10 Times WWE Were OBSESSED With Pointless Power

10. Assistant ECW General Manager Tiffany

In the WWE Network's surprisingly enjoyable documentary about its fatally flawed FCW developmental outfit, a rather apt comparison was made between the company call-up process and Toy Story's Pizza Planet claw machine.

You've seen the bit. Second-string playthings waiting patiently for an omnipotent power from above to reach in and indiscriminately take one away to pastures new and completely unknown. And in Toy Story, they were aliens.

Indeed, there seemed little rhyme or reason behind most of the sudden arrivals on the main roster, not least when they came in through the grimiest of entrance ways. ECW's late-2000s "Talent Initiative" opened the door for the likes of Sheamus and Evan Bourne, but in doing so bloated the C-show with various talents that serviced it about as well as it could service them.

Taryn Terrell would go on to have a good run in Impact's Knockouts Division some years removed from her stint as Teddy Long's gopher, but as Tiffany she was relegated to being eye candy for a closed sweet shop. Marginalised as an Assistant General Manager on a show that didn't need a GM in the first place, it was only when he departed that she came into her own in various backstage segments. By then, the brand was giving way to NXT, in much the same way her Florida alma mater eventually had to.
