In no particular order, of the list they named, I agree with these...
-Magnum TA -Chris Candido -Bam Bam Bigelow -Terry Taylor (NOT as the Red Rooster though) -British Bulldog -Jindrak & O'Hair (As a tag team only, they sucked as Singles guys)

Not on the list but Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard were wasted during 1988/89 stint and could have been used better.
Also Ric Flair in 1992, after his WM8 title loss, his star began to fade, was gone 9 months later, was not a patch on his WCW career.

I completely agree with Bam Bam, Magnum TA, Raven, Davey Boy and Saturn. On a side note, did anyone notice Andre in the background of Davey Boy's picture? When was that photo taken?

Saturn tops the list for me since I remember seeing him have some really great singles and tag matches in ECW where he could wrestle every style from technical to brawler to high flyer. So much potential that was completely wasted in WCW and WWE.

Bam Bam Bigelow WAS just about to be a huge star. He even main evented WM11, but he got pissed off with the Kliq constantly trying to sabotage him so he left.
The Bulldog should have definately been bigger. They had so many opportunities to give him the world title in 92, 93, 95 and 96 but they didn't bother.
I also agree with Candido, Hakushi and Saturn. I've never seen much of Magnum TA but I've heard good things about him. I couldn't disagree more with Terry Taylor and Tom Prichard. They may have been OK at best in the ring and neither had a shred of charisma, they didn't have the potential to be that big.
Jim Neidhart should be on this list. He had the potential to be a huge "monster" heel. So should Owen Hart, X-Pac, Billy Gunn, Lex Luger, Tatanka, Scott Hall and Jake Roberts.

Jim Neidhart was too small to be a monster heel.
Bigelow, Bundy, Quake, Kamala, Studd, Vader, Akeem/OMG, Andre, Giant. They are all proper monster heels and miles bigger than Anvil.
Luger was wasted by WWF, Hall & Jake, while great were also untrustworthy due to their addictions.

Neidhart was big, but lean enough to also be a good wrestler unlike guys like Bundy and Akeem.

- Badd Ass Billy Gunn - Scott Hall/Razor Ramon - British Bulldog - Curt Hennig/Mr. Perfect - Roddy Piper - Bryan Clark/Wrath
Another question: How in the hell did Jeff Jarrett and The Miz make it to the top but said superstars did not? Makes no sense.

Makes no sense. Jeff Jarrett is a great worker, I think he gets a lot of unnecessary hate. I also think Crush could have been a top heel in 94, the guy was strong (he could bench 800lbs), tall and had the look and talent to be a major player.

Wow asking how Jarrett and Miz made it further than Billy Gunn. Come on Miz's promos are worlds better than anything Billy Gunn has ever done, and Jarrett was much better in ring and on the mic than Gunn.
Hell if we're going to name guys who could've been world champion I could've sooner seen Arn Anderson being World champion as a member of the Horsemen than I could Billy Gunn

Sean O Haire and Mark Jindrak for me.
I could never undertsnad at the time why the Evolution faction was dissolved when Batista left.Jindrak and O Haire should have been put in there IMO.O Haire may have been gone but Jindrak wasnt.
also agree with Bigelow and Awesome.oh Mike.....why didnt you go to Vince in 2000?

A lot of those guys COULD have made it bigger if the 'E had cared to push them properly. Raven? A character like him was MADE for the company. I see an article like this and it's just a slap in the face to a lot of those guys. They say "Yeah they should've been bigger...", but if that's so, why were the majority of those listed let go because "creative had nothing for them"?

I actually hope you're trolling, because nobody could be that stupid.
