Blitzkrieg, but can't blame him for taking a six figure job that would put a let less stress and pain on his body.

This might sound like a stupid one because he had a good run but i think D-lo Brown.
I think his best was still to come until that unfortunate accident with Droz.He was excellent in the ring and had a lot of charisma.i think he could have gone further than he did

The tag team New Breed in 1987. They were actually getting over with the fans.

To add to my list Monty Brown- although he retired due to his sister passing or something along those lines. Sonny "Dont look at my ass" Siaki- had a decent run in TNA then went to the bald head and trunks look, his career seemed downhill from there, then retired after giving his brother one of his kidneys. Elix Skipper- had a decent moveset (minus play of the day/O zone/Overdrive) Lash Leroux-after WCW folded, he made 1 TNA appearance and then vanished With the exception of Lash, this is basically all the guys I pushed in WCW in the Wrestling Wars lol |

I know he had a bit of success as Adam Rose, but I quite liked Leo Kruger.

Sean O'Haire - Those devil's advocate promos were brilliant. It could have been an amazing character. Agree. But from what people said he was great on pre tapes but sucked in front of a live crowd. Also they didnt seem to have a good idea on how that character translated into a wrestling character. Just to clarify because these sayings came from two decades of games of telephone - the quote wasn't that Sean "Sucked" live, it's that he "couldn't do" the gimmick live - as a nice less-incriminating way of saying he showed up to live shows so hopped up on chemicals that he couldn't perform anything at any standard live. |

Daniel Puder. He had good mic skills and could work in the ring.

-Hade Vansen. The whole "I don't fear the darkness, I LIKE the darkness" promo was neat, and I would have liked to see if he could have done anything with it.
-Kevin Thorn. Mordecai was stupid, but I really liked his aesthetic as the original version of Kevin Thorn. But once they cut his hair short and put him in the singlet, it was over for him.
-Dean Visk. I badly wanted to see him bring his "ALWAYS SCREAMS AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNNNNNNNNNGS!!!!" gimmick to Main Roster WWE, but he never made it out of Developmental.
-Count Franklin Furter. Just because he was a foppish, cowardly heel named "Count Franklin Furter". But he made like two appearances in Developmental and was never seen again.

Seriously, I say Bastion Booger. I loved the gimmick guys as a kid. His match with Owen was my first ever WWF house show. I thought WWF would be the big time for him but he didn't even last a year with two characters. Not sure if he knew the writing was on the wall or if WWF released him. I'm sure Vince and Bruce got laughs out of the gimmick.

Elijah Burke. Good in the ring, charisma pouring off him and the Pope gimmick is gold.

This might sound like a stupid one because he had a good run but i think D-lo Brown. I think his best was still to come until that unfortunate accident with Droz.He was excellent in the ring and had a lot of charisma.i think he could have gone further than he did D'lo went from potential break out star to slumming lower carder instantly - he never got over that accident. I'll agree with him, but I'll also add: Droz himself. People forget how little wrestling experience he had when his career ended, but he was picking up stuff really quickly. I'd have loved to see his career progress into the 2000s, I think he'd have become something special tbh. |

It was a pileup of circumstances that led to Brown being greatly moved down the card after that. Not just him losing his confidence, but Vince Russo leaving around the same time (he was a big D-Lo Brown guy) and all the fresher acts flying up the card around him (Edge and Christian, Hardy Boyz, Dudley Boyz, Angle, Jericho, Radicalz). Other early Attitude Era midcarders like Val Venis and The Godfather fell down the card at the same time but lucked out by reinventing themselves with Right To Censor. Brown’s reinvention involved him wearing a turban. |

HO HO LUN MY BACKYARD PRINCE Totally agree. BIW brought HO HO into my town last year and damn dude is good. Plus loved hearing him describe the town. "You all are Big Big people." I think that was his polite way of saying "Damn I didn't realize MS was full of landwhales. I should have brought more 2x,3x,4x and 5x shirts and less Mediums." Supposedly he is coming back this upcoming year. |
