Justin Gabriel, I'm ready for a Gabriel push any time now.

Paul Burchill - Looked badass and always had decent matches on ECW. He would be great on NXT now. Could of had the Drew push.
Ken Doane - Enjoyed his run on RAW as a singles wrestler. A good look and seemed beyond his years in terms of ring psychology IMO.
Shelton Benjamin - A really fun guy to watch. A legend in the ladder match. Jericho vs Benjamin and Taboo Tuesday 04 and vs HBK on RAW stand out to me.
Trent Baretta - Always looked for to his matches on Superstars around in 2010/2011. Loved the theme song.
A-Train/Albert/Tensai - A true monster that could surprise you. Always had a fun moveset.
Pierre of the Quebecers - I liked his look and thought he moved around very quick for a guy his size.
Super Crazy - Always entertained me. Even though his look was a bit strange.

Curt Hawkins, Chris Masters, Tyler Reks and Drew McIntyre are all great wrestlers who had so much to offer.
All absolutely sucked during their early runs, and then went and reinvented themselves and worked on their ring work.
Masters in particular is a massive loss.

Stevie Richards. I thought he was amazing. My name on this very board (cheap pop) comes from him.
As a kid, I was a big fan of the Headbangers, Savio Vega, Hakushi, Al Snow, Bam Bam Bigelow (though he got to main event a WrestleMania...not sure how low you mean when you say "lower card"). Nowadays I'm pretty fond of Rybaxel and the New Nation.

There's a lot of them over the years, but at the top of the list would be Jamie Noble. Always adored that guy.

"Quickdraw" Rick McGraw. i figured since he had a nickname he was going to break out to the top one of these days (i was young and a wrestling newbie) i do remember him and "The Magnificent" Muraco having some good matches by saturday morning squash match standards anyway.

I liked D'Lo and X-Pac as much as I liked anyone as a kid. Been a Drew Mac fan for a long time now. Right now, Slater has the highest like to stardom ratio for me.

I actually really really really liked Kevin Thorne.
His music and entrance were great, his look was great, his manager was great. He just felt like the complete package of a new kind of twisted for WWE.
Paul Burchill. I saw him come up and when he made it to WWE I thought for sure he could be the next HHH type of wrestler. A mixture of technique and brawler.
I'm sad neither made it.
Crash Holly.

I always thought Billy Kidman had a lot of potential throughout his career as an underdog face and I think he could have served a lot better in that role than Rey Mysterio. It saddens me that his biggest push came against looking like a jobber to Hulk Hogan. Adding to this, his heel push after the SSP botch should have went somewhere

I was one of ten Abraham Washington fans on the planet.
The Abraham Washington show was so bad it was a goldmine of hilarity to me. The flashing APPLAUSE on the titantron, Abraham being more concerned about his rent-a-center deposit on the set furniture than the guests fighting on the show, and last but not least Tony Atlas' performance as sidekick of the show.
Was enjoying his run as P2P's manager too, unfortunately then he made that Kobe Bryant joke. Was probably a good decision, because he would have ended up saying something really offensive in a few weeks with that live mic at ringside.
I would have liked to see him get a run on the B-shows like Superstars. He wasn't a good wrestler, but he had a great look and was hilarious.

Also, Savio Vega and Marc Mero during his Wildman gimmick.
Great matches.

It went over everyone's head and it was actually the "apology" by Cole that Drew attention to it. I agree that he should've gotten a run on the lesser shows. He wasn't a good wrestler, far from a potential star, but i think instead of firing him, they should've made a comedy jobber that gives token wins to low card faces.

Paul Burchill and Joey Mercury. Both are phenomenal wrestlers and can make anybody look like a million bucks.

I agree with you actually, I just thought nobody would agree so I didn't say it. Yeah rape jokes are bad, but it was the same joke every late night host had been making every night for 10 years and nobody cared then. But he also made a line directed to Rosa Mendes shortly after the Jackson Andrews incident, so it was probably only a matter of time until he mentioned 9/11 or Benoit

Mark Jindrak - Dude was 6'6 and could move like a cruiserweight.
Tajri - Loved those cruiserweight matches on SmackDown circa 2001-2005.
Justin Gabriel - Dude can fly.
Tyson Kidd - See above.
