When D'Lo Brown came back to the WWE

I was so happy when he came back, but the crowd response was damn near laughable. And they made him look like a jerk instead of a fan favorite by having him slap the taste out of Santino's mouth.

I don't mean like someone working as a enhancement talent for one match or something. I mean a name wrestling suffering through basically wasted time in a name promotion.

For me I think of Kazarian's time in the WWE. The only reason its even remotely memorable for me is the reason he quit, which is that when he asked a writer if they had any plans for him the writer responded "what's your name again?"

Funny thing about Kazarian's time there is that they wanted him to cut his hair. He pretty much said no, then asked for his release after realizing the CW division was gonna be dead. Then he cuts his hair 2-3 hairs later lol.

I'd like to add Mark Jindrak and Lance Cade. Both basically remained Create-A-Wrestlers throughout their tenures. I know Jindrak had the "Reflection of Perfection" gimmick, but what came of that??

Didn't Jindark also serve as Kurt Angle's muscle with Luther reigns for a short time? I know the reflection gimmick had Teddy Long as a manager. I'm not sure of the time line but it seems like they just have the reflection gimmick to Masters, took out the mirror in the entrance and added the Masterlock.

O'Hare's time would have been forgettable also but he did have one or two good vignettes. I certainly didn't expect Chuck to be the must successful Natural Born Thriller in the WWE.

Black Snow was the shyt breh. Dont sleep on him and Chet Lemon.

Main Event Mafia was the best part in TNA history, EASILY the best comedy during that time

Yep, was Kurt's muscle with Luther Reigns, turned face and fought in Velocity type matches with them trying to get over his knockout punch, then started teaming with Lance Cade. A whole bunch of forgettable stuff.

I had been a big fan of O'Haire since WCW, and thought his devil's advocate character was really solid. Just sucks that they sent him to OVW leading up to that character, having him put on a bunch of weight (bunch of muscle really) and eliminated most of his move set. His wins against Benoit, Eddie, and Rikishi basically amounted to nothing.

 

[KatieGotAzzHairs]

Wow I don't remember him getting those wins at all. I remember him convincing Kendrick to go streaking based off some commercial that was popular at the time, and I believed they paired him up with Piper as a last ditch effort but I think Piper did something to run afoul of the front office and that ended that.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Piper did do something outside the ring, but also, it was always said that Sean O'Haire couldn't cut live promos to save his life, and then O'Haire himself also got into trouble (domestic abuse) and that was the end of that.
