Id say a flop is someone who was supposed to be a big deal, but sucked...like Brian Boxworth in the NFL. Glacier is a good one...howabout one from the WWE? Ahmed Johnson maybe?

When WWF first brought in Big Show, they had him jobbing in about a week. Then he got fat and lazy and they sent him down.
He recovered, but he was a huge disappointment for a while there.

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. Yeah Barry Windham as the stalker. I swear Vince signed Barry solely for the purpose of breaking up the Horseman. They replace Barry with Sid, so Vince signs Arn and Tully. Barry gets the boot and for good measure Sid and Flair are signed a couple of years later.

I can't believe no one has said this yet, wait someone just mentioned him, but I think the biggest flop from the fed is Outback Jack. They ran videos about him for months and then he shows up, jobs for a month and disappears.
Plus any time the Fed pretends they are being invaded by another promotion: 1) ECW invades Raw 2) NWA invades Raw 3) WCW/ECW Invasion 4) NWO

Gobbeldy Gooker has to be up there with the biggest flops. Weeks of build up for a bloody TURKEY!
Can't forget Brakkus either, he just plain sucked.

I would have to go with Vader in WWF/WWE. He had a decent push for a little while, but when he didn't win the title he just kind of hung out in the mid-card/tag-team scene and eventually disappeared. I don't know if it would be considered a total flop, but I would definitely consider it a flop nonetheless.

Nathan Jones. I was so excited for his debut, and he was just TERRIBLE.
And then they brought him back for Team Sasquach, and he vanished soon after.

Any of the Rock and Roll Express' runs in the WWF. Some gimmicks/teams really only work in South and they are one of them.

Scott Steiner's 2002-2003 WWE run was a huge letdown, he just looked so terrible in the ring compared to a decade or so earlier - something of a shame really.

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) I don't think you can realistically call either Scott Steiner or Lex Luger flops. They both had long and successful careers in wrestling. Ahmed Johnson to me is a great choice as a flop. The WWE expected him to be the next big thing and he turned out to be a disaster. As far as angles, Brawl for All. What a mess.

You are correct though. The Rock n Roll express was made for the South. Ricky Morton had a southern drawl which didn't fit in with the whole rock and roll thing at the time. Of course, these days if you see a guy sporting bandanas around his neck and both knees, a southern drawl is not only expected, but is mandatory.
