Gone too soon...

[Cyrus Riddle]

Which wrestler do you feel was never given the proper chance to show their full potential for whatever reason?

I have always been a firm believer that Muhammad Hassan would have been a great asset to WWE had it not been for UPN pitching a bitch and making sure his career never flourished.

[Booty Tang]

Who betta then Kanyon? Dude could have been a solid midcard champ for years.

I did enjoy watching Kanyon, it's a shame he had his demons.

[Fuje Vise]

Both are prime examples. UPN were little bitches. I can't believe WWE caved. It's not even like the wound up staying with them in the end.
Imagine where he'd be today.

Chris Kanyon will always be one of those incredibly underrated guys who no one ever took seriously. But he was amazing.
Truly the "Innovator of Offense".

My contribution to this topic is Sean O'Haire. O'Haire was a rare perfect package that had the look, size and unbelievable athletic talent.
I'd have pushed him to the moon.

I thought O'Haire was gonna be something at one point

Another guy that I wish was still with us is Larry Sweeney, I had the privilege of seeing him at ROH shows a few times and he was golden.

What about Paul London. I thought he was a great athlete and entertaining. I would have made him united states champion and feud with Evan Bourne

London was a victim of his own stubborness...although, I thought London and Kendrick made a real good team.

[Sabretooth]

I never liked Kendrick. Don't know why he just never appealed to me. I thought London was awesome

I never really paid much attention to Kendrick until he developed on his own in TNA, and I can't stand him now.

[Booty Tang]

O Haire is on my list as well dude had all the makings of being amazing. Not sure why Vince let him go.

Carlito also gets a mention

Paul London would be a fantastic addition to the x division. I would pay to see Paul London vs kazarian

[Cyrus Riddle]

I'd love to see that

[Sabretooth]

Right

[Fuje Vise]

Paul London was in TNA in the early years. You should look up some of his matches.

[Sabretooth]

We all know how his tna run went

[The Linebacker]

The Muhammed Hassan thing with UPN was totally understandable, it was more WWE's fault for completely fucking everything up, with a bit of bad luck thrown in too.

Why the hell Hassan was running around with terrorists after spending months talking about how he felt victimised and been treated like one was ridiculous. But the angle wouldn't have been as bad had it not aired the same day as the London bombings.

UPN had every right to get involved. Airing an angle like that on that particular day would have been a PR disaster.

[Catfish Billy]

I remember watching the Hassan promo where he calls out some article saying he was with masked Arabs. He said 'if they're masked, how do you know that they're Arabs?'. He was awesome, that line alone made me love him.

[Cyrus Riddle]

Great point, had everything played out less offensive he could have been something.

I got a Chris Jericho vibe off of him. He was great at making the generally racist audience feel ignorant. Mostly because they were.

Exactly, that was the genius of his character. Then WWE decided "fuck it, let's just make him a terrorist."

[Sabretooth]

Hassan was good on the mic but I never saw anything special in him. Eh whatever

[Catfish Billy]

His work on the mic was what made him special.

I'd love to see him and Daivari together in WRP.

[The Linebacker]

I agree, but his character was so refreshing in the fact it wasn't the usual stereotypical middle eastern guy.

[Fuji Vice]

I agree with Cyrus in regards to the Sweeney thing. He had all the tools to be a top manager in any company and he could go in the ring as well. A real loss....

[Cyrus Riddle]

Sweeney could have easily became a new age Bobby "The Brain"....Sweet N Sour was awesome, I was sad to hear he had killed himself.

[W-olf]

I dont know it has been mentioned but I not fair to say gone too soon but I sure wish stayed longer Hawk , Eddie , and Brian Pillman to name a small few .

Benoit. He was just about to start a feud with CM Punk before he gone. It would have ruled. R.I.P.

I try to remember him as a wrestler. What he did in his personal life shouldn't undermine his talent in ring.

[Catfish Billy]

Plus Viper, you kill hobos and cops on a regular basis? I sense a double standard.

But you also said "rest in peace". I have to agree with RKO and Booty. Fuck that.

[Fuji Vice]

I have to love how threads where Benoit's name is mentioned always turn into what's happening here. I don't want to close this, so let's stop talking about him now since its obviously too touchy a subject.

Thanks.

This.

I was taught to respect the dead, it's something that all of my family does. Saying R.I.P. is a given to anyone who's died. . Obviously I don't condone what he did. Wrestling and mentally stability don't go well together.

I don't want a huge war so, let's drop it.

[ChristianMiguel]

Benoit was an incredible wrestler, but it was said he was on some kind of drugs, so he took the shit willingly, and he knew he could not handle it. I have 2 thought on him... I respect him for his in-ring ability, but, what he did to his life, and his families life, fuck that shit...

[Fuji Vice]

In case we missed my previous post I mentioned it would be better if we just drop the Benoit references in this thread. I will not bend on this, if they continue it will be closed, and I really don't want to do that.

[Catfish Billy]

Pillman is sadly missed. He could of changed wrestling as we know it had he not passed.

[Fuji Vice]

He really was great and its a shame what happened to him. On the subject, its also sad that Rude is no longer with us. He could have been an excellent authority figure at this point in his life.

He would have. I could imagine him doing well in commentary too. No more Michael Cole, oh how I wish ...

[Sabretooth]

If Rick rude manage Bobby roode that would have been the ultimate manager/superstar pairing ever.

[W-olf]

I would have liked to seen that but Im biased Id like to see Rude now period lol.

[Max Lavoix]

The first wrestler I can think of when I see "Gone too soon..." is Hade Vansen. We've never seen anything from him in the "E" and it would've been cool to see what he can do in the biggest company.

[Heavy Metal Carebear]

The people who have mentioned Muhammad Hassan have made me smile.

This guy was AWESOME but they brought him around the worst possible time....he was nothing more than another Iron Shiek type character but, because people were so sensitive to the terrorist attacks, it just killed the whole thing, which is sad, because he had loads of potential (watch his pre-WWE matches and you will see how great he was as well, both in the ring and on the mic).

They could only bring him back if they give him a new gimmick entirely. The world has gone super pussy since the older wrestling days so they could NEVER get away with bringing another character like his back. It would send fans in to super offended mode because stupid people fail to understand that this is just entertainment.

[Swamps]

Blitzkreig from WCW was a huge waste. The man was awesome in the ring and was never used properly in WCW. The man would have made a great Cruiserweight Champion but was jobbing in the Undercards. He had some great matches with juventud, Pyscosis, Eddie, and Rey.

[Sabretooth]

I'm gonna go out on a limb here a say stone cold Steve Austin. The neck injury forced him to retire before he should have. After his match with the rock at wrestlemania 19 everyone could see his neck was killing him after all the rock bottoms. He could have wrestled for another 10 years possibly. Who knows

I agree Steve Austin left the sport entirely too soon. However his days were numbered the moment he took the piledriver wrong from Hart.

Alright then another person who was gone too soon was none other than Brock lesnar

[Fuji Vice]

I never really liked Lesnar that much so I don't miss him.

If anyone can get the "fuck you", it's Brock Lesnar. Fuck him. Guy had the entire marking machine put behind him as the "Next Big Thing" and what did he do? He took his ball and went home.

Taz. The guy pretty much has the same predicament as Austin, one more match and he's done.

His stuff with King was what ruined his credibility. Taz in ECW was the man, he would have run through King in a heartbeat. They just completely ass fucked his character and he could have been so good in the WWF.

Your point being? Owen Hart broke Steve Austin's neck, does that make him a bad wrestler? That promo I posted and nearly all of Taz's old promos beat anyone else's who were on television. For whatever reason, they brought him in and could have made him huge, but instead they wasted him until he got injured and had to settle for commentary.

If you're questioning his in ring skills, watch this.

LookTaz is good and all but do you really think he could have been wwe champion

[Catfish Billy]

He could have been if he was booked right, so many worse wrestlers have held the belt. His career was cut short by injuries, but he was never going anywhere near world title contention in the WWE. It's the exact same story with DDP.

[Fuje Vise]

He broke sabu's neck

Chris Benoit broke Sabu's neck actually. Hence why he was called "The Crippler". Well, Taz re-injured his neck but still. It was a table... :lol:

[Catfish Billy]

Regardless, Taz is the man. I can't find a ECW promo from Taz that I don't love.
