I feel Regal's time was when the rosters if WWF and WCW were both too bloated. If he were in his prime now he would be world champion.

Hassan is really the only one "screwed" by circumstances. He played the character written for him, in one of the very few attempts by WWE to be cutting edge levels of current. Then, it hit too close to home & instead of repackaging him, he was gone.
Regal's wellness violation was tragic. That "most powerful entity" character was awesome. He found a way to get the evil authority figure heat without just being a watered down Mr. McMahon. I truly wish we had seen that progress.

I don't get it. At all. It's kind of a small horse, I mean what am I missing? Am I crazy?

IDGAF, Kennedy was awesome. I have to agree, especially when you take into account how much they kept stripping away from him because he was getting too many cheers as a heel. At the end of the day, here was a guy who had a real passion for wrestling, could put on a good match, could talk really well, had a good look and build, and was loaded with charisma. The fact that WWE didn't take advantage of all of that still blows me away. You left out the part where he had injury issues and a horribly timed wellness violation that murdered what could have been the biggest push of his career

I'm not saying Anderson didn't have some problems, but they've worked past those same problems with other guys.
