I know what the thumbnail is meant to represent (our "outrage" at WWE women being portrayed that way, obviously 🤣😘🤫) but even in TNA (Russo was booking, remember), she was eye-candy for her first two years, before they launched the KO's division and title as a full-time thing; then she and the other TNA Knockouts were BOTH eye-candy AND wrestlers, which is what made their name...
@@DamariJackson24 shockingly how vince found out bout her is from a specific explicit video category Vince found Gail Kim seeing Asian explicit videos of women
Here's my list 10. Christian 9. Diamond Dallas Page 8. The Ascension 7. Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson 6. Chris Masters 5. Gail Kim 4. Curt Hawkins 3. CJ Parker 2. Carlito 1. Zack Ryder
According to Bully Ray, one of the reasons Vince McMahon started burying Raven was because Raven had interrupted McMahon eating his dinner to go over an idea that Raven had for his character’s backstory which he had written down. In the script, Raven put down his characters story and the words “blah blah blah” and McMahon didn’t like the fact that Raven had interrupted his dinner just so he could hear blah blah blah.
The more I hear about McMahon the more I just wish he damn well disappeared a decade or more ago. Even ignoring the fact he's a horrible human being I just think that he held WWE back for so damn long, think what we could have had with him out of the picture...
I don’t really think that’s the case because Vince has said that he doesn’t find Asians sexy. He simply didn’t care to push her because of her ethnicity.
@@MusicChanneI1738 How does one not find an entire race not sexy? A woman is either sexy or she's not regardless of her race. And Gail is MFing sexy as sin.
Gail Kim is a 7 time TNA Knockouts Champion, First ever woman inducted into the TNA Hall Of Fame. She got the Knockouts division started by becoming the first ever Knockouts Champion all the back in 2007
To be honesta lot of the wrestler's released during the 2020-2021 batches I can see why WWE released them, but EC3 was one of the few who I think should've been kept. He's good in the ring, can talk, has a great look, and has charisma. These days it's rare you have wrestlers who have two of those things going for them, let alone all 4
EC3 was really good and he was a missed opportunity on the main roster he could have had success like LA Knight. Personally his career declined further after post-WWE, especially with his CYN promotion. He needs to go back to TNA before it's late.
A head of creative is also the executive producer. He even liked to angrily scream into the announcers’ mics, which was a clear sign of his horrendous micromanagement style.
Gail Kim's second run in WWE was a flop her first run was so much better glad after her second run ended in 2011 she went back to TNA they used her so much better than WWE did.
You forget about Saturn. He was amazing. He was just put out to pasture because they wanted other wrestlers but he and a couple others had to come with them.
Actually I heard somewhere Vince saw him and Benoit with the most main event potential when the radicals came to WWE. I think his addictions and Mike Bell incident really soured him on the guy, which is a shame since I think Perry Saturn is one of the most underrated talents of all time
In the debut match with Angle they had a meeting because some of Tazs lifts looked dangerously close to spiking Kurt, faith was drained after the first match and honestly the neck injury gave taz the space to move into announcing that saved his career
I think Jillian Hall should be included here too A lot of people don't realize what a great wrestler she was, she was great on the mic too, unfortunately wwe used her as a joke. But she still managed to be entertaining and get reactions whenever she was in the ring I believe if she was given a chance she would have been great champion, but her 2 minute reign as divas champion was a slap in the face
Maybe not as overlooked but Tajiri, a amazingly talented veteran of ecw and wcw with a flashy style and unique moves, but relegated to a comedy character who never got a big push, allegedly he got on Vince’s bad side for refusing to do a yakuza gimmick for fear of angering actual members
Masters should have been given a ic title programme, I'm not his biggest fan but even I saw he was getting better, better move set and showing he could mix it up with the upper card.
The EC3 one is a crime, he had been a top heel in TNA for years, he had the looks, mic and in ring skills to do big in WWE, if they had used him properly they would have sold a whole lot.
Funny how people say that Vince doesn't know how to make stars. He took Sterling Golden from AWA and made him Hulk Hogan, the biggest star in the industry. He took a guy Eric Bischoff didn't rate, "Stunning" Steve Austin, who would never be a star because he wore black tights, and made him "Stone Cold", the head of the "Attitude Era". He turned Flex Kavana into the "Most Electrifying Man In Sports Entertainment". He took Terra Ryzing and made him Triple H, the guy running things now. He took a generic bug guy called Mark Callaway, who was part of tag-teams in WCW, and turned him into the Undertaker, the best gimmick wrestler of all time. Shawn Michaels was part of some Rock N'Roll Express rip off tag-team before becoming one of the biggest stars of the industry. None of these guys were stars in WCW but became household names under Vince McMahon. Vince has created many stars. But he never gets credit for that. He only gets criticism for not pushing your no-name favourite to the moon.
Tazz was basically past it by mid-2000 and then got injured. What do you do with a guy thats a) injured, and b) with those injuries mounting up, ready to call time on his in-ring career anyway?
Of all my years being alive I got say I love Shawn creative booking skills everyone has something to do in any division. People probably never thought Page could be world champion, midcare women's could have chance being women's champion, wrestlers never ask for a release
One of the first things I remember about Raven when he returned to the WWE was him cutting a promo where he sounded like a crybaby. "I've never had a hot dog from a hot dog stand. What about me? What about Raven?" Chris Jericho came out a minute or two later to tell Raven to shut up. A far cry from Raven during his WCW days.
The list should be called: 5 wrestlers who actually did get chances(but we lied and misled you in the title, as we tend to do) and 5 wrestlers who were sub par and thus not worthy of being main event players.
I feel weird in saying this, but I feel Otis should be on this list. He had everything. I mean the money in the bank briefcase and Mandy Rose and the WWE took it away from him faster then he got them. He should have been pushed for an IC or Us title run at least.
You guys forgot about Tekno-Team 2000, Scott Putski, Marty "Boogeyman" Wright, Mike Shaw and Marcus "Buff" Bagwell to name a few. I will let others play.
EC3 worked better in TNA because he's supposed to be the storyline nephew of TNA President Dixie Carter but in WWE using that ringname and persona the WWE universe in storyline are not going to know why he's called EC3.
I wouldn't say Jake the Snake was never given a chance. From W2 to W8 he featured prominently in top story lines. From Ricky Steamboat to Honky Tonk Man to Rick Rude to Andre the Giant to Ted Dibiase to Macho Man to finally Undertaker, Roberts was always in high stakes rivalries. Championships are ultimately just props. Jake was the type of personality that didn't need it. He had Damien. There's a law of diminishing returns. Some wrestlers have a mystique, like Brock Lesner or the Undertaker. Jake was one of those wrestlers with a rare mystique. He had a certain prestige. But if you overplay it, the mystique wears off. After Roberts went off the rails and left the company, it may be fair to say he was never given a second chance when many others less deserving did get another shot. But in his first run with WWE, while never the top guy, he was given the chance to carve out a unique and continuously impactful position in the company. HIs legacy from that period is one of great distinction. Or so I've heard.

Buff Bagwell, Sting, 2 Cold Scorpio, DDP, and many other wcw wrestlers Vince jobbed out!
Test, he could of turned heel by leaving Stephanie McMahon at alter
FACTS.
In fairness, Buff Bagwell said his heart wasn't in pro wrestling by the time his one match with Booker T in 2001 happened.
Remember one important thing...Vince probably thought they were still WCW guys, so he buried them.
DDP IS on this list. 😂
The Chris Masters pec popping thing scared me as a kid for some reason 😂
It looked goofy....unlike other Pec popping guys ..his body built weird
@@khesipresents1885 that is what happens to your body once you stop taking steroids
I feel like Samoa Joe should be on this list. He should have been a world champion during his WWE run.
Or at least a solid IC title run.
The only time Samoa Joe was world champion is only on the video games. WWE 2k18 and 2K20
the guy is so injury prone. that’s why they didn’t
Joe is truely underrated
Indeed.
Alex Riley should have definitely been on this list

Breezango was pretty entertaining, even though it was impossible to take them seriously.
@meekrob you gotta have comedy wrestlers.
They did my dude Raven dirty. Such a good character performer and wrestler.
Kanyon in WWE as Mortis, he had potential & had dark matches with WWE
He sure did
You can see in his matches in WCW, Kanyon, be it as himself or Mortis, was incredibly talented and innovative. But got buried almost instantly in WWE.
Ascension was badly wasted in WWE
Accession was the first NXT victims of Vince's shovel
The Creative booking under Vince McMahon be like:
Pretty much this whole list.
@@DamariJackson24 Well, he gave them… NO CHANCE IN HELL!
DDP had the stunner, he was the people’s champ and was throwing up the rocafella sing underrated
Vince disliked WCW wrestlers, period.
Hunico, Shelton Benjamin , Samoa joe ezekiel Jackson , rhyno, heath slater
I never saw the ascension/road warrior comparison.. Always heard it. Never saw it.
I had no idea cj Parker was Juice Robinson. I thought cj parker was TJP.
He also broke Kevin Owens' nose during KO's WWE debut; though it helped Kevin's "Fight, Owens, Fight" slogan, it wasn't good for CJ...
Gail Kim is a 7 time TNA Knockouts Champion, First ever woman inducted into the TNA Hall Of Fame. She got the Knockouts division started by becoming the first ever Knockouts Champion all the back in 2007
Shane Douglas especially.
He, along with many others, was a victim of Kliq politics.
@@justinhillenburg9286 exactly.
Carlito should be on top of this list!
They should've pushed Masters in 2011
Knowing Vince, he probably hated DDP because of his age and the fact he made his own way in the industry, rather than doing it the old fashioned way.
EC3 deserved so much better when he was in wwe. One of the biggest missed opportunities
To be honesta lot of the wrestler's released during the 2020-2021 batches I can see why WWE released them, but EC3 was one of the few who I think should've been kept.

Personally his career declined further after post-WWE, especially with his CYN promotion. He needs to go back to TNA before it's late.
But didn't he just have a job in wrestling because he was related to Dixie Carter (Ethan Carter The Third).
Definitely EC3
Disgusting how many wrestlers Vince buried, so much wasted potential...
Chris masters Oppressed by Vince McMahon during his time in wwe
It hurts how there was so much that could of been for these talents but vince said nah thats not gonna work for me brother
Vince McMahon called the shots when it comes to bookings
A head of creative is also the executive producer. He even liked to angrily scream into the announcers’ mics, which was a clear sign of his horrendous micromanagement style.
Taz was the man in ECW. It's sad that some people forget just how good he was.
Gail Kim's second run in WWE was a flop her first run was so much better glad after her second run ended in 2011 she went back to TNA they used her so much better than WWE did.
Raven should've been World Champion
Fair video, I would add Tyler's tag partner Fandango.
Wwe has had more bad writing than good….and vince is just a petty little man
Dam Tommy dreamer..😂😂
They really ruined DDP. Main event talent. He waa so over they could have him baby face. Turning him heel killed him.
Especially as a stalker. A hundred ways they could have made him a heel, and Vince went with that.
Knowing Vince he was probably just living out a fantasy through DDP: stalk Taker’s wife.
You forget about Saturn. He was amazing. He was just put out to pasture because they wanted other wrestlers but he and a couple others had to come with them.
Actually I heard somewhere Vince saw him and Benoit with the most main event potential when the radicals came to WWE. I think his addictions and Mike Bell incident really soured him on the guy, which is a shame since I think Perry Saturn is one of the most underrated talents of all time
@@dwightyboy5324 Saturn was a comedy wrestler in WCW and WWE.
Nowhere near main event potential.
He had no charisma.
ECW tazz was the best and I consider him in my top 5 of all time. the REAL suplex machine
What a waste of suplex talent. Vince wasting so much talent to push the same top card wrestlers over and over again.
In the debut match with Angle they had a meeting because some of Tazs lifts looked dangerously close to spiking Kurt, faith was drained after the first match and honestly the neck injury gave taz the space to move into announcing that saved his career
Tazz was a fake tough guy.

D'lo Brown was my favorite midcarder during the attitude era. Shame he never got a World Title run or even an opportunity.
Chris MASTERS 😻😻😻😻😻OH MY GOSH, that had to be pure jealousy because there's no way he shouldn't have been one of the greatest
Chris Master was underrated
Masters should have been given a ic title programme, I'm not his biggest fan but even I saw he was getting better, better move set and showing he could mix it up with the upper card.
I feel WWE would give me a chance.
#11 - The Patriot.

The EC3 one is a crime, he had been a top heel in TNA for years, he had the looks, mic and in ring skills to do big in WWE, if they had used him properly they would have sold a whole lot.
Jake Roberts was underrated legend
He is in the HoF.
Tbh this could be a top 200 list of WWE Stars never given a chance
Still remember Taz from SvD2009 where I legitimaly hate him how he attack me on every week in CM Punk storyline. 😃

DDP's stalker storyline was ridiculous. A guy married to an absolute 10 in Kimberly was obsessed with Sara, who wasn't even close
I always said that Gail Kim was very underrated in WWE.
He knew what he was doing with that thumbnail 😂
Jake the Snake vs Hogan would’ve been epic… If only Vince knew then with what he found out years later with Stone Cold…
Tazz was basically past it by mid-2000 and then got injured. What do you do with a guy thats a) injured, and b) with those injuries mounting up, ready to call time on his in-ring career anyway?
Tazz commentated in WWE because he got a career ending neck injury, so couldn't be used as a wrestler anyway.
Of all my years being alive I got say I love Shawn creative booking skills everyone has something to do in any division. People probably never thought Page could be world champion, midcare women's could have chance being women's champion, wrestlers never ask for a release
Raven is my second favorite wrestler of all times, only behind Test.
One of the first things I remember about Raven when he returned to the WWE was him cutting a promo where he sounded like a crybaby. "I've never had a hot dog from a hot dog stand. What about me? What about Raven?" Chris Jericho came out a minute or two later to tell Raven to shut up. A far cry from Raven during his WCW days.
Chris Masters didn't even won a title in WWE with that physique
Good one
Now, you know this list needs to be longer
I absolutely feel bad for the Ascension they are talented my all-time favorite tag teams 🔺👁️
Gail and Jake are the only people on this list I’ve met.
The list should be called: 5 wrestlers who actually did get chances(but we lied and misled you in the title, as we tend to do) and 5 wrestlers who were sub par and thus not worthy of being main event players.

Not everyone has potential to be a star.
Just because you personally like someone, doesn't mean they don't suck.
6:27 Raven wasn't givin ah chance due 2 Vince vendetta against him
Vince finally walking away is all the company needed, HHH immediately started bringing back everyone that was let go
Whether he had anything for them or not.
He didn't know how to use Bray Wyatt, for example, and obviously had no plans for him.
@dhenderson1810 and that's sad because almost immediately after he became bray he was so over with the fans
Personally what comes to mind for me, Dana Brooke, hands down. They never gave her a chance.
The ascension looked like road warriors that wanted to be emo.

Some wrestlers have a mystique, like Brock Lesner or the Undertaker. Jake was one of those wrestlers with a rare mystique. He had a certain prestige. But if you overplay it, the mystique wears off.
