Seeing how today guys like Kofi Kingston already have 7 years of experience on the main roster, looking back to the mid 90's when guys jumped left and right, who needed a longer run in the WWE to establish themselves?
Shane Douglas? Skip? Haukshi? Rad Radford?
Anyone that sticks out in your mind looking back when you think to yourself, that's all the time they spent in the WWF? A little more seasoning and they would be just fine.

Hakushi's a good one. I wasn't watching during New Generation but I thought he was cool. I always liked Adam Bomb and Warlord. Wish they would've stuck around.

Razor Ramon. Its incredible to think he was only in the WWF for less than 4 years.
I'm certain that if he stuck around he would have easily established himself as a main eventer & WWF Champion.

I always thought Ken Shamrock had potential if he could have had more time

Nah, his demons existed long before his WCW stint. There's a reason that he was never given a real sniff of the main title despite being big, talented and over and having all the right connections.

I always felt that Vader and Shane Douglas deserved longer runs and better pushes there.

Ken Shamrock Crush Bertha Faye without the Bertha Faye gimmick(she would have made a great early predecessor to Awesome Kong if the WWF or WCW had any common sense) Dan Severn Savio Vega Legion of Doom Mo(Viscera was around, maybe a Men on a Mission reunion might work)

Gotta be the Steiners. They should have dominated the tag ranks right until LOD returned in '97.

Douglas was overrated, Candido didn't have much going for him and Radford was your typical upper card jobber. Don't see why so many ECW fans think these guys could've been stars in WWF or WCW.

Never understood why Vince couldn't make them into a dominate tag team I recall hearing at some point that Vince was intent on breaking them up and having them feud, but they refused. The brother v. brother thing was originally proposed to them before it was done with the Harts. Of course they had a terrible feud years later in WCW.

I guess the Rock too. I'll say Ahmed Johnson.

I know he had a long run total, but there was way more shelf life to the Mr. Bob Backlund gimmick than they got out of it.

Hakushi for sure and keep him a damn heel. His face turn and jobbing him out killed him off.

Dean Douglas? Skip? Haukshi? Rad Radford? Anyone that sticks out in your mind looking back when you think to yourself, that's all the time they spent in the WWF? A little more seasoning and they would be just fine. Neither as good as Haukshi was he wasn't the type of wrestler WWF fans cheered for.

Those gimmicks suck! All four of those guys were in their prime here and they never got to really show what they could do. ECW fans saw them at their best and had faith that they could be stars. They were mostly wrong, but that's why we thought that. Anyone who judges Shane Douglas or Chris Candido based on their WWF runs is missing it.
