Worst Burials After Jumping to WWE

[Popi]

Whatever the case may be - booking, injuries, locker room issues - what are some of worst burials when someone jumped ship...

Two that come to mind right away - Taz and DDP

The vingettes prior to the Rumble in 2000, debuting to a monster pop and defeating Kurt Angle who was undefeated ... then all the sudden he was a shytty commentator ... I get that he is a shrimp but damn, why the effort to produce the videos and beat Kurt Angle his first night on the job then? At the very least, parlay the Angle match into a nice lil program with Angle going over.

DDP, the stalker angle, debuting after other lesser WCW stars made appearances.. no need to detail that further. Even if he was a weirdo backstage, he coulda been used a lot better. He was a huge face in WCW, and was the biggest name of any of the guys in the Invasion angle.

Add on.

Shane Douglas went from ECW champ...to being herbed beyond words by the kliq and fired...only to head back to philly with his tail tucked between his legs.

That was a perfect storm for the burial. shytty gimmick, alienated himself from the kliq before he signed the contract by trashing their idol Flair, and being exposed on the mic when he couldn't curse.

In the attitude era, he mighta had a shot though.

Joel Gertner, his one and only appearance in the WWE on the One Night Stand ppv and they had JBL punk him out

Taz's neck was , his run only lasted a year before he boothed up with Michael Cole.

Terry Taylor - red rooster enough said lol

Jinsei Shinzaki/Hakushi - dude had no business loosing to Barry Horowitz

Don't get mad at Stamford that Shane Douglas didn't have the goods.

For me, post-Invasion Raven was the biggest waste of talent.

 

[puppetmaster]

I wanna say RVD. He wasn't "buried" but he was held back for no real good reason. Dude came to the wwe as pretty much a complete act ready to be pushed immediately and somehow didn't get the belt until 2006. Kind of a head scratcher

I know we just had a thread on this, but the worst post-wwe burial is Vader. No one else comes close.

Vader was a legit star, a world champ in a widely televised American promotion known by everyone. And they treated like like a second rate big man.
