I actually liked "Yakuza" Jimmy Yang.
I also think they should have stayed with Umaga as a face. Too many heel monsters around.
I also think they gave up on the New Breed Angle too quick. They could have found someone to replace Monty.

O'Haire is definitely at the top of the list. I don't know a single person, IRL who wasn't into it. Berlyn ranks up there too, although my friends and I knew after it happened, that WCW would find someway to mess it up.
Lance Storm in WCW. He came in with solid hype and interest (especially considering he had only been in ECW really as a tag wrestler), won belts and then just slowly and slowly became watered down to the point Nash pinned him in record time. Way to make a main eventer, there WCW.
Cryme Tyme. I honestly thought they getting pretty fun in the ring and I think they had the potential to be a breakout tag team along the line of the Dudleys. I mean, I remember one match on Raw, where I marked for Shad hitting a forearm, just because he made a loud machine gun sound before hitting it.

Muhammad Hassan, Heel Doink, and Mordacai (the gimmick, rather than the fat guy who played him).

The Rock, D'Lo, the Godfather, and Mark Henry are all black; Owen was the "Black Hart," so he could be in, too. Too bad they never considered Steve Blackman, though ...  |

Paul Burchill- Dammit there aren't enough pirates in wrestling.
Berlyn- You can't have an evil German because of columbine??? Oh wait, he wore a trench coat like them. The logic behind this irritates me to no end.
Tajiri/Sakoda/Jimmy Yang- Yakuza stable. Seriously, it would've been a damn cool stable. I also find the yakuza interesting.
Matt Morgan- Why they brought him up a man with a degree in communications with a stuttering gimmick boggles the mind.
Chris Nowinski: Raw GM- This would've kicked so much ass.
Chief Morley- At the RAW show I went to a few years back, he got some decent heat. Why go back in time to a stale gimmick is beyond me. Couldn't he have entered the Judgement Day IC title battle royal as Chief Morley??? God, I can't believe I know that wacky bit of trivia.

 "It's my world!" Then they totally ruined him by teaming him up with old fat Animal from the Roid Warriors. Marching with that big chocolate, he was a big poet. WWE REALLY missed the boat on an off beat Snitsky/Heidenreich Tag Team. |

Is it wrong that i thought the evil Captain Nazi Heidenreich gimmick that he was meant to get where he was a defrosted Nazi wrestler would have been interesting?

Almost forgot... I was really digging the Palmer Cannon character. Too bad he didn't stick around, although I believe he left on his own.

I agree the character was entertaining and had real potential but he quit on a European tour. The rumour was that JBL was bullying him but I don't think that was ever confirmed. |

Nazi gimmicks usually work for obvious reasons. It's considered cheap heat, but cheap heat>no heat. WWE could never do it now though, because the TV execs and stockholders wouldn't like it. |

Like when JBL did a Nazi salute in Germany and was dropped from shows he did financial slots on. It's too risky. |

WWE REALLY missed the boat on an off beat Snitsky/Heidenreich Tag Team. They missed the boat on a heel Snitsky/Heidenriech tag team. It still astounds me that there was never a Brothers of Destruction vs Heidenriech & Snitsky match, I thought for months that it was a lock for Mania. |

Tazz, when he came to the WWF, he has the distinction of giving Kurt Angle his first PPV loss, and could have been pushed as hard in WWF as he was in WCW, but the bookers in WWF saw his lack of size as a limitation instead of a way to put him over. Imagine if you will, Tazz in a feud with someone like the Undertaker, or even better, Chris Benoit at that time... one could have capitolized on either the David vs Goliath angle with taker, or a shooter vs shooter program with Benoit as they debuted the same week in WWF. A very missed opportunity.
