho but imo he looked cool as ? doing those Karate moves at his size.

    Chris Candido failed to get because the gave him that ? blond gimmick.
    Sean o Haire had a decent push in 2003
    Raven was buried like most ecw stars in the WWE
    Blitzkrieg left the business too early

    Kerry von Erich (Texas Tornado) only had one foot and drug issues...if he had come to the Fed sooner....man I don't think Warrior would have had a chance in hell of being more over than him.

    I'm surprised Rick Rude isn't on here. Despite winning a world title in WCW he deserved one in the Fed too. Dude was carrying Warrior ? ass to some pretty good matches. He had everything Vince was looking for.


    I'm also peeved that Perfect wasn't mentioned, everybody and they mama that was a wrestling fan knows he and DiBiase should have been World Champions in the Fed.

    I think Mr.perfect not being wwf champion is the one that really ? me off the most.

    The weird son of Dusty Rhodes was world champion material from 96-98 imo.

    I think like jake the snake, for perfect it fit that he never was champion......but he shoulda been competing in matches for it....against bret, Shawn etc.....but his back injury really ? his career and life ultimately up

    O'Haire had always made me think about Batista, not only did they kinda look alike but it seems like WWE kinda gave Dave the push that Sean could of got.

    Always expected Chuck Palumbo to go places in WWE. When him and O'haire were tag teaming they wont a bad team but I was looking for him to break out on the singles scene too but they ? that dude over with that Billy & Chuck ? , then had the nerve to bring him back as with a rip off of Takers bad ass gimmick using just the name "Chuck" I remember they turned him heel after like a month n a half and then he just vanished.

    And after the years he spent in the WWE I was surprised they never done ? with ? Holly. Maybe they felt they owed him after he got his neck broke so they threw him in a short feud with Brock Lesnar when Brock was the champ & on the rise, I remember Holly beating brocks ass but never getting that win even though I wanted him to.

    ? Holly is a charisma vacuum. I think even with the longevity he had nobody cared about him that much. He had a few botched pushes though. His ECW push was shot in the ass before it started. For that that don't remember:
    Holly had his back slashed open in a match on WWECW vs RVD (Holly was a heel), he got incredibly over afterwards (face pops) and Vince forced Heyman to turn him heel again. This was all leading up to that December to Dismember ? .
