For me the 00's decade will be remembered as the decline in wrestling, but ofcourse has had it's amazing moments and given us enough moments to reminds us why we keep watching and love the WWE. Here is a list of stuff I believe they have dropped the ball on.
MVP
He could have been the next big star, John Cena & The Rock level. Had everything, the gimmick, the look, the mic skills, the in-ring skill, shown he was over whether face or heel, actually amazing how bad they screwed up on him and he still was over as hell. He came on the scene in 2006 as the "Highest Paid Smackdown Superstar Ever" and was put in a feud with Kane, which was a good fued and gave us matches like the Inferno Match they had at Armaggedon 2006. Fast forward to 2007, his matches with Chris Benoit was when everyone took notice, MVP kept up with arguably the best technical wrestler of our time, and finally winning the US title and keep it up until around 2008 I believe and became the longest reigning WWE United States Champion. In that title reign we saw the great feud with Matt Hardy, in which he also won the tag titles with and was "Half Man, Half Amazing" with holding both the tag team & US titles. But doomsday came, WWE decided to put MVP on a losing streak, and lost god knows how many matches until he finally broke the streak by believe, I believe it was, Triple H. Then he went on to win the US title again, drafted to RAW and then that's when it was all over, after a promising start putting then WWE Champion Randy Orton on notice, something happened, they took the belt off him, and everyone thought that then they were going to push him, but no, instead teamed with Mark Henry and has never recovered since, two months ago he requested his release and wish was granted, such a shame.
The Dudebusters & Cryme Time
-First off with Cryme Time, these guys were pretty much a tag team for 4 years in the WWE, and never won the tag titles, and were the most over tag team they had. I think they were only given two tag title shots in their whole run. And the Dudebusters, man, what talent there huh, both men great in ring, OOZING in charisma, they really could have been a modern day Edge & Christian. Funny on the mic, while still mainting a serious role in the ring, which is rare these days as you only seeing, a serious competitor or a joke competitor like Santino. Both these teams could have been the foundation to the new generation of WWE & it's tag team division.
Lets look at tag teams that could have been kept around while both these teams reached the highest they reached, and let's see if they were kept around how different things would be today, there was . .
The Dudebusters
Hart Dynasty
The Colons
Cryme Time
Gatecrashers (Hawkins & Archer)
The Uso's
Priceless
Santino & Kozlov
That's 8 teams that we could have today going at it. But no what do we have? 2, the Uso's & Santino/Kozlov who have fought already around 10 times, and only once have the Uso's won . . .
