10 Short-Lived WWE Pushes You’ve Totally Forgotten

10. Rob Conway (2005)

Just look at him.

Rob Conway was physically gifted, and that had to earn him some credit at the bank of Vince behind the scenes. McMahon must've loved how muscular Conway was, but no amount of hard graft in the gym could help the wrestler lift a wobbly 'Con Man' gimmick up in 2005.

WWE transitioned Rob out of La Résistance in July that year - he re-debuted on Heat with some fresh threads and a character which looked for all the world like it had leapt out of the early-1990s. Conway's main objective was to target older legends like Doink The Clown, Greg Valentine, Koko B. Ware and more.

He even bagged an Intercontinental Title bout vs. Ric Flair on Raw, but WWE had given up on his push long before the end of the year. His own legend killer plan didn't pan out quite as well as Randy Orton's would, to put it mildly, and he ended up back in creative hell.
