Most Wrongly/Underused Talents in WWE

7. Adam Rose

To me he isn’t used correctly. He currently seems to be wanting to start a feud with Fandango but it has been on and off for months now. He is a good technical wrestler and has some average mic skills, I feel he is also fun to watch. The way in which he is being use though stumps me, is he a heel? is he a face? sometimes its hard to tell. Also what the hell happened to the bunny? Why was there no feud there? It was the perfect opportunity to bring one of the stars from NXT up to the main roster or bring back a star who has been off tv for a while. His run as Leo Kruger has shown he can be a good heel so use him that way. He may not be a top of the card performer but he should definitely be a solid mid carder.

6. Fandango

Now I am not a big fan of Fandango, but not for the reasons you might think. He is solid on the mic and can put on a good match. The problem I have is I hate his gimmick, I enjoyed it all for about 5 seconds. WWE had him beat Chris Jericho at his very first Wrestlemania but never seemed to capitalise on this. He needs new direction or a completely new gimmick. Maybe bring him back as Johnny Curtis and have him team with Curtis Axel like he used to at NXT. Also gives Axel a breath of fresh air too.

5. Zack Ryder

Now here is a man who has had his share of ups and downs in the WWE. Never on tv so he used social media as his
stepping stone. Fans loved him and WWE finally gave him his chance, they brought him to raw and eventually he was successful in capturing the United States title. He then seemed to ride the coat tails of John Cena but not much else
came after that. He dropped the title to Jack Swagger January 16th 2012, and has not been seen much after that. He still is the “Internet
Champion” which WWE could capitalise on by creating a WWE Network exclusive show which could see the main event each week being a match for the Internet championship. He has tons of charisma and is good in the ring, this could be a way to bring him back on the scene.

4. R-Truth

R-truth has been a lower to mid card man for a while now but I think he should be at least competing for the U.S/Intercontinental Championships. Don’t get me wrong he was in the title match at Wrestlemania but when have you seen him in a single title match recently. For me he is one of the best workers on the mic and his skills in the ring are great too. He has also shown in the past he can connect with the fans, Anyone remember “little Jimmy” and “IM A GOOOOD R-TRUTH!!”. I think if he is to climb up the card though he needs to be a heel, he showed glimpses of brilliance when he was a heel fueding with John Morrison right before WWE snatched away any chance he had at a WWE title shot. In recent weeks he has been a little more relevant with more tv time and a win over Stardust in the king of the ring tournament, I dont see this going far though as WWE seems to want to use him as a comedy act and this make me sad.

3. Jack Swagger

Where to start, Jack Swagger looked to have a bright future in the WWE. the 2x All American burst on the scene with a flash debuting on ECW brand and feuding with Tommy Dreamer. Swagger was unbeaten for quite some time and even became ECW Heavyweight Champion beating Matt Hardy. After dropping the title to Christian it wasn’t long before he was drafted to Raw in June 2009. At Wrestlemania 26 he won the money in the bank which he successfully cashed in on Chris Jericho to become World Heavyweight Champion. He eventually dropped the title to Rey Mysterio and went on to team with Dolph Ziggler. Not long after he was taken off tv and repackaged. On his return he was placed in the Elimination Chamber for the #1 contender for the World Heavyweight Championship. Swagger won the match but lost the title match. He has been a real american which was fun but hasn’t done a lot since. His mic skills could be worked on but his amateur wrestling background shows and he can put on a good a match. With a mouth piece say Paul Hayman I see Swagger as a true contender for the WWE World heavyweight Championship.

2. Heath Slater

Heath Slater is to me one of the best characters WWE has right now. He is cocky, confident and very arrogant. He can work a great match and is awesome on the mic. He is used very sparingly but should be used much more often in my opinion. I know lots of people are going to dispair at me for saying this but I can see him as at high mid carder to main event guy. Heck if The Miz can do it there is no reason Heath Slater cant. A great way to bring this man would to have him feud with Rusev after Payback for attacking him from behind to get the fans behind him. Then have him go on to answer John Cena’s U.S Open, put on a great match and win or lose then he can feud for the U.S Championship.

1. Cody Rhodes

Yes that’s right Cody Rhodes not Stardust. He needs to drop the Stardust gimmick and the sooner the better. It may have worked for his brother but its old news now and has been done before, He needs to be his own man. He is excellent in the ring and can work with any gimmick he is given as he has proved over the years. His mic skills are above average but not exceptional but they can be worked on. I can see Cody Rhodes becoming the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, I cant even see stardust as a U.S/Intercontinental champion. He has bags of potential WWE just need to realise it. At 29 he still has lots of time to get to the top of the mountain and he can.
