For me its guys like Val Venis, The Godfather, Steve Blackman, Bob Holly, Rikishi, Ken Shamrock, Goldust......Guys that literally spent their careers around mid card spots with out moaning about getting a main event push, The guys that just wanted to work there bollocks off to entertain and not worry there not going become WHC or WWE champs,
Not the hurricance or London and Kendrick who we're alway lower card talents, even Charlie Haas was never ay good as a mid carder on his own
I class experience as guys who have been in the business 10/15 years plus, and guys who have done a good deal of time with WWE in the past (at least 5 years).
With that in mind, Hurricane and Haas definitely make that bracket. Hurricane is a former cruiserweight champion, and the longest reigning one at that. Haas has tag teamed with Shelton Benjamin for years and has been involved in angles with Kurt Angle (Team Angle). Both Hurricane and Haas have been in the wrestling business 10 years and more, that for me makes them experienced.
The guys you listed of course make the grade too. Although I doubt very much that we'd see Val Venis or The Godfather with their gimmicks as they don't fit the current product. Plus, I'm pretty sure that Godfather is retired. I think he only does limited indy appearances nowadays. Plus he's kind of old. Ken Shamrock is also in pretty rough shape last I heard. Goldust has to be one of the names being considered though.
