Colt Cabana should have been a damn solid US/IC champ, much like Jericho was THE IC guy for so many years.
Monty Brown/Marcus Cor Von had so much natural charisma that it is a damn shame he left the business. I'm sure if he didn't have family issues to deal with (I think that was what it was), he would have been huge.
Outside of the silly pirate character, I never saw much in Paul Burchill. Maybe I was just let down after his early videos online made him look LIKE A GIANT by tossing around 120 pound guys.

I think Elijah Burke and MVP could have been main eventers if used correctly.
Guys who I think could be solid mid-carders but were wasted are Kaval, Kevin Thorn, Paul Burchill, The Brian Kendrick, Paul London, Colt Cabana, Jimmy Yang and Trevor Murdoch.

MVP and Burke could have been big time, and still could if they came back tomorrow. I liked Kendrick and Murdoch too.

Shelton Benjamin I always thought he'd look right with the WHC

Is it too early to make a case for Chris Masters? Or is it too LATE?
Chris Masters.

Tarver, Kaval, MVP, and Burke are the most obvious recent ones, to me. Burke will be back, and so will MVP probably, so I'm not too upset about them. Tarver could have made someone a great mouthpiece. Kaval's firing is literally the most frustrating example of the WWE officials' complete, dickish insanity. (Also, I have a feeling I'm going to regret saying this, but has anyone else noticed how many of the people mentioned in this thread aren't white?)
Going back farther, Bigelow should have been a megastar. Matt Bourne as the original Doink could have gone farther. And if it weren't for the injury, Waylon Mercy should have done everything that Sid did in the WWF.
But the ultimate, number one example for me HAS to be Eugene. He's so talented, was doing so well as a face, he had the "I was faking all along!" heel turn in his pocket at any time, and then it all got messed up. Big shame.

Sean O'Haire in his Devil's Advocate gimmick was the personification of wasted potential but hell...I'm not telling you anything that you don't already know.

Of all the names mentioned in this thread, the only one who I think could come in tomorrow and be a star is Elijah Burke.
I hope he gets the chance to right that wrong someday.

MVP no doubt. He really could have been this generation's Rock.

Paul Burchill could have been huge if used right.
The Brian Kendrick would have made a nice upper-midcard cowardly heel if he didn't mess things up.
Luke Gallows I thought had what it took to be a main eventer.
Sean O'Haire was another bit of wasted potential. Good look, decent mic skills, good in the ring. He could have won the World Title.
Lance Cade had the it factor imo. I was a big fan of the guy, thought he was great in the ring, had good mic skills and a great look.

Jeff Jarrett could've been a bigger star if Austin agreed to work with him. A short term main event/WWF title run at least.

MVP is the only person I think could have been a main eventer.
Shelton, from what I read, never cared to try and take himself to the next level. He could have had a good WHC run on SD I think, though never the face of the show.
Burchill, Kendrick, Kaval, and Gallows I think could have been solid Mid-Card/Upper Midcard guys, but never ME/World Title material (And I like the 4 guys).

I really liked Elijah Burke on ECW, I liked his move set and I always felt he deserved better than being the third guy on the third show. That said, I really dug John Morrison's video package with CM Punk at that time, so I don't know...
