Wasted WWE Talent

[Bretski]

I know there's been plenty of talk about wasted talent in the WWE, but I'd just like to see a list of guys you think are being vastly under-used, heres my list:

Shelton Benjiman (obviously): He is perfect in the ring and can do things most other guys can't.

Stevie Richards: He was awesome in the attidude era, doesnt look like he's aged one bit, can still go alright

Marcus Cor Von: Watched this guy on ECW this morning and he was amazing, hope to see more of him

Elija Burke: Same as above

Kenny Dykstra: I just love this guys leg drop, he gets so much height, and hopefully soon will get a well deserved push

Jonny Nitro: Same reasons and Shelton, he's just a champ.

Jimmy Wang Yang: cos "he's my boy"

Carlito: We have seen what this guy can do.

Its sad to see a list like this either being under-used or wasted on ECW while people like Kahli, umaga, lashley and batista are being over-used. I just hope these guys will be pushed when the time is right for them.

Honourable Mentions to: Regal, Cade/Merdoch, Duece/Domino, Val Venis and Mickey James

 

[Suckerpunch]

The only one of these guys that are ever gonna get a push is Monty Brown, seeing as though any hack with a few power moves(Batista,Kali,Cena,Lashley) can get into the main event scene.

Of them all, i'd love to see Carlito turn heel and get a push. Is solid in the ring and gold on the mic.

I was a HUGE wrestling fan growing up, right up until Vince bought WCW and ECW. At first I thought it would be a good thing, but I can't even watch wrestling anymore because I think Vince has wasted his own talent.
I just feel it's gotten to 'clean' and 'pretty boy' by nature. I loved wrestling when it was more about the story, the gimmick and the theater. People like The Undertaker, Sting, Cactus Jack, Jake Roberts, Brett Hart etc.
It seems that fitness and looking good are more important than the raw physical drama I used to love.

RIP WWF.

tyson tomko - given a few years could have been huge

Nearly every single tag team is being wasted in WWE, besides the ever-growing boring Kindrich and London.
Deuce & Domino are awesome, and are being held back, although by the looks of it, they might be getting another push.
Cade & Murdoch are one of the best tag teams and rarely get a match on RAW.
WGTT... why were they reformed? They've hardly done anything since their reunion, and in the process it has only further held Shelton back.
Carlito is also being wasted as a face, but this is because he has a bad attitude so he is in the doghouse. Needs to get his head right.
Nitro is definitely being wasted, one of my favourites, could be anything. Just needs to improve his mic skills.

Huge fan of Nitro, can't believe he and Shelton weren't in the ladder match. Hopefully now Mercury is gone they will give Nitro the big singles push he deserves.

 

[unit27]

Wasted talent:
Shelton Benjamin (great athlete, give him another IC title push)
Gregory Helms (got a run with the c.w belt, use him more)
Sabu (legend in the old ECW)
Cade and Murdoch (should have won tag titles)
Carlito (fantastic on the mic)
Super Crazy (could become a modern day crash holly)

To utilize the talent wwe must bring back more singles titles. A couple of singles titles that come to mind are the Hardcore title and the ECW T.V title. This gives under-rated wrestlers more of a chance to prove themselves.

 

[Cleavy]

You don't need more singles titles. You just need to make better use of the ones available (IC & US).

 

[JOELY]

the less titles the better.

 

[hulld]

unify the tag titles

and maybe even the us & intercontinental titles

 

[jezza]

Nah, just create some decent stories around them. IIRC Umaga is still IC champ which is a joke. Doesn't wear the belt, doesn't defend.

When was the last time Benoit was in a decent program with someone for the US belt? Was a joke having MVP fight him at WM for it given they had no history.

Was a joke having Cena and Michaels holding the tag belts for ages as well, plenty of decent teams there that should have had it.

 

[Clayton]

Val Venis!

His pr0n star gimmick has probably gotten stale & that's the reason he mainevents heat. He did look like he was going places back in 03 with the whole chief Morley thing though?

also guys like Benoit, RVD, Sabu, Kane etc.

I'd like to see Cor Von (Monty Brown) built up after this whole new breed angle & possibly fued with Lashley. Maybe have Vince in his corner.

 

[Bretski]

I didnt even realise Val Venis was pr0n star wehn I was watching wrestling as a 10 year old, lol

 

[Rozza44]

Orlando Jordan had talent and was wasted sumthing huge

Others for me

- Shelton Benjamin
- Gregory Helms
- Snitsky


As for Kenny Dykstra, he is only 20 years old so u'd expect WWE to give him a push when the time is right. I think he will be big in the future of WWE.

Orlando Jordan was the next Norman Smiley.

 

[Bretski]

You're not saying that cos he's black are you?

 

[NeRFaHoLIc]

Lol. It was the first thing I thought when I first saw Orlando, reminded me of Norman Smiley. But no, they are just so talented. Nothing beats Norman in his prime.
Screamin' Norman Smiley!!!

I loved norMEN smiLEY and his comical in ring antics

Backlash main event will be a fatal fourway match between Cena,HBK,Edge and Orton for the WWE title. Be good if Orton or Edge won

 

[JOELY]

if orton wins anything i will stop reading results.

Yeh it deffinately looks that way. Hope so. Cena will win though. Although, I wouldn't care who won. I like all 4. Cept Cena is my #1 fav.

 

[TorresIsGod]

Quite clearly, Shelton should be WWE Champ

im a huge orton and cena. but i think cena having title for ages can get a bit boring like to see orton walk out with the gold.
