For me: Mordecai. I think the character had tremendous potential to grow.

Million Dollar Man. It may not have fit the time frame but would have loved to have seen him win the belt and have his own corporation style stable as an active wrestler in 88.
Also Mr Perfect and Rick Rude. Genuinely believe both of these could have reached the very top in WWF.

What do you mean by fully. I think Piper, Orndorff, and DiBiase were pushed really well (I guess you could say they were pushed fully, they got over and faced the biggest guy/guys in the company) but all three of them deserved a run (even if a couple of months) with the WWF title. Piper in 85, Orndorff in 86, and DiBiase in 88/89. I always wondered what would have happened with Mr. Perfect after Summer Slam 1991 if he didn't take time off because of his back. Would he have moved into the WWF Title picture or become just another guy in the company that was well known but not in any title picture. Same with Rude, after his run with Warrior in 1990, what would he have been doing in 1991 had he not quit? As for tag teams, I really liked Power and Glory and would have liked to have seen them beat the Hart Foundation at WM7 and drop the titles to LOD at Summer Slam 91. I also would have liked to have seen what the New Foundation could have done had Anvil not been fired in early 1992. The Steiner's come to mind to, the WWF seemed to be high on them for most of 1993 but not so much by the end of 1993 and by 1994 were replaced as the top face tag team by MOM and then later the Headshrinkers. They didn't even wrestle at WM10. I think they should have gotten the LOD treatment (who were undefeated for a year and a half) just dominating teams once they won the belts from Money Inc. in the summer of 1993.

Adam Bomb (awesome gimmick, look, music, pyro, was over until killed off by the Kliq)
Razor Ramon (should have at least challenged for the world title in 95/96 if not had a run)
Lex Luger (shouldn't have dropped so far after WM10)
Vader (again killed off by the Kliq, he should have been killer and unstoppable like he was in early 90's WCW)
Flair and Savage in late 92/93. These guys were still hot and could have kept drawing, big mistake to release Flair and take Savage to commentary, look how hot they were in WCW afterwards.
I agree about Mr. Perfect but I think it was his back that kept him down every time he got close.

Luke Harper
- Early 2017 was his time to shine, he was over and in the perfect position to be in the WWE Title match at Mania, i doubt he would have won and he wouldn't have needed to, but just the rub from being in the WWE Title match at WM would have helped him. Following that he could have feuded with Orton after Wyatt was traded to RAW, or gone into the US Title picture with guys like Styles, KO & Corbin. Don't understand why WWE just dropped him completely, we ended up with a lackluster WM match for the WWE Title and a disappointing feud.
Cesaro
- He's one of the best performers and has always been popular, after he won the Andre Battle royal at WM30 and paired with Heyman, he should have been pushed to the moon. His promo's weren't great at the time but that's why Heyman was there, Cesaro wouldn't have needed to talk, just go in there and manhandle whoever he was against. I still think it would have been great to see Heyman paired with him when Brock wasn't around (Like he did with Punk), then after Lesnar squashed Cena at Summerslam, Cesaro want a shot at the title, creating a conflict between Heyman and his clients and eventually turning on Cesaro. At the time too, Cesaro was a believable threat to Lesnar and would have been awesome to see Cesaro lift up and toss him around.
Tyler Breeze
- Probably one of the best 'gimmicks' in recent years, he could have been fantastic mid card heel. He's a great wrestler and can put on a great match when given the chance, his character work is great and he definitely could haven been a solid heel for all different faces to feud with.
A couple others i can think of are
- Wade Barrett: 2010 & 2011
- Samoa Joe: 2017
- Bray Wyatt 2014 (He SHOULD have beat John Cena at WM30)
- Gallows & Anderson: 2016
- The Ascension: 2015

Vader.
Should have flattened Hall @ IYH:Good Friends..Better Enemies. but instead the departing Hall was allowed look competitive against Vince's new monster.
Shouldn't have been booked to run from HBK @ IYH:International Incident....Vader runs from Michaels...FFS.
Should have beat Michaels @ Summerslam 1996. HBK still MEs Mind Games against Mankind in a no 1 contenders match.
Should have beat Sid @ IYH:Its Time
Should have retained against HBK @ Survivors Series( needs help this time though)
Should have retained against Bret @ IYH in December( still have your Bret/HBK interaction)
Drops the strap @ RR97 to HBK.

Well theirs tons of names but one that real should have been pushed more and had a World Title run was Umaga.Dude had the monster gimmick down pat and was a hell of a big man worker in the ring.But the early part of 2007 real damaged him with the loses to Cena(their RR match is still one of the better matches of that decade) and Lashley at WM that year.After those two big loses just seemed that he was never on track again and started losing to everyone.
Would have liked to see him moved over to Smackdown after WM 23 and put into a feud with Taker over the World Title or Batista and at some point in the year got a title run.

Do not mention modern wrestlers in the classic board. If it’s in the last FIVE YEARS if doesn’t belong here. This is the only warning before this thread gets locked.

PJ, no offense man, but you are a bit too trigger happy to lock things if ONE thing gets mention about a current active superstar.
There are gonna be times where talent from today will end up on threads in the classic section, especially if we are comparing wrestlers or such.
I personally don't see the big deal if at times current stars get mentioned as long as it connects with the classic superstars that are being mentioned.

Why because I gave you guys one thread where it’s allowed to compare them in the fantasy booking/matches. This board is for classic wrestling that means there was no modern wrestling then. There’s a main board to talk anything modern in. There’s no need to have it here or then they should just do away with the classic board. |

Then why is there an Andre The Giant uses a pedigree thread on the main board?? Move it to the classic section then.

Then why is there an Andre The Giant uses a pedigree thread on the main board?? Move it to the classic section then. It should be seeing it’s just a classic wrestler. But I don’t have control to move threads off those boards just the Classics and Other Toys boards. But if you want to compare a modern wrestler to a legend/old school wrestler it should be on the modern board. But if people continue to do it here I will continue to move them (when I am on my tablet) or just lock them (when I am on my phone) this is the Classic board for people who want to talk about Classic wrestling. Hell, it should be more than 5 years, but I feel that’s too much to make modern and stick on marino13 to moderate. The rules are there yet it’s normally the same people who think it’s ok for them to ignore them. And if I let them do it then others will as well making this another modern board. |
