Maybe our definititions of push differ but I didnt see much given to JoMo and Shelton in terms of getting really pushed as singles. Not outside of JoMo's ECW run and Shelton's premature flirt with the main event on RAW anyway.

What more could they really have done?

I agree on Drew McIntyre, but I wonder if it is more creative than him. He's a solid wrestler.

What more could they really have done? Pulled the trigger and had him win a world title or at least a MITB or Royal Rumble. They pushed his parkour gimmick, which he could have used to help him survive for a long time and win a rumble and get to WM or win the briefcase. Nope, because they had to have Del Rio win both the rumble and the briefcase.

So, since I'm old, I'm going to say Lex Luger.
Luger: "Hey guys, I'm going to win at Wrestlemania!"
McMahon: "ORLY?"
You can't fail much more than that...

I remember when getting on TV and getting a push would be considered a "fair chance." I mean, the titles move around too much as it is.

Eh regarding the DVD there's a pretty great interivew Morrison did with IGN when it came out that kind of illuminates a lot about it: tv.ign.com/articles/107/1070364p1.htmlMorrison was a guinea pig for this new DVD format that obviously didn't take off, let's not forget he wasn't exactly top of the card in Early 2010, he just finished 2009 jobbing out to McIntyre and Miz on Smackdown and various PPVs and jobbing to ShowMiz at Mania was coming in the near future. Promo skills not withstanding (yes they can certainly be dreadful), I'd say the timing of the DVD was pretty awful. Not his fault, and considering he was probably the best example of an up and coming "homegrown" WWE talent at the time he was probably the best choice for that kind of product. I dunno if he really pushed to do the parkour stuff himself and all that I'd say he did pretty much all he could do to try and get himself over, I guess promos really are that important but honestly I'd like to see if there are other ways to engage viewers going forward, with how large the roster is how can we really expect anyone in the midcard to ever get good mic time?

I had an unsettling image when I first read the thread title. The Islanders after they dognapped Matilda! "Oh will you stop!" /Monsoon]

Begins and ends with Rob Van Dam. The guy was the WWE and ECW champion, was on top of the wrestling world...then got pulled over by the cops for drug possession. Just idiotic on RVD's part.

Matt Hardy.
Had a great chance to become a big star during the Edge feud...then he wished for him to die in a car crash.

Rob Van Dam immediately comes to mind. for years he was never given a shot, and people thought that Triple H was full of shit about it because he didn't want RVD embarassing the company with his drug use. so what does RVD do when he finally wins it? he goes out of his way to prove Triple H right.
Jeff Hardy's another one, and I get the feeling that he doesn't even care.
