10 Wrestlers WWE Fans Were Convinced Would Become Megastars (But Didn't)

7. Chris Masters

'The Masterpiece' was the recipient of a major push upon arriving on the main roster way back in early 2005.

Chris Masters was given a showcase entrance and an unbreakable submission finisher, and found himself in feuds with Shawn Michaels and John Cena well before his experience dictated. Many commentators at the time felt it was only a matter of time before Masters found himself on the top of the mountain, a championship belt around his waist and the world at his feet.

There were a number of problems in front of Masters however, not least the fact that his actual wrestling left a lot to be desired. His physique was his entire character and that physique was frequently whispered as being not entirely natural. Masters disappeared from TV entirely in 2007, and when he returned that iconic physique had gone. Jerry Lawler described him as being 'leaner and meaner', but The King wasn't fooling anyone.

Masters never came close to hitting the heights his career teased in those early days, bouncing around the middle of the card before being released following a second suspension in November 2007.

Masters would return a couple of years later as a much improved in-ring performer, but a solid hand was all that he would be viewed as.
