10 Times WWE Failed To Create Main Event Players

10. Test (1999)

There's an alternate dimension in which Test runs NXT, is married to Stephanie McMahon in real life and can look back on a trophy-laden career stacked with 14 World Titles. Maybe that would've been the ex-bodyguard's future had the WWF not aborted his push in 1999 and moved on without really giving him another go.

Before Triple H bounded out and scooped up Steph for himself, Test seemed destined for big things. He had a great look that Vince McMahon surely loved, was athletic for a dude his size and was young enough that the company could mould him how they wished. Post-marriage drama though, everything went to sh*t.

Test, who had soundly beaten Stephanie's brother Shane at SummerSlam and was slowly gaining traction with the fans, was moved into a tag team with Albert that only existed to highlight Trish Stratus' breasts (T&A). When the company were ready to try again mid-Invasion in 2001, it was too little, too late.

The guy didn't have top promo skills, but they gave up way too soon.
