Many talents in the WWE go completely over the fan’s heads, (which isn’t me having a dig, it’s just how the wrestling business works), however there are many superstars in the company at this very minute who should have more of a chance to showcase their abilities and be given either a mid card or main event push.
Here, I have listed my top five who desperately need more spotlight. So here we go…
5. Tyson Kidd
Now Tyson Kidd may not be the best talker in the world, but my word can the lad go in the ring. I would rank him third in the company only behind Daniel Bryan and Dolph Ziggler. He was trained in the infamous Hart Dungeon (graduates including: Chris Jericho, Lance Storm and Chris Benoit) so no wonder he is as technically sound as he is.
As a part of the Hart Dynasty, Kidd and David Hart Smith were given a healthy push as they main evented the Christmas day Smackdown in 2009, and even became tag team champions a year later. However the team split, Smith was released and Tyson Kidd was demoted to working dark matches and the occasional appearance on Superstars. He has a fantastic underdog feel about him and his ability in the ring allows him to get anyone behind him when opposing a heel.
Give this man a shot at Antonio Cesaro’s US Title, imagine the matches the two could have together!

Nice Article .
Thanks mate.
i agree with all but alex riley. he bores the heck out of me. be more than happy if they just sacked him
I agree with all of these except Wade Barrett. Don’t get me wrong he is talented and has all the making of a main-eventer but the recent injury he just came back from is what hurt his rise, if he hadn’t gotten injured I have no doubt he would be in the main event picture right now. The person I would replace Wade Barrett with on this list is Kofi Kingston. The only thing more obvious than Kofi’s talent is his lack of push cause he doesn’t have the mic skills, but he is getting better and I think all he needs to further sharpen his mic skills is a decent feud. Back in the day when we had good feuds they weren’t just about the in-ring wars but also the war of words between the combatants, and those were good cause you could actually see that they believed it which led to them actually speaking from the heart and not just from the script. This is something I think Kofi and pretty much the rest of WWE could benefit from this.
