With WWE Doing what they are doing with Stars like Sandow, and every African American and maybe even Rollins until proven otherwise, I thought it would be nice to take a Painful Trip down Memory Lane, and let you guys pick some of the most screwed over WWE Stars that have ever stepped foot there.
Whether it be Gimmicks, just not being used right or to the best of the Ability. These guys may have deserved, and never could get the big one. both, or more, most of if not all of these stars deserved better in the E. The question is, who did they screw up with the Most? Have at it, you can pick more than one! And if I missed a name, I'm sorry, I'm stupid.
I'm sure this thread will be interesting anyway

What the hell are Mr Perfect and Tito Santana doing on this list? Legends, but they never won the Big One
And lest we try to forget Mr. Perfects last WWE run... and Tito Santana's Matador Gimmick which may have unintentionally birthed Los Matadores...

Most of these guys did just fine.
There's only a handful that even qualify for the poll.
I picked DDP for the stupid stalker bullshit, for the record.

For the record a lot of these guys did fine, but many believe they deserved Main Event slots at one point of their Careers, and/or a WWE Title run, but never got them, and sometimes had a really bad run with Joke Gimmicks, or even previous gimmicks which were bad.
Was just thinking of an All around Criteria for a vast selection of people was all.

DDP. However, what's the argument for Gangrel? Do people really think he should've been a main eventer?

Edge, Christian, Taker, Viscera, Matt and Jeff Hardy
The guy really helped Talent Along but never got anything himself, would have been nice to see him get a Midcard Title run or something like that... but nothing at all. That really sucked for the Vampire Warrior... Pun Intended.

In the case of Malenko and DDP, weren't both of them close to if not in their 50s when they went to WWE? They'd have got a Finlay push at best regardless.

DDP was Older but that dude is STILL in great shape, and he had a great storyline planned for a Peoples Champion Feud with The Rock, but instead they used him as a Stalker?
DDP was one of the most over guys in WCW, ever. You heard the Pop when he took off the Mask as the Stalker. What they did with him was Garbage. And Feuds with Kane, Big Show, and then his thing with Christian, nothing helped him, they made him look like a complete Joke.
As for Dean, he could have had IC Title Runs, and a World Title Run even. That guys Work Ethic wasn't matched by many. Many people praise just how much of a worker Dean really is. What did the E do? The man Feuded with Women. Screw the WWE, really.

Not everyone needed the WWF title. And Perfect's last run was fine for what it was. He wasn't a kid anymore. Ditto for Tito's 'El Matador' stage. Going on complete body of work, both guys had tremendous careers

A good chunk of that list either just weren't charismatic enough to get over outside of wrestling skill (Morrison, Benjamin, Ted Jr.), had out of control drug issues (Jannetty, Regal, Kendrick), dealt with injuries (Tazz), just weren't looking to main event in the first place (Ultimo Dragon, Viscera), or just plain weren't good enough to main event (Hassan).
It's rare when WWE truly screws up with someone just because they didn't like them. They're nowhere as petty as fans like to imagine.

Any poll where you dont vote for Gangrel (good or bad poll) an angel loses its wings.
ALWAYS VOTE FOR GANGREL.

Ok though you have at least a bit of a point with many here (Though again I have to say it wasn't so much about demons and injuries, it's the Gimmicks WWE made them do as well), Hassan isn't one of them.
Hassan got screwed. He was set to go OVER Undertaker at the next PPV, but a Taped Segment on a Smackdown where Masked Guys came out and beat down Taker like a day after a Bomb Explosion completely de-railed Hassan and he never recovered.
That guy was destined to be a Top Heel in WWE, Timing and WWE cutting hi balls off immediately from it (Even though that segment was their decision) ended him.

1.) How exactly are they screwing up Rollins career right now until proven otherwise? His W/L is outstanding and they just made him THE guy everyone is talking about (even if it is because they didn't want him to turn...that is what a heel turn is supposed to do after all)
2.) You really think that in 2000/01 Dean Malenko should have had a World Title run? Over who? Triple H? Austin? The Rock? Angle?

Big Show. The guy came in as a former WCW champion, the seeming heir to the legacy of Andre, and WWE promptly made him into a big goof that no one could take seriously.
RVD-but that was his own making. The guy was FINALLY getting the push many felt was long deserved, he was holding the WWE title and helped re-birth ECW, had some kick ass matches with Kurt Angle...and then he got pulled over smoking pot. We all know what happened from there.

Ultimo Dragon was only there to wrestle at Wrestlemania and in Madison Square Garden. He did both in the same night... so he got everything he wanted out of his WWE run. I'd definitely say DDP, especially since he gave up his guaranteed contract with Turner A good chunk of that list either just weren't charismatic enough to get over outside of wrestling skill (Morrison, Benjamin, Ted Jr.), had out of control drug issues (Jannetty, Regal, Kendrick), dealt with injuries (Tazz), just weren't looking to main event in the first place (Ultimo Dragon, Viscera), or just plain weren't good enough to main event (Hassan).

It aired the SAME DAY as the London Bombings there was little the WWE could do as the tapes were already sent to the network when it happened... and UPN flat out refused to allow WWE to have the character show up on their channel and I doubt Spike/USA would have wanted him either WWE's original idea was for Hassan to be off television for a while until the heat died down. Hassan said no and quit to become an actor.

I hope Rollins succeeds, I just hope that this angle makes him and doesn't break him.
2. Dean could have worked with any of those guys and put on a damn near 5 Star Match, ESPECIALLY Angle. Maybe not win the title, but he deserved a lot more than he got. I mean seriously...

How has a guy with such a combination of in-ring talents and charisma being a jobber for much of his career?
