RANDOM MAIN EVENTERS | WWE’s Forgotten Top Guys
WWE has often been criticised for not pushing enough new wrestlers to prominent positions, keeping the same status quo of top guys for years at a time, all while letting equally as talented people get lost in mid card purgatory. That said, while there are plenty of examples of this happening, we can’t say this is true all the time; because, on occasion, the company will take someone they normally wouldn’t see much in and push them to the moon. But while this has given us surprise stars such as Daniel Bryan or Becky Lynch, it’s also failed on several occasions, with some of these main event runs being so short; that they often go forgotten about. But who are these wrestlers? Well, join us today as we look at some of the quickest top of the card runs of them all it in Random Main Eventers: WWE’s Forgotten Top Guys.

right drop the 'Hardcore' and just go by Bob Holly drop the crash Holly gear and just wear generic black attire or even just jeans to look like brawler. things like that make a difference.

The strangest one is Christian not ever being pushed as a main event guy because Vince thought he was ugly and didn’t like his face. It’s a really stupid reason to not push a wrestler and even as a straight guy I can see that Christian is a handsome guy. You should add Cesaro to this list as well. He was treated like a mid card guy for most of his run and then got pushed into the main event briefly. He lost to Reigns and then his main event push was over.

@michaelsinger4638 Год назад

I really think they should have kept the title on Bob Backlund a bit longer the second time. He had really established his psychotic heel character by beating Bret. And Diesel wasn’t ready quite yet. Having Diesel beat him a bit later on would have been better imo.

Nash might not have been in his 20's but he was definitely a rising star at that point for sure, and having Backlund drop the belt to Nash when he did just felt like it was the right time to me. It's just my opinion though.

@JDjade1 Год назад

Big Boss Man is actually one of those I would put on the list of best wrestlers to never win the WWF title. He was surprisingly super agile for a big man back during his first run. His first ever match, he jobbed to Tully Blanchard and took Blanchard's finisher of the Slingshot Suplex. Also if you can find it, search for a steel cage match he had with Hulk Hogan at MSG prior to Wrestlemania 5 and especially look for the moment where he took a superplex off the top of the Cage. That type of move was something no one would have imagined back in the day.

In hindsight, I wish Mr Backlund had his second title run last longer than three days. That heel persona he portrayed was great, a classic moral high ground type that people would love to hate. I don't think an extended run with the title would've worked too well, something like a month up to the Royal Rumble would've been fine. The Diesel squash could've happened at the Royal Rumble and maybe put Diesel over even stronger considering it wouldve been on pay per view.

Backlund's 2nd run was lost on the "new gen" era fans. His technical wrestling precision was a given. The heel promos he cut were gold & ahead of their time.

A very convincing portrayal of a complete mental breakdown

One question: How in hell do you consider Kevin Nash a "forgotten" top guy? Between his title run, the nWo faction and his later feud with Triple H for the title, he was never out of the main event slot anywhere after getting his singles push back in the '90s. And WWE has never failed to remind us of his past successes at every opportunity, so how is he forgotten? Christian was jerked around by WWE, and so was Cesaro. But Nash was always given high profile spots with WWF/WWE, as well as the late '90s WCW and later with TNA/Impact. So how was he "forgotten"?
