I am going for The Pug, looking back now I think they could have done way more with him as a "wrestling machine" and perhaps that could have brought out his personality.

Alex ''The Pug'' Porteau
Before we get into his WWF run, I gotta mention the success he had in GWF as he is a former 4x Light Heavyweight Champion.He would also have a little run in WWC where he would hold both their TV and Junior Heavyweight Titles respectively.It all went downhill for em though when he went to the Federation. He would first join em in 94 and right away was put into the jobber role with no wins under his belt. He would come back in 96 but this time they gave em a gimmick in the form of the ''Pug''. He would wear college wrestling tights plus on top of that they would recycle the old Steiners theme for him. Again this run was pretty much him in the jobber role with him losing to guys like Farooq,Sultan,Mankind etc.He would have a brief tag run with Bob Holly but that didn't go anywhere.He would leave the WWF in early 97 with him going to WCW as himself but once again would find himself in the jobber role.I believe this was the end for him in mainstream wrestling as I don't recall ever seeing him again after this.
Overall... Shame WWF put em in the jobber role as I would've like to seen what he could've did with this gimmick.I think him in the underdog role would've been entertaining.Similar to Barry Horowitz a year prior.
What are your memories of The Pug? Share them below!

Kurt Angle said he wanted to be in pro wrestling after turning on Raw in 1998 and getting hooked right away. Its a good thing he wasnt watching 2 years earlier after he had won the gold medal and the company offered him a contract, because if he had seen Alex the Pug and his collegiate wrestling gimmick, he probably would never sign with the company, LOL.

Even back then I thought that a serious wrestler character had a lot of potential. It is weird that he never really did anything, but I have always remembered watching the dude on stuff like Superstars.

The pug has to be one of the worst names for a wrestler ever!
