Call me crazy, but I don't think we've seen the last of Matt Morgan on WWE TV. I wouldn't be surprised to see him back.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Diamond Dallas Page yet.
Vince brings in a multiple time wCw champion, and what does he do with him? Jobs him not only to Taker, but to Taker's WIFE.
If that doesn't constitute a FLOP, nothing does.

[/move][/quote] I actually think bringing Matt Morgan back would be a good thing if they change is look(maybe blonde hair), have him not talk by giving him a manager(a female manager who can talk would be cool), and just have him destroy people. I'd be happy with Morgan as a midcard champ or even world champ. His name maybe "The Instrument of Destruction" Hannibal Swartzkopf.

Here I WAS going to go for the comedy answer and say "Mae Young popping her top" cause those things were pretty goddamn floppy. What size bra does she wear, a 38 long?

[/quote] The guy's a talented big man that from what I read has been in Japan. He seems to be pretty well-spoken in interviews. With some more seasoning, he may be more ready for the big time than he was last time around.

Scott Steiner's run with the E is probably the most recent and biggest flop I can remember. All that buildup for a feud with Test. You could almost hear the toilet flush.

Alot of that was Steiner's own fault, though. They brought him in and gave him a main-event fued with Triple H, but then he was absolutely terrible in the ring so they stopped pushing him.

For wrestlers that should have done more but didn't for some reason or another in the WWE, I definately think Lugar, Ahmed Johnson, Vader, Goldberg, and DDP. I also think Bulldog should have had at least one WWE championship.
I know I'm going to get flamed here, but I think Shelton Benjamin has flopped so far he might as well quit and go to TNA. It was the losing streak that did it for me and the fans. No one takes him seriously now. He was starting to get over as at least a funny solid midcarder with MAMA, but that didn't last. Being saddled with Haas again and giving him the tag team championship has done squat.
I think Lashley should have stayed on SD to get further training. He still too green to hold any championship.

I just thought of some more flops that shouldn't have been:
Test-Don't laugh. During his original run, post-Steph breakup, he was over as a babyface. But they didn't do anything except put in him on various teams and turn him heel.
Tatanka-He should not have turned heel in his original run. He could have definately had been a solid midcarder.
Crush- Doink the Clown and a stupid heel turn. Plus getting arrested doesn't count.
Rikishi- Never should have turned heel.
I hate to say this, especially since it's still recent, but Bam Bam Bigelow should have been WWE's version of Vader, but they had other ideas (namely Lawrence Taylor).
You know, all of the above have one thing in common, a bad character turn. Randy Orton is still recovering from his face turn, although he is doing it pretty nicely now.

Or El Gigante.
I say Alex the Pug Porteau beats that. He was the Kurt Angel amateur gimmick without heat.

Nathan Jones was a pretty big flop. I mean, here's this legit S.O.B. that was sent fear into everyone through his vignettes. And then he debuts... and nothing. He couldn't even bodyslam correctly. It was so ugly they had to pull him from WrestleMania.

I agree, a lot of that had to do with Steiner himself. He's so roided out he can't crap, he's clearly bug f*** crazy, he stopped working in 98, his promos are laughable, he pretty much doomed himself. Still, the E should have known better than to push him right away like they did when they knew he had two years of rust on him.

Phantasio the wrestling magician. I mean the guy used a wedgie as a finisher WTF, is that a pic of.....Has to be from some show in Europe.... Someone asked why was Sam Houston a flop.......Well in the mid/late 80's this guy tore it up in the south and in texas and was a young star with all sorts of potential.. Well shows up in wwe and within 2 months be basically became a jobber.....Now I have heard he was a cousin or something of Jake Roberts which could explain his drug problems that derailed his career but the guy did NOTHING in the wwf and so what if he was in the RR (they need 30 men and hell if drew carey can be in it , its not a big accomplishment)... Onto the other person who wondered why lugar and steiner were considered a flop...Well others have summed it up well already but they had the ball given to them and they dropped it.

Sam Houston is Jake's brother, by the way. I agree with everything else, though.

Here I WAS going to go for the comedy answer and say "Mae Young popping her top" cause those things were pretty goddamn floppy. What size bra does she wear, a 38 long? Agreed. You could bungee-jump of those puppies.
