before robert roode, shane douglas was everything triple h wished he was.

:yes:


Hogan cockblocked Curt when he was in the WWF .. Vince then gave him the intercontinental.... Then Vince pushed texas tornado and ultimate warrior and Curt hurt his back..

damn I miss Mr. Perfect ... RIP

Hogan also cockblocked Dibiase.. thats why he made his own belt.. LOL..

Hogan owned the late 80s, early 90s.. its unfair to say anybody in WWF at that time underachieved because he was cockblocking left and right .... ask Randy


this. nobody was winning that belt.

pretty awkward watching curt hennig's son dress up like hulk hogan.

Depends on what you mean by underachieve...

Did they get top billing and drop the ball?

Or simply just not get booked strong?

Some of the names listed just seem like they got shyt booking.

Big Show

Dude was billed as the next Andre and while he has had a long high-profile career, he's never achieved anything close to what Andre was. Could be me, but I've always felt Big Show should have been bigger than what he turned out to be.

he had the potential and athleticism to be the best big man wrestler ever but dude never thought for himself and got lazy and fat

Curt wasn't gettin' that title during that time you're talkin' about tho'. Wasn't a chance in hell Vince was gonna mess up having that Hogan/Warrior match headline Mania. But when it comes to 1990-91, Perfect was on a hell of a run with that IC title tho'... his injury was kinda what undid his career in WWF. He never fully recovered from it, and at one point preferred getting his Lloyd's of London money more than wrestling. He just never made a longterm comeback after droppin' the title to Bret at Slam '91.

Remember Hogan held the title for like 3-4 years .. I remember watching some documentary and Vince did want Hogan to drop the strap... He would've won it back but Hogan didnt want it drop it period... All that ended up happening was Curt got a few wins at some house shows.. but back then if you didnt see it on TV it didnt happen

ron simmons should've at least gotten a decent ic champ run. at the very least.
alex wright
big show is prolly one of vinces bigger fukkups. when he signed him he said off the bat that wcw didn't know how to book a giant and that he'd show them how to do it. yall know how that turned out.
mvp should've at least gotten the whc when that was still 1b in the wwe

christian had the career he was supposed to have and despite his talents i always got the feeling that smarks only really dikkrode him that hard because he didn't get pushed as hard as edge. also the killswitch/unprettier/impaler was always too unrealistic as a finisher. and him losing to orton two days after getting the whc was funny as hell.
