he wasn’t even bad in the ring just average but when the mcmahons personally bring someone out at wrestlemania just to announce he’s the next big thing…. average is just not good enough
And he was made as the next Kurt Angle which was bs. He also kept on leaving delaying his debut to focus on collegiate wrestling. He did not want to even put effort for pro wrestling. They also signed him 1 year in advance and released many other far talented wrestlers
Another. .thing is because those guys lookes marketable....its what a casual and probably Hollywood movie directors think of when thinking about wrestling .mascular guys
Worse, he DID arrive (eventually) and beat The Mysterios in a Handicap match; he then disappeared again and only ever CAME on Main Event afterwards... 🤣🤣
@@ScarysReviews I really liked Glacier, but I have a hard time thinking of someone in wrestling with a straight up Martial Arts Striking style making it big in Pro Wrestling. Mordecai/Kanyon worked because his style branched out, I just never felt that Glacier had any longevity to him other than I really dug his look and Style at the time.
@@jackdang4685yeah Last I remember seeing him in the 2024 Royal Rumble when PAT looked UP at him and WILLINGLY ELIMINATED HIMSELF FROM THE RUMBLE 🤣 but I Haven't seen him Since... But MVP has been his Manager for some time now. In matches if there's NO MVP THERE'S NO OMOS... Now seeing MVP is now AEW what came to my mind awhile back was DAMN OMOS.
With the exception of Gable Steveson or Stevenson, whichever one it is. I honestly don't know and honestly don't care. That is a solid list of people that have the Vince look and nothing else to offer. Just a bunch of large meaty men and a pretty, leggy blonde with fake boobs.
I disagree with Mabel not being a waste because he wound being booked as KOTR and also went on to be henchman for Taker in Ministry. He wasn't a major player, but he didn't get released immediately. People still remember big Vis and he's a part of the attitude era. The others I agree
If only the Mordecai character was brought on 5 years earlier in 1999 it could of been featured as the "Higher Power" storyline they were doing for the Undertaker and his Ministry of Darkness stable rather than Vince McMahon.
Ryback should be in the video too. And EC3. Both should have been world champs but polotics ruined that for both of them. Both were over, especially Ryback
Lacey Evans was just checked out mentally, she wasn't giving it her all in the least, despite all the opportunities, storylines, main event spots etc. Something Lacey Evans herself confirmed in a post-release interview.
@@theonlygoodonehere2259The IWC’s list of “overrated” would basically read like a WWE main event: Cody, Roman, Punk, etc. It’s almost like the IWC thinks drawing money is a bad thing.
@@zlinedavid weird right? I know roman hated for being overpushed in the past, but he literally is like one of the only guys in the company who knows how to work a heel character. cm punk they prob hate for causing issues backstage for wwe and aew, but still cm punk cuts better promos than like 98% of the roster, and speaks properly better than all of them, now cody is who I am sort of confused about, they were responsible for the "we want cody" trend, and the forced pivot, now they hate cody, like wtf??? they responsible for him, and at least cody draws, so yes its like they do hate top guys who draw or something
I can speak for myself and say Lacey got over with me. She was something unique - the classy character, the outfits, and her in-ring work was genuinely good.
Her early booking certainly did her no favors. She wouldn't wrestle in actual matches. They had her just strut around the ramp and wave. And then she got put into the title picture against Becky after just a couple of wins and not much build up. She really could've used a little more time in NXT, too.
I mean he was the biggest wrestler in Mexico at the time and he was excelent in CMLL as the Mystico character, i thing the biggest problem is that he didn't adpated well at the WWE style, in Mexico everything is higly coreographed and it has almost 0 improv, i what were the reasons, maybe he didn't want to adapd or the debuit was rushed and didn't let him adapt, whatever was the reason it showed he wasn't ready to wrestle in the WWE style.
@@Ms666slayerFrom what everyone has said Cara demanded to go straight to the main roster instead of go to developmental to learn the WWE style. He also refused to learn English. Seems like his failures were all his own fault. His career has finally recovered and he's doing well internationally again. So good for him I suppose.
Yup. Big hype and they screwed him over. He had started potential because he already had made it in TNA beforehand. Politics did him in. Lars Sullivan is another that comes to mind since he was part of the call ups from NXT with Lacey and EC3
vince just straight up buried him, ec3 has mic skills and knows how to work a character, and they stripped away his strongest attributes, literally all on purpose, they never let him speak once, like wtf, its so obvious, they didn't even try to hide it
I don't think that's what this list means. John Morrison is more underrated than someone who didn't live up to the hype. Management just didn't like him I guess
@alternative7586 Yes you're right.. I misjudged the video from its caption. But still Morrison wasn't given many opportunities.. even after the come back
Morrison was and probably still is incredible. Haven't seen him in a few years. But he never had the promo ability to do one of WWE's endless rambling 20-minute TV promos that they love so much. So he never got a real chance.
Met Nathan Jones at a nerdy convention once. Big ol' smile on his face the whole time, real friendly dude. He was taller than me while sitting but once he stood up so I could take a photo him I realized he could probably throw me into the sun haha.
Don't forget The Masterpiece Chris Masters, The Narcissist Lex Luger and Arab American Mohammed Hassan. They were hyped before making their respective debuts and there were even talks of them becoming champions but did not materialize. Although in Hassan's case, it was due to the similarities between his character and terror attacks.
My dad took me to the KOTR when Mabel won. I was 7 or 8 and still remember wondering what the hell they were doing with him winning. I remember looking at my dad and asking so Savio or Mabel are going to be the king of the ring? It is bad when you let down an 8 year old who still thought the undertaker was a dead guy.
I was 13 at the time and had the same reaction watching at home. Then the following month Mabel ran Diesel into the ring post during the main event lumberjack match. And I remember thinking, "oh, this is going to be the SummerSlam main event huh?" 😮💨
I admit, I thought Snitsky was pretty cool. He's kind of embrace the comedic part of his character now and enjoys fans recognizing him for it. I saw an interview he did about a year or so back. IIRC he's running a physical therapy / exercise business, has gotten married, and is completely happy. Props to the big guy!
Another absolutely fantastic video from you guys very informative thank you for coming through again I really like your videos and as far as lacy Evans I agree with what you said completely. I thought Nathan jones was going to be big as well with Matt Morgan glad things went better in tha.
Lil Uzi Vert, Wrestlemania 39. His performance was particularly underwhelming, and apparently they were supposed to bring him back to wrestle at WM40 but it fell through.
@@DukesMusic84 I probably forgot because I was texting my friends watching at home "why the hell is Lil Uzi here?" Should have saved him for the following year in Philly. (His hometown)
Idk about Curtis Axel. I think WWE missed a huge apportunity with him, his Axelmania gimmick was getting kind of over with the crowd before they stopped pushing it.
Wwe should have never released sin cara the man had so many high flying agility skills and tremendous moves in the world wrestling entertainment but don't remember if he'd ever won a championship when sin cara was still here
I didn't think Lacey was bad in the ring. I thought she was solid. She had great matches in NXT & on the main roster & she had a good gimmick when it came to being the Sassy Southern Belle. I actually found Lacey believable as a contender for the women's title. I also didn't think Curtis Axel was a bad wrestler either. I think he had some Charisma & he was good in the ring but WWE should've given him the name Curtis Hening like similar to his father & they should've given him a different manager. As for Ted DiBiase the only child thing about him was his theme song.
@@khesipresents1885You're not wrong. But also just being big with no other redeemable traits hasn't gotten over in the wrestling business since the 80s. The fact that they kept trying with people who were just big but didn't have anything else to offer is mind-blowing. The audience had clearly shifted away from that, and yet they kept trying.
I would have switched Mabel out with Heidenreich. He was made to be Smackdown's resident psycho compared to Gene Snitsky, and he feuded with the Undertaker. That didn't last long.
She had the exact career I predicted for her when she was in NXT. She couldn't wrestle and was clearly nowhere near as good as the other girls around her in NXT. Yet she got multiple chances because she was a tall, leggy blonde with fake boobs. Before they realized she just didn't have it and fired her. Just as I predicted would happen.
He couldn't go on his own, because he didn't have his dad's "it factor", but couple him with a Rotunda and I reckon the combo of Bo's charisma with his ability would have worked...
Yeah, the "Son of a Millionaire who gets everything he wants" gimmick ain't exactly sounding like it'll connect with the likely blue-collar majority of the WWE Universe. But that's just my opinion.
@@theonlygoodonehere2259 True, you got a point. Edit: Who knows? Worked well, The Son of The Million Dollar Man could've been a stand-alone gimmick and all Dibiase Jr's own. Only thing holding him back would've been stepping out of Daddy's shadow 🤣
I wouldn't blame the company or the creative team every time a wrestler fails to make it big. Sometimes the wrestler just don't have "it". Something about them is lacking. Like they are just not captivating or appealing to the fans. Also, not everyone is meant to be a star.
@@TabithaK-ue4cisheamus you mean had it inbuat 4 minths when he won wwe title?its just always about favoritism ...zack got over didn't get half the push sheamus,jack swagger,delrio got ..
While it didn't work out for Snitsky, from his podcast interviews in recent times he seems like a really genuinely chilled out dude. I hope him and Maven collaborate for an episode sometime.
Matt Morgan had a more successful run in TNA lol snitsky's feud with kane was hilarious especially that segment on raw on the highlight reel of him punting a baby that was hilarious i was recently watching that segment 2-months ago I'm still laughing 20-years later 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sorry if this sounds a little racist, but man I bet Mabel was kissing Diesel’s feet after their match at Summer Slam considering from what I’ve heard Diesel (despite Mabel almost breaking his back) was the one who talked Vince McMahon out of firing Mabel.
Matt Morgan should’ve been one of the biggest (literally and figuratively) WWE ever saw. I don’t blame Matt at all for his failed WWE run, WWE failed him in many ways, Matt didn’t fail WWE. Give someone garbage, and garbage is what you will receive.
It's not all Curtis Axel's fault, his father was so damn good and absolutely perfect. And that's a bar set so high that's practically impossible to reach.
if sin cara had gone to developmental instead of being pushed directly on main he would've been the next rey Mysterio.A year on NXT and he would've learned the American style and flourished
Jones actually had potential as a performer which his acting career showed. They just pushed him onto the main roster without any training, so that is on WWE.
Nathan Jones may not have had a great wrestling career but he did and still does have a great career as an actor. another wrestler to come to mind is Lars Sullivan and Odyssey Jones. their wresting careers tanked after getting released.
Lacey Evans is the text book definition of a wrestler getting shoved down everyone's throat. It's almost criminal the amount of chances she was given that could have afforded to other more deserving talents.
Gable Stevenson. Dude was hyped up to be the next Kurt Angle. His first match was a disaster and people was cheering for Baron Corbin instead of him.
he wasn’t even bad in the ring just average
but when the mcmahons personally bring someone out at wrestlemania just to announce he’s the next big thing…. average is just not good enough
And he was made as the next Kurt Angle which was bs. He also kept on leaving delaying his debut to focus on collegiate wrestling. He did not want to even put effort for pro wrestling. They also signed him 1 year in advance and released many other far talented wrestlers
I only know he was at WM 38 and he had a match against Baron Corbin... that's it
@@ChristopherKelley100didnt corbin faced drew ??at wm 38 or it was someone else
He was a failed signing for WWE since day 1
Notice how most of these guys are big meaty men with great physical statues but no in-ring ability. The definition of Vince McMahon's booking.
Straight Facts
No it's poor script
Yeah but lets not pretend batista ,cena ,warrior,hogan,brock doesnt c ome from that type ofwrestlers ..yall dwell on the ones that flopped
Another. .thing is because those guys lookes marketable....its what a casual and probably Hollywood movie directors think of when thinking about wrestling .mascular guys

Too bad we never got to see a match between Undertaker and Mordecai. I was hoping to see Undertaker squash him.

Definitely remember him as Mable and repackaged as Visacera in the Attitude Era 😊😊😊😊
He got released in January 96 and wouldn't return until January 99. He was gone for 3 years before being brought back as basically an enhancement guy.
Viscera was definitely not wasted. He ended up having a career with WWE/WWF over several gimmicks
Remember him in Men On A Mission first, then King Mabel, and then Viscera. I read he was known as very stiff and hurt people in ring. RIP

@@TabithaK-ue4cisheamus you mean had it inbuat 4 minths when he won wwe title?its just always about favoritism ...zack got over didn't get half the push sheamus,jack swagger,delrio got ..
While it didn't work out for Snitsky, from his podcast interviews in recent times he seems like a really genuinely chilled out dude. I hope him and Maven collaborate for an episode sometime.
matt morgan was one of my most favourite people on tna back in the day, you could tell he loved what he was doing!
Matt Morgan had a more successful run in TNA lol snitsky's feud with kane was hilarious especially that segment on raw on the highlight reel of him punting a baby that was hilarious i was recently watching that segment 2-months ago I'm still laughing 20-years later 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I loved that segment with Snitsky
@@davidbermudez7704lol same here it wasn't his fault the fact that segment took place 20-years ago is hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nathan Jones was in the new mad Max movies
It is insane the difference between Mabel and Viscera, not only in character, but in-ring work.
We were all so happy when Veer finally came 😊
I really liked Sin Cara when he came along, shame it didn't work out. Plus, Veer looked like a freaking savage
Nathan Jones is what got me into professional wrestling.
Ryback's hype was also terrible
I'm glad Jones never got over as a former inmate, because now we have Karrion Kross, and he's constantly better at that mindset 24/7.
Anyone remember Kizarni ?
The problem with Lacey Evan’s was she tried her best but her heart wasn’t in wrestling travelling for 300+ days a year ain’t for everyone.
She saw it as a job like anyone would.
@ She said it in an interview herself that she wasn’t passionate for wrestling and she missed her family so she quit and went home.
1:33 "Mabel was the next big threat in WWE"
He was a threat... to his opponents well-being
Sorry if this sounds a little racist, but man I bet Mabel was kissing Diesel’s feet after their match at Summer Slam considering from what I’ve heard Diesel (despite Mabel almost breaking his back) was the one who talked Vince McMahon out of firing Mabel.
Matt Morgan should’ve been one of the biggest (literally and figuratively) WWE ever saw. I don’t blame Matt at all for his failed WWE run, WWE failed him in many ways, Matt didn’t fail WWE. Give someone garbage, and garbage is what you will receive.
Somewhere out there I take comfort in knowing Veer is still coming somewhere.
I would've also included Tom Magee, Nailz, and Lars Sullivan.
It's not all Curtis Axel's fault, his father was so damn good and absolutely perfect. And that's a bar set so high that's practically impossible to reach.
Young JBL during Nathan Jones is bonkers
if sin cara had gone to developmental instead of being pushed directly on main he would've been the next rey Mysterio.A year on NXT and he would've learned the American style and flourished
Funny thing is that Unico's original ring name was Mistico in which the Original Sin Cara stole from him in Mexico prior to WWE
Jones actually had potential as a performer which his acting career showed. They just pushed him onto the main roster without any training, so that is on WWE.
Nathan Jones did well, he just lost to Achilles in 2004 and never recovered.
Veer's video packages of his debut date lasted longer than Veer's actual in-ring career.
Matt Morgan couldn't get over anywhere he went
Nathan Jones may not have had a great wrestling career but he did and
still does have a great career as an actor. another wrestler to come to
mind is Lars Sullivan and Odyssey Jones. their wresting careers tanked
after getting released.
That first one is just a beefier version of Jason Statham.
They would live up the hype if WWE haven't gave them ridiculous angles and rely on the WWE Universe for their approval
Lacey Evans is the text book definition of a wrestler getting shoved down everyone's throat. It's almost criminal the amount of chances she was given that could have afforded to other more deserving talents.
Sin Cara fumbled his own WWE run but WWE also didn't do much to help him either. Sin should've been way more than he was
Nathan Jones is doing well in Hollywood. He's in the recent Mad Max movies! He's one of Immortan Joe's sons.
The idea behind Mordecai was definitely good. I think it could work today with how bad wrestling has gotten since all of the greats have retired.
facts, look at bray wyatt, lol, people think he is so good, but he doesn't even look intimidating, thats proof
