All hype and then either they flopped or lost in the shuffle
Here are my top 5(no particular order)
1. Sam Houston 2. Al Perez 3. Scott Steiner 4. David Sanmartino (ok he couldnt really wrestle to begin with but he was bruno's son!) 5. Lex Lugar (partly resposible for his short comings)

Eh, Matt Morgan is very talented, he was just booked in a crappy gimmick and buried. And had his awesome finisher taken away from him.

I could be wrong, though, since I only ever saw him once or twice as Carlito's bodyguard on SmackDown!EDIT:A stalling suplex into a uranage. I stand corrected.

Not WWE but I agree 100%. They hyped him for literally a calendar year and he wins like 8 matches. WWE wise they hyped the living hell out of Ludvig Borga back in 93, even having him end Tatanka's undefeated streak. But nothing ever came of it. Most of Vaders run in WWE was pretty unremarkable considering what he did in WCW and Japan. And a true wrestlecrap legend. Barry Windham as The Stalker. What a joke. And the last flop and the biggest WWE ouch ever, both the reformation of the NWO and the entire invasion.

Maven, XFL, Brawl for All, December to Dismember, Cena as a face

Hmm... I'm not a fan of Cena, by any means, BUT such statement is just absurd. We may not like how they "developed" (neutered down) Cena's rapper-thug character into a friendly SuperMarine, but he's still very over and sells tons of merc. He has gone through a hard time with the fans during the Jericho-Angle-HHH feuds, but now he's as over as ever... So, if Cena's face run is a failure, I guess WWE would like to have some more failures like that. Back on topic: Lex Luger's American Hero run was laaaaame. Fake Diesel and Fake Razor the Invasion angle

WWECW, Adam Bomb, Yoko's Face turn and all the others mentioned so far are very true as well.

Having anyone other that Matt Borne play Doink. Turning Doink face. The Wrestlemania 10 Doink was not the Doink I know. That was Phil Apollo and hes sub-par.
President Jack Tunney the on air authority figure. Hey If you didn't know that Jack Tunney was nothing more than regional promoter behind the scenes than the WWF had you for loop. He had no real backstage power. I just thought even as kid that there is no way this guy makes decisions in the back. Personally I consider this a flop because I never bought into it.
Strike Force. Strike force sucked. They had that lame song w/ video and I'm glad they were not around for long. Rick Martel and Tito Santana just didn't seem to blend well for me.
The New Midnight Express. Bad gimmick reincarnation. Midnight Express is a touchy subject and they touched in an improper manner with this stinker.
M-M-MMMMMMM-Matt MORGAN! Speech impaired gimmicks don't do too well most of the time and it sucked here too.
Kenzo Suzuki. The guy started out as some heel were supposed to fear and ended up joke later on. Bad early gimmick no one takes seriously in these days.
