Name Pro Wrestler(s) who had a higher ceiling

[Batjester]

I agree with Pete that Arn was never someone who could "be THE guy". He was a good hand, and a great tag wrestler, but the TV title was his ceiling as a singles wrestler.


Billy Jack could have been so much more but was a head case.

Hall had his substance abuse issues.

Barry Windham just didn't want it.

Rick Martel should have been bigger than he was, but once he got a some momentum he got injured.

Elias should be a bigger deal than he is. Got over on his own, has the look, and can go in the ring.

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

Pretty sure Giant Gonzalez had high ceilings...

Oh come on now...Arn could have been a great US Champ.

Test
Kanyon

 

[Herwald]

All of them.

Marc Mero?

Dean Malenko - Every bit as good as Benoit without all the CTE.

Eh, I could buy Benoit as a legit threat to bigger guys despite his smaller stature. Malenko was the pure definition of a vanilla midget though.

Kanyon

Test was a casualty of Russo leaving. They just didn't know what to do with him after the wedding with Steph.

Mike Awesome

Like many things in ECW, he was indeed fucking awesome.

WCW and WWE dropped the ball

 

[sleepwalk]

William Regal
Arn Anderson
Owen Hart

Add Tully Blanchard to that list. If there was no Ric Flair, Tully easily could have filled the role of cocky but gifted champion. He was so damned punchable.

Yeah kinda ridiculous he never had the belt.

Bruce Hart

 

[TennBJJ]

Obligatory: Wildcat Wendell Cooley

2nding Kanyon. I thought he was fucking awesome in WCW. Should have never spoken, though. Put him with a mouthpiece and roll with it.

Injuries slowed him down, but I thought my man Paul Orndorff could have gone even further without brother jack dude in the way in the WWF
