Who was the biggest bust that failed miserably in WWE? Topics Discussed In this Video: 1. Biggest Busts in WWE History 2. Worst WWE Wrestler Signings 3. 10 Biggest Wrestling Busts 4. Biggest WWE Fumbles 5. Wrestlelamia
Recently Undertaker said on his podcast that Giant Gonzalez makes The Great Khali look like Lou Thesz, that has to be one of the craziest comments I've ever heard in wrestling. RIP Giant Gonzalez.
I’m still trying to figure out what Giant Gonzales, did that was so career ending to Taker in the ring. When you look back at their matches all he did was chops and chokes. He really was limited as a wrestler. He could not be too stiff in the ring because of that era of WWE.
@ZACKARDO I'm pretty sure that was one of the reason, but for me it was his fight against Johnny Impact (John Morrison). Johnny did the Starship Pain, pinned Austin and won the title. The second the fight was over, Austin just stood up and no sold the finisher, flipping people off and just walks out. This was a big moment for Johnny and Austin ruined it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jwnyLSu7kG8.htmlsi=aM030pRWkJJFE_a8
He believes that he is better than he is and he couldn't stand the fact that no one wanted to use his ideas, but doesn't share anything that he wanted to do. Probably because it would have either ruined the match or made the other wrestler look bad. He is an egotistical asshat who thinks he's all that and a bag of potato chips, but he's not.
Sting was actually Prime in TNA his feuds with Joe/ Angle/Hogan/Main Event Mafia then joining MEM yeah i think Meltzer is actually running this channel
Kharma aka Awesome Kong hurt the most. During that time, I didn't really like any of the women's wrestlers besides Beth and Natalya because they all felt so boring to me. When Kharma came, I thought we were getting something different, only for it to be cut short. After finding out how cool she was in TNA, all my reasons for liking her felt validated.
I was going to leave that very same comment. Instead I will second it. Vince was very wrong about Gail. She's gorgeous. And on top of that, at the time she may have been the best woman wrestler in the business.
I wonder if WWE would hire a guy who had "white pride" tattooed across his chest? No, that's racist. But Cain having "brown pride" is just someone being proud of their heritage
Not at that time. I remember thinking how badass Taz was in ECW. Then when I saw him stand face to face with Kurt Angle I immediately knew Vince was going to turn him into a jobber based on his size. Vince preferred larger than life monsters. If Taz would have been in his prime during this new generation of wrestlers he would have been a main eventer.
reasons for failing in WWE: Kharma - Bad timing Tazz - Bad Ego Gail Kim - Bad Timing/Badly Booked Austin Aries - Bad Ego/Difficult to work with DDP - Badly Booked/Injuries Scott Steiner - Not skilled enough/Bad timing/Badly Booked Sting - Too Old/Injuries Lex Luger - Not talented enough/Bad Attitude Cain Velazquez - Didn't give a F about WWE and/or wrestling.
Gable Stevenson - the gamble didn’t pay off. That’s the thing about people like Kurt Angle - a gold medal at the Olympics means you have the foundational knowledge to go far in wrestling, but it doesn’t mean you have the entertainment factor necessary to make it in the business. Fortunately for Angle, he did have the it factor to go with the wrestling skill, but that’s not going to be true of everybody who wins a gold medal.
I'm surprised Buff Bagwell didn't get a mention since Marcus had things that Vince can sink his teeth into (i mean metaphorically). Unfortunately, Bagwell had attitude problems and demons (as covered by DDP's channel and the Buff Bagwell episode of Dark Side of the Ring).
@kenterminateddq5311 don’t forget to. On top of being a bully backstage and a drug abuser, Bagwell had a terrible match on raw with Booker T and this match ended up killing his career in wrestling.
Can’t forget about Buff Bagwell. That guy had everything to be a big star for them, but his bullying attitude backstage, along with that awful match with Booker T on raw killed his wrestling career.
Lex wasn't that bad, he was just way too green when Vince aggressively started to push him as next Hulk Hogan and next face of the company. This naturally had audience turn on him because Vince will never learn that you cannot force who audiences like, something he still did with Roman Reigns even in like 2020. Vince had good sense of who could be the next big star, he just always went the wrong way about making that happen.
Sting got misused in the WWE, nothing will ever change my mind. Dude was called the franchise at WCW for a reason. His talent in the ring and investment in getting his character over would’ve made him a main eventer but I feel that Vince and his good ol boys thought it would humiliate WCW to bury their top guy.
Tazz came around at the wrong time. People claim he was underrated, but he came to WWF at a time when the midcard was full of talent from Kurt Angle, Jericho, Benoit, Eddie, Hardys, Edge and Christian, Dudleys, and Rikishi were all rising up the card, and what valid argument is there to push Tazz above any of those guys?
Taz would have been interesting in today’s modern times when there is far less stigma on height and the “glass ceiling” is a lot softer. Taz could talk and that’s most of the battle to being successful
Not underrated at all. I think he just doesn’t have the charisma to connect with the or a bigger/mainstream audience. It’s really boring too that he wanted to be the invincible mf and says a lot about his ego and perception. The idea creative had according to Perc A. was suiting him way better. He was okay at commentary, but I wouldn’t have missed him, if he left back when I was watching wwe.
@@panh91 Taz had mic-skills but ya he wanted to no-sell and be treated like a total monster like in ECW and that wasn't about to happen in WWF nor should it have.
@@scottdaniels8129 the only thing someone just needs to consider: RVD He wasn't made to be the face of the company yeah, but RVD, I think probably aware of this too, was able to pull off a memorable run in WWE people still remember these days. He played the game and kept hustling, sticking to his own roots though that might be pretty "ECW'ish". He lives and loves it and has such a different outlook on it. I wouldn't wanna assure that RVD's a 100% always nice guy, but he took it like it is and seemed committed. RVD wrote a part of WWE history, Tazz was sitting next to Cole commentating on it. That's the difference.
"creamed his pants", it is hilarious So True Do you think guys like gargano, gable dragon lee will be put over if it wasn't for HHH. Vince's Obsession was like some sort of mental issue
@@dhenderson1810 he booked hornswoggle as his 'son" because it was embarrassing for him to have him as a son... it was (as is 99.99% of what they did with swoggle) because it was a joke.
@@dhenderson1810 rey has the most underwhelming title runs ever. Go back and watch. The guy didn't last 3 hours as a wwe champion. Daniel bryan's popularity forced mcmahon to put him over. big thanks to the wwe fans that hijacked the shows with the yes chants. Hornswaggle was put over to make vince laugh in the worst storylines ever.
According to Taz, Vince ruined his career and didn't see anything in him is actually because he was big in another promotion. Like he wanted to make home grown stars that when talked about all they would talk about is WWE and not other promotions. Which looking at what they did to DDP I cam believe it. There are some people who got pass that, Like Eddie Guerrero and REY Mysterio, but even someone like AJ Styles, Vince didn't even see anything in him when he joined the WWE, AJ didn't have a slot on the RAW after royal rumble and only got on because of Triple H wanted him to be on the show.
Beth phoenix vs kharma at wm27 but michelle talked to undertaker her husband to cancel the storyline because she hated beth snd wanted all the spotlight for herself. freedie prince jr exposed her
when Steiner debuted at wwe in 2002 during that time he couldn't keep up because of his injuries in wcw and he botched some moves - never debut elsewhere after having suffering injuries from previous wrestling companies -
If Undertaker hadn't face Giant Gonzalez, I think Undertaker should've faced & beaten Hulk Hogan instead. And I wish that Undertaker could've faced Sting a few times & maybe Sting could've won the WWE Championship at least once for a short time before he got hurt
I truly knew Tazz was ruined when him and Spike Dudley defended their world tag title in a dark match or on HEAT before the No Way Out 2002 PPV in Milwaukee I was at
That was all he had - image, plus height. He wasn't any better in WWF than he was in WCW. Just a big awkward guy in a wrestling ring, a taller version of Great Khali.
@@ernestcruz6316and both of them debuted at the wrong place and wrong time Gonzalez couldn't wrestle because of his basketball injuries same with Khali he debuted when he became immobile.
@@RomanZ-zy1ef Gonzalez had those issues the whole time he was a wrestler. Plus very little training before he came to the roster, and never learned how to properly work a match. He was just a big dude. He and Khali never should have been signed in the first place.
@@ernestcruz6316 exactly and people with such size like that don't live very long but idk how Khali managed to live through it it's sad Gonzalez isn't alive today but yeah they should have never been signed into wrestling they hardly kept up in the ring they couldn't do moves properly they should have just lived a normal life instead of causing their immobility to get worse.
She was supposed to have wm27 match vs beth phoenix but michelle mclame ruined it. She wanted a different storyline and we got snooki 🤡. Freddie prince jr exposed her
Awesome Kong/Kharma wasn't a bust. She became pregnant with a child that she lost and couldn't handle it. Plus, I'm pretty sure that nobody in the wwe at the time cared enough to check on her mental well-being before she returned.
to be fair to Awesome Kong, she got pregnant and Vince before that had no idea how to use her, she would been awesome to see just wreck everyone ! she would been perfect for this gen of women's wrestling
Kharma wasn’t a bust at all. She was pregnant and went through some medical issues. WWE didn’t honor her request for her to come back naturally and when she was ready. She spoke about this in an interview around 2023… maybe watch that before making videos like these in which we’re calling someone a bust when they’re not
Was I the only one who say the thumbnail and was here cause I thought biggest bust meant biggest breasts? 🤷 I think awesome Kong would still be up there 😜
...the worst part about Kharma's lackluster run in WWE...because of her atheletism and size...her not being able to perform for the company...led to Vince creating his own Kharma in the form of Nia Jax... 💯
Not really. He had a wm27 match set up between her and phoenix. But michelle mclame talked to her husband to and she was giving snooki at wm27 instead 😤
He didn’t. Vince wanted to make Taz an underdog who would rise to the top to be the face of Ruthless Aggression era. Taz didn’t want to be an underdog because that would hurt himself & his ECW fans.
@@luckilew You can't really blame Vince. Most WWE Fans didn’t even know Taz or his achievements. Pushing a character to the moon at first wasn’t really a smart thing to do. Rocky Maivia, John Cena & Roman Reigns are best examples in this context.
TNA Impact had so many great stars. It's sad that so many of them didn't transfer when they went to WWE. Also, it seemed like Vince just wanted to bury any former WCW stars. Outside of Booker T, most WCW stars didn't have a chance of WWE thanks to their booking. DDP was wasted in WWE. And damn, the destroyed Sting by losing to HHH. They took an Icon and buried him.
ECW Taz is one of my favorite runs of all time. I was maybe 13ish and I fully believed that Taz could legitimately whoop anyone he chose. Survive if I let youuuuu! Great stuff.
I still absolutely HATED the Gable Steveson vs. Baron Corbin match at last July’s Great American Bash. The real reason why it was a failure was that it was heavily marred by Steveson’s past allegations that had no evidence found. And the fact that a double count out ended the match at an NXT event just made it even worse. Aside from Ava getting death threats in 2024 over the ordeal with Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, and The Rock, this match alone is also why NXT does *NOT* get a pass, developmental or not. Exactly what I keep saying to the casuals ever since the Raw after WrestleMania 39 was heavily poisoned by a certain someone whose profile from WWE’s website was eradicated following his resignation from the TKO board due to similar allegations, but even worse.
