10 Wrestlers Who Could Have Been Main Eventers With Better Gimmicks

10. Diamond Dallas Page

When Diamond Dallas Page came to WWE, he was already 46 years old, but that didn't change the fact that he was one of the top names the company got from WCW. He had emerged as among the company's most popular babyfaces during the Attitude Era, and he remained a hit with fans until the WCW's closing.

Upon joining WWE, though, he was given a complete character change of the worst kind - not only was he turned heel, but he was made into a predator who was stalking The Undertaker's wife, Sara. Fans - even hardcore WWE fans - knew and liked DDP, and they weren't invested in seeing him as a bad guy. The subsequent feud with Undertaker was terrible, and Page was soon repackaged as a motivational speaker. That also didn't go well.

Had DDP kept his babyface character - and had the members of the WCW/ECW Alliance been booked individually instead of turning everyone heel - he could have easily become one of the stars of the whole storyline. Instead, his WWE run was a sad end to an otherwise successful career.
