This decade. Who do you think WWE has screwed up with most since 2000? Personally, I think it's:
1. Rob Van Dam
2. Matt Hardy (he was so over when he returned to feud with Edge, then they just pushed him into nothingness)
3. Kane (when he was unmasked his feuds ruled, he could have had a good long title run, but instead got Snitsky)
4. Brian Kendrick (he can wrestle circles around the whole roster)
5. Raven
6. Shelton Benjamin
7. Christian
8. Kevin Nash (was never given his Big Sexy character, could have gotten much more over)
9. Charlie Haas
10. Scott Steiner (sure he sucks, but he could have at least been seen as a threat)

RVD could easily been WWF Champion or WCW Champion during the whole invasion angle in 2001. If they would have had RVD Vs. Austin headline a PPV, it would have been gold. Van Dam was, and is extremely over.

They should have had RVD win the title at No Mercy 01 where they had the triple therat with Austin and Angle they could have had RVD pin Angle thus not really afecting Austins character. Even if it was just for a few weeks with Austin then winning it back before Survivor Series I think it really could have put him on that next level.

In no particular order:
1. Raven; Quite possibly ECW's greatest character turned into a nobody.
2. Rob Van Dam; Sure he screwed himself towards the end, but the WWE never gave him the chance he truly deserved.
3. Justin Credible; He got such a great crowd reaction and would've made such a great heel champion.
4. Christian; He could've been as big as Edge is now. Towards the end of his time in the WWE, the fans loved him, even though he was one of SmackDown!'s biggest heels.
5. Sean O'Haire; Such a great character who was good in the ring. He should've been 2003's MVP.
6. Brock Lesnar; One of WWE's greatest over the past five or so years.
7. Kane; Around the time when he unmasked, they failed to take advantage of it, and instead of making him the new unmasked Kane, he was just Kane without a mask.
8. Tazz; Again, another ECW legend turned into nothing.
9. Billy Kidman; One of the greatest Cruiserweights of all time. Sure he had a nice title reign, but after his feud with London--which he was victorious in--they did absolutely nothing with him.
10. Shannon Moore; During or after his days as an MFer he should've been wearing Cruiserweight gold. When he came to ECW his two months worth of promos led to nothing.

1. Lance Storm- best pure wrestler on the roster and they gave him that damn "serious" gimmick. could've been one of the best heels and had good matches with anyone
2. RVD- should've been world champ sooner
3. Christian- let him go too soon
4. Regal & Taylor- reforming the blue bloods would have been a HUGE boost for the tag team division
5. Mark Jindrak- "The Reflection of Perfection" was an awesome gimmick
6. The Whole "Invasion"angle- there was so much more they could have done with this. at least 2 years worth of fun stories, etc. and it lasted only a few months
7. Sean O'Haire- awesome worker, great "evil" look
8. Tazz- one of ECW's top stars and was WASTED
9. Mr Perfect (his return at the royal rumble)- he should have been IC champ again
10. Chris Masters should be the SD world champ right now at least.
the Masterlock should never have been broken

I'm not gonna name 10 because they've all more than likely been mentioned but one man I would name is Gregory Helms. He was extremely over as The Hurricane, one of the biggest fan favourites, so his heel turn could have been huge. Yet his transformation from Hurricane and Helms happened over a mixture of Heat and WWE Online, during the Raw ad breaks. Helms could have instantly been pushed into the IC division and built up to become a future WWE Champion. He has the perfect character, he has a solid wrestling ability and he's great entertainment value - very good on the mic etc. So in conclusion, his heel turn was a shambles that Joe Public didn't see and he was shipped to Smackdown and in reality wasted. Longest Cruiserweight champion but how many times did he defend it? WWE have the chance to make amends, when he returns they really need to give Helms the ball and let him run with it. i couldnt agree more. i didnt put him in because he was the "longest reigning cruiserweight champion of all time" so that is at least something more than the other guys |

You must be watching other wrestling then I do, because I think anyone who thinks Helm's should be over is on medication. |
