You know, I don't have that problem with most wrestlers. Unless they're a complete comedy character a la Santino or Boogeyman, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
Hell, I remember wanting GOLDUST as world champion.

Jeff Hardy (only until recently) Chavo JBL Hardcore Holly Booker T (He's a great wrestler and worker but he just never had 'it') Jeff Jarrett (in WCW) Batista Finlay Rey Mysterio Lashley Umaga Again, when were Chavo, Finlay, Umaga, or Hardcore Holly ever presented as main eventers? The only one out of those 4 that even held the world title on their brand was Chavo, and having the ECW title definitely doesn't put you in the main event scene. Chavo was ECW Champion thus being in the main event on his brand. He also had quite a high profile fued with Rey. Finlay main evented several PPV's in 2006 and got a massive push on smackdown. Umaga had a good feud with Cena in 07 which resulted in two ppv main events. He was also in the Raw Elimination Chamber from No Way Out. He was in one of the biggest matches from Wrestlemania 23, which lead into him teaming with the McMahons against Lashley. Hardcore Holly main evented 2004 Royal Rumble against Brock. He was one of the 'Main' guys in the early new ECW. He was also in the Elimination Chamber from December to Dismember.

the main one for me is Jeff Jarrett. he's talented, but he isn't top of the card material in any way.
I agree with a few others in here like the guys from WWECW, RVD...I like him but no, Punk....same as RVD, I want to say Mysterio but if he was in the right situation I could buy it.

My two main ones are Cena and Orton as they were two guys who got into the mainevent on the back of Austin retiring, The Rock leaving, Goldberg not working out and Lesnar leaving. Yeah they gave Cena a title shot at Backlash 03 which was all about The Rock vs Goldberg and the Smackdown Mainevent scene was kinda screwed by Edge getting injured, Angle getting injured etc so they let Cena have a go.
I dont think either of them have the experience to know how to make a match compelling.

Ahmed Johnson!
Also, I have to say that when Eddy Guererro first got the push, it felt really strange to me, and I didn't buy it at first. However, I have to give it to him that along with Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart, he made the most of the push and became a completely credible main eventer. It's just such a shame that he didn't get to stay at the top longer.

First I want to fight the guy that thinks DDP was not the man, I personally think he should have been given the title even longer.
AHH other then that Mabel.
How in the world did they decide to put him in a fued with Nash?
Lashley can also count, but I was so angry that he got it instead of CM Punk. I was more angry that he was built like Brock/Cena 2.0 that I had blinders on his ability.

How could I have forgotten Rey "Who died and made you champion?" Mysterio?

Patriot is about it.
A lot of these seriously make me question a lot of your guys' judgement. If Vince catered to us, he'd go out of business....

Jeff Hardy and CM Punk
Now then regardless of rather you love him or hate him, anyone who thinks Cena doesn't scream main eventer is out of their mind. Just because you don't like a guy or his character doesn't mean you can't see that the guy just screams star.
I never really liked Austin, but I know he was a main eventer.
