Ted Dibiase jr is a top 5 generational bust idc what anyone says , probably top 3. Dude had it handed to him literally he was set up for greatness. Had the look, had the build & presence but had the charisma, personality, mic work & work rate of a dry mop. Came in with high expectations & was in the magazine for next breakout superstar to hold a title within 5 years & within that group thought he would’ve been a megastar once he left. He got worse & at least with cody he killed the gimmicks they gave him & eventually left reinvented himself & came back, dibiase jr was a let down
@ yeah I agree he was definitely next up in Vince’s eyes & the next big thing but it’s still a let down from someone who had it handed to him. A prospect who had 0 talent & didn’t improve or want to but had the looks & the connections. Cody was also a prospect who I wasn’t too big on back then but he improved so much with everything they gave him & his true talent showed, dibiase just wasn’t made for wrestling
@@BabyMaharaja0 he showed flashes & based off a visuals & who was gonna be next up obviously dibiase was the better of the 2, but he remained a what if & didn’t improve at all. He had me fooled lol. The dude had such a menacing jerk look who was made to be a bad guy, but again like I said he was just terrible in the ring, on the mic, personality sucked & he just was not good, it would’ve been ok if he was at least SOLID but he wasn’t even that & didn’t improve & it didn’t help he got buried by Orton which seems intentional
Velveteen dream had so much potential arguably one of the most charismatic people on NXT at the time and because he was a terrible person behind the scenes it all went to waste
Gable Stevenson went against Baron Corbin and STILL couldn’t get a pop. Stop trying to replace the legendary Kurt Angle with unestablished talent. Kurt was just 1 of 1.
Kenzo Suzuki. Anybody remember him? He was a Japanese wrestler who debuted in WWE in the early 2000s on the Smackdown roster. He was really hyped up at that time as a potential main eventer. But he wound up only forming an odd couple championship tag team with a Frenchman named Rene Dupree. He didn't Even have a match at Wrestlemania from my knowledge. What about Sin Cara? I'm sure you've heard of him. He was going to be the next Rey Mysterio. Didn't even come close
@@khesipresents1885 I never understood why AEW hired him. His style did not fit in at all with the style they go for and he basically did nothing. Had he stuck in WWE he might've done better
14:54 Odyssey Jones' self-inflicted problems essentially killed his career, especially after the allegations of domestic violence which seemed to lead to his release. Because it felt like he was starting to connect with the audience in his brief run with the New Day. Just my opinion, but I was starting to appreciate his character, but it's all a moot point now.
@BrysinSmith and I get people saying his finished is just a spinebuster, but the way he executed it in such a unique way and instantly got up sort of taunting: "Get outta here."
@@Beardo2517 tell me more, my friend. I do not condone his hypocritical behavior, but I just wish to know more - where his rise began and where it ended.
The tall good looking tough enough guy was ruined by WWE's 2010s stupidity they had HHH pedigree him and Vince slap him like a joke...who wouldn't be a flop after that
Andy Leavine was a big handsome athletic guy so WWE brass liked him and saw potential. But it's often not enough. The Runner up on Tough Enough that year was a much better in ring worker and had better character work. But 1, he was small in a way WWE hated, 2 had a terrible attitude and was an asshole. Leavine basically won because the guy with the most talent was a massive red flag of locker room poison.
Turns out that the most successful out of "Tough Enough: Season 6"...is Chelsea Green. She wasn't even part of the initial cast.... She was a replacement. Now she's the first-ever WWE Women's US Champion. A stark comparison to Patrick Clark....who was fired from WWE and arrested later on... for drug possession and punching a gym employee.
Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville didn't do so bad. And, at least Clark did better than the male winner (Josh), the fan favorite (ZZ), and the suck up who tried to rile him up (Tanner), all while significantly younger than them.
Dream already proved that those allegations were false so there Is a chance he might return one day. He is more mature now so the possibility of Dream returning are pretty decent.
After everything that happened, I hope Dream really build himself again in Indy scene, he's really good but really the attitude is not. All company really should put attitude clauses for those kinda wrestlers and give a second chance at least so they can show that they already changed to be better person.
It’s pretty wild out of all the wrestlers in wwe tough enough 2011 to have the most success it was the wrestler who got eliminated by saying her favorite match was Melina vs Alicia fox which left stone cold speechless😂.
To be fair Ivelisse was also in that season and even was in NXT for a little bit but she left after her problems with Bill Demott. She did great work on lucha underground and honestly could've potentially had a decent WWE career if the situation she was in was better.
Actually the original plan for Xavier and Kofi was both going heel and turn on Odyssey, yes that the same way where they turn on Big E was actually for Odyssey.
@ nope that’s not true. When Odyssey Jones came in, they were going to tease issues with them not getting along but it would end up with Kingston & Woods going heel by choosing Jones and having him publicly replace E. That’s the Orginal Story.
Kinda glossing over some important context with Velveteen Dream, Gable Steveson and Odyssey Jones. I get you don't want this to be age-restricted, but you can probably be a little more specific than "personal issues." Especially given you used the same terminology in reference to Awesome Kong having a miscarriage.
You could add Shane Mercer (known in WWE as Riley Apex). Now they have a very similar persona (but much unsafer and with far lesser wrestling capabilities) called Ridge Holland there and i wonder what they did wrong with Shane Mercer, that he (seemingly) never wanted to come back.
I personally think that people like Kharma and Dream aren't busts. (While I don't codone the personal problems Velveteen was invovled in), They both became top stars of their respective divisions. A better example of a true bust is Michael Cole as ain ring performer. If I wasn't already not a wwe fan, seeing his matches would make me not want to watch any wrestling at all. (good thing for me is that I don't watch wrestling currently.)
@@lewismaclean8849 awesome Kong's issue when it came to transition in the WWE when she came back was backstage bullying against her because of her size
certainly not Kharma, who became an icon as Awesome Kong. Some of these videos are inconsistent with what they deem success, whether it's inside or outside of WWE
What no one mentions about Andy Leavine is that the other finalist Luke Robinson of Tough Enough that year has actually going to win it and made WAYY more sense because he had actual charisma but Luke had a past of doing NSFW content so they did go with him.
Correct me if I am wrong but didn't Kia Stevens (Awesome Kong, Karma) have some beef with the Bellas backstage back then? They made fun of her look or something which was a factor for her leaving.
Do your homework? Veleteen Dream wasn't a bust he pit in 5 star matches and was highly praised by big name wrestlers 😅 people will say or do anything for views
Velveteen Dream didn't actually bust he had a good run in nxt. He had good feuds was nxt north American champ. But once the allegations came out it was all over unfortunately.
Velveteen Dream is not a bust. -- Would you call Micheal Vick a bust? Both didn't succeed/reach the level expected of them due to moronic mistakes unrelated to their sports, but when asked to perform, they did. A bust would be someone who couldn't get over, couldn't wrestle, couldn't talk, etc. -- Velveteem Dream could, AND DID, all of the above.
everybody almost thinks MMA secures a good Wrestling Carreer, but you have to remember MMA is often more Kickboxing and not mutch grappling or wrestling moves. And it doesn't take mutch aura
Well of the 22 Olympian Pro Wrestlers I find listed, 18 have either done very well or are legends, 1 is Kurt Angle and I would love to forget it, 1 stinks according to this video, 1 has only debut this year and Iron Sheik, was eliminated during his country's trails, despite billing as having won in 1968. As to Boudreaux, he seems to be married, happy and maybe doing some work with Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide
Fun fact: Surprisingly enough, despite his WWE tenure was a total flop, Andy Leavine had some extent of success in 2012 in the World Wrestling Council (WWC) as its heavyweight champ when he won the WWC Universal Heavyweight Title that year.
Cain was fast tracked too soon. He had two matches to his name and very limited training. He looked good for his training level in his two matches, but he was nowhere close to being ready for the WWE main roster.
Kharma/Kong and Dream were NOT busts Kharma/Kong debuted in WWE and then she got pregnant right away, and Vince and WWE were pissed and then released her because of that. But Kharma/Kong wasn’t the first gal to get fired over a pregnancy, as that happened to Dawn Marie as well back in 2005. The reason why a promoter would be so pissed at a female talent getting pregnant is because they will have to be away on maternity leave for a long time, especially if complications with the birth happens, I mean just look at Carmella and Alexa Bliss, they’ve not been on TV now since the Lockdown era, because of maternity leave and complications. Alexa Bliss has had back issues as well to go along with that So that’s why a promoter would be so pissed at a female talent for getting pregnant, and it’s usually why most female wrestlers retire when they want kids, like Beth Phoenix and Michele McCool did. As for Dream, he could’ve been a star had he not done stupid things
Thankfully, after the Gable Steveson story, WWE was still determined to have a legit world class wrestler named Gable. So we got Chad, who is much closer to a new Kurt. If they use him well.
velveteen was no bust at all accusations and narratives caused the downward spiral of his career hes back working the indy circut im honestly happy for him
A great future storyline opportunity would've been Parker as Brock's illegitimate son vs Bron Breaker. Would've been as good as the Brothers Of Destruction.
2:31 another reason might be the fact that he shares the same last name as Chad Gable. I mean I don't think you can have two wrestlers with the same last name that rhymes with a wrestler who did it before them.
Gable Stevenson is always on a topic like this, and its a shame. They put so much expectations on him, but he couldve been his own dude. Then again, he just didnt blend well with everyone else and just didnt seem to care that much
@@gentity8589 see because it's not in the WWE most WWE shill fans are just going to say it didn't happen if they decide to try and bring it back. If they decide to bring him back likely WWE will ignore what he's doing in Japan
As a fan of guys that look like they can legitimately look like they can beat somebody up, Parker Boudreaux and Lars Sullivan were HUGE disappointments and wastes of talent (I mean this in a positive way).
Velveteen Dream IMHO isn't so much a bust as someone who shot himself in the foot. I think that, while he was over, he thought he was a bigger star than he actually was which caused him to get a bigger ego than was warranted. Then when those allegations about him came out, hardly anyone was willing to support him. Kharma was more a victim of lousy luck. Just after she debuted, she got pregnant. Understandably she was given time off, but tragically she suffered a miscarriage. While she was training to get back in the ring, she was knocked on for being out of shape, hard to work with, and being stubborn for what to do with her character. Basically she was nowhere near ready physically or mentally for a ring return in the time they wanted her to return. Most of the rest showed that not everyone has what it takes to be a star. If you can't get the audience to care about you, then you should just do something else with your life
Besides that flop of a match with Baron Corbin on NXT the most notible thing Gable Stevenskn did was work threating Chad Gable about changing his name lol
The Dream is one of the biggest flops because I was watching NXT during his blow up. He had the gig. He had the people. He was making himself main event potential....and decided to just go full pedo
Velveteen Dream is one of the biggest should-have-been's on this list. If not for his bad behaviour, he could very likely have been one of the biggest names in the industry.
I come from the future to say that Odyssey Jones was actually found innocent in everything so he may not have a job in WWE but at least he can walk around not being a criminal

The biggest take away from this vid is that after like 50 years the wwe still can't promote a black person to save there life
Velveteen didnt flop he sabotaged himself
He was lied on and it sent him into a depression and he got in trouble again but that’s not self sabotage
I don’t know if I would consider Velveteen Dream a flop, he was extremely over, and was very good, it just turned out he was an idiot.

Sorry but I don't feel Velveteen Dreaam is valid in this list. I thought he had a decent NXT run. But then the scandal hit
Fair play, getting those potential extra views by titling the video with a double entendre, big brain stuff
Gable Stevenson is always on a topic like this, and its a shame. They put so much expectations on him, but he couldve been his own dude. Then again, he just didnt blend well with everyone else and just didnt seem to care that much
Truth be told, nobody had high hopes for Gable
Cain velasquez wouldve been amazing but wwe fucked it up
At least Parker Boudreaux making his name known in Japan wrestling. The BFD.
@@gentity8589 see because it's not in the WWE most WWE shill fans are just going to say it didn't happen if they decide to try and bring it back. If they decide to bring him back likely WWE will ignore what he's doing in Japan
As a fan of guys that look like they can legitimately look like they can beat somebody up, Parker Boudreaux and Lars Sullivan were HUGE disappointments and wastes of talent (I mean this in a positive way).
Velveteen Dream IMHO isn't so much a bust as someone who shot himself in the foot. I think that, while he was over, he thought he was a bigger star than he actually was which caused him to get a bigger ego than was warranted. Then when those allegations about him came out, hardly anyone was willing to support him.
Kharma was more a victim of lousy luck. Just after she debuted, she got pregnant. Understandably she was given time off, but tragically she suffered a miscarriage. While she was training to get back in the ring, she was knocked on for being out of shape, hard to work with, and being stubborn for what to do with her character. Basically she was nowhere near ready physically or mentally for a ring return in the time they wanted her to return.
Most of the rest showed that not everyone has what it takes to be a star. If you can't get the audience to care about you, then you should just do something else with your life
Velveteen dream was the biggest joke. Odyssey Jones was never used properly
Besides that flop of a match with Baron Corbin on NXT the most notible thing Gable Stevenskn did was work threating Chad Gable about changing his name lol
Dibiase wasn’t really a bust, he was just never gonna be a main event star, he was a decent mid carder
Please do a complete history of why Jay Lethal is a complete Badass. Thank you, keep up the kickass videos.
OGs Remember Scottish Andy

Ah, the Least Incarnate. One of the long line of supposed "GAME CHANGERS" that WWE "dropped the ball on" 😂😂😂
Once the "DiBiase Posse" became a thing, I knew Ted Jr was cooked. Even Stardust had more life than that turd gimmick.
The Dream is one of the biggest flops because I was watching NXT during his blow up. He had the gig. He had the people. He was making himself main event potential....and decided to just go full pedo
I misread the title, and thought this was about the wrestlers with the biggest busts!
Velveteen Dream is one of the biggest should-have-been's on this list. If not for his bad behaviour, he could very likely have been one of the biggest names in the industry.
Velveteen Dream was such a disappointment. All on him 100%, so I can't blame NXT. But so dang entertaining in the ring.
Wow what about Barson Reed.. all the other Ozzys mentionedx but not Mr. tsunami.
I come from the future to say that Odyssey Jones was actually found innocent in everything so he may not have a job in WWE but at least he can walk around not being a criminal
Everyone in this list are underrated, as “fans” would say coz they’ll mention someone as “underrated”
I feel Velveteen Dream was a better version of Orlando Jordan
Didn't recognize anyone in the video picture
I remember Lars Sullivan was getting pushed heavy as a new monster and then we found out he was actually a gay corn star 🤣
dude Auckland is not in Australia, Toni Storm is a New Zealander!
Are you referring to actual Olympic level qualifiers as “Amateurs”. I would call it a completely different sport.
Is was so hype for Parker 😂 I️ was legit making fantasy bookings on TikTok for weeks before his debut.
