Which guys do you think are the most poorly booked relative to their all around talent?

Here's my starting list, subject to change. There's so many guys aren't getting what they deserve in this biz. I considered Harper, Ambrose, and Rollins who I think are future super stars being held back in their factions, but they're in the 2 biggest story lines in wrestling at least we can see they're likely on the right long term career arc, so I went with guys that are languishing.

1. Dolph Zigler
2. Ryback
3. Cody Rhodes
4. Xavier Woods
5. Jack Swagger

Sandow
Big E
Ziggler
Cody Rhodes
Goldust
Titus
Xavier
R-Truth
Sheamus
Curtis Axel
Ryback
Kofi Kingston
The Miz
Ryder

Apologies if I forgot somebody. I understand Sheamus might be a controversial pick, but be honest, when was the last time he was involved in a storyline? I'm not saying all of them are hugely talented but they are definitely sitting on the sidelines.

Personally I would like to see Luke Harper given more of a role than being the henchman of Bray Wyatt. He is great in both singles and tag matches, but he doesn't get to showcase it often.

1. Drew McIntyre
2. Damien Sandow
3. Dolph Ziggler
4. Heath Slater
5. Titus O'Neil

Honorable mentions: Big E., Ryback, Alex Riley, Yoshi Tatsu, Justin Gabriel and Tyson Kidd.

No order

Ziggler
Sandow
*These two are obvious choices imo
Goldust
Cody
*Rhodes Brothers got the shaft. They were one of the hottest acts in the company not long ago.
Ryback- I was really into face Ryback and I don't get into many wrestlers nowadays.

 

[El Capitano]

Ziggler
Sandow
Rhodes
Big E
Ryback (couldn't think of anyone else)

Agreed completely. I'd also add, Harper's a pretty convincing actor. He's a bit of a throw back in the sense that he really sells his role of being creepy even though he doesn't get to use many words. He's the one guy in the Wyatts that makes me feel uneasy.

Although, Rowan freaks me out with the mask. Reminds me of that horror movie You're Next from last year.

Should've said Miz and Big E but eh.

I can say with confidence that during the territory era, Luke Harper would've been one of the biggest acts in the US comparable to Bruiser Brody.

While Rowan has been... gifted with his looks, Harper truly lives his part of the gimmick in the ring and makes it believable. I don't know if he's a promo guy but I believe that he doesn't really need to be a talker. He manages to stand out despite being little more than a henchman for Bray Wyatt who is usually there to take the losses against whoever Bray Wyatt is feuding with.

Anyone know when Zayn is coming up from NXT? Seriously, what are they waiting for? Is there anything more they need to do to get him ready at this point? Seems like he's been ready for a while.

Sandow, bar none. One of the best talents in WWE all around getting the worst treatment on the roster. A good distance after him, Ziggler, Ryback, Titus, and Barrett (even though he's getting some good booking recently, he deserves to be in the main event).

I watched a video of Sandow (Aaron Stevens then) around 2002 or so. He was much better in the ring back then. Now he just brawls and bores me to tears when he wrestles (when he doesn't get squashed).

So Sandow has basically been with the WWE, off and on, for 12 years and is still a jobber. I think people need to face reality and come to grips with the idea that Sandow is the new Brooklyn Brawler.
