Face Bad News Barrett. It lasted like for a week and then not only did he stay heel, but dropped the "Bad News" gimmick altogether. And it probably killed whatever momentum was left in his WWE career.

Natalya being incorrect in pop culture references from a year or two ago. That thing had legs! Also, Trevor Murdoch the singer.

They should've done more with Gail Kim's Matrix getup. Have her offer opponents the blue pill or the red pill before every match.

Agreed. What's not to like? Well, right before going out for the match he lit the gorilla position on fire. That's a less than desirable trait in a new employee, and a hard one to overcome and shake off when working that day. Wait what?!

Papa Shango lasted about a year and a half, but a few months after his debut he was pretty much given up on, and became a JTTS. I really wish he could of had a batshit insane feud against The Undertaker.

From heel Doink's in-ring debut to his face turn was almost exactly 8 months.
I'm convinced that if they had stayed the "scary clown who may have magic powers" course, he could have lasted through the new generation as a heel, through the Attitude era as a face, and would still be making appearances today as a legendary "supernatural" gimmick similar to the Undertaker, but without the constraint of one single perfomer's aging.
Even the fact that we never got a program using a Batman/Joker dynamic with the Undertaker during those 8 months is a crime.

Stevie Richards and the Blue Meanie were together for like two weeks in 1999 before Meanie left. Aired one Blair Bytch Project vignette (which featured them playing the atrocious In Your House video game for PS1) and then nothing. They would've made a great midcard comedy act.

I'm one million percent sure that Phantasio could have gotten over, and refuse to be debated on this point. I'm inclined to agree because, back in 1995, I was ordering and watching USWA weekly tv shows on VHS tapes, and in some episodes Phantasio was "The Spellbinder". Somehow he didn't completely suck all those times. He was like Doink in that it was a terrible gimmick when it was done as silly comedy, like taking a jobber's underpants, but as a heel doing things like making a cane appear out of thin air to cheat, then disappear it's pretty awesome.

Sean O’haire. But I’m not telling you anything you didn’t already know. Wasn't this more on O'Haire just not being very good in front of a live audience? He killed it in taped stuff, but he just had problems, personal and otherwise, everywhere else.

Charlie Haas putting on the lucha mask mid-match and suddenly being a 100% different character with full health was amazing Haha I forgot about that. Also seconded on Mordecai I liked him and didn’t get the whole he looked like he had stage fright thing

Then.....no change
