Hyped up OVW/FCW/DSW/NXT wrestlers who flopped

[Tanahashi Coates]

Was listening to Santino's shoot preview where he talked about Cornette slapping him in OVW . This led me down memory lane of guys who were over in developmental but flopped once in the main roster. The biggest name to me was Brent Albright. It seemed like he had next as the next Benoit (they even had Benoit give him a rub) but he was sent back down within 2 months and released 4 months later. His feud with Punk in OVW was well publicized but he didn't catch on for some reason. Any other names come to mind to y'all?

Eric Escobar

Atlas Dabone. He won with Layla though

Steamboat is a sad case. He'd probably be top 3 babyface right now if he didn't get hurt

Nick Dinsmore AKA Eugene

By all accounts he was a great worker and they stuck hitch that stupid ass gimmick.
