10 Wrestlers Who Should Never Have Signed With WWE

10. EC3

EC3 seems like the very acme of a Vince McMahon guy. Good looking, muscled and a strong enough talker to handle the sports-entertainment rigours of WWE TV. Like God however, the movements of McMahon are mysterious. EC3 has been denied his favour and is now a man best known for looking grumpy while toting a red solo cup. Apparently this is punishment booking because, as a babyface, he wasn’t cheered over soon-to-depart fan favourite Dean Ambrose on house shows.

The worst of it is that EC3’s current run is not his first go on the WWE merry-go-round. He appeared on the fourth and fifth season of NXT in its original game show format as Derrick Bateman. He stayed with the brand as it transitioned into both a developmental territory and WWE’s most acclaimed show.

After an underwhelming run he was released from the company in 2013. This release was arguably the making of him. He managed to go to TNA and make himself a star under his new gimmick as the “Top one percent”. Twice TNA heavyweight champion and Impact grand champion, he earned himself another shot at the big leagues.

Bottom of this list because he’s in still signed to WWE and can hopefully turn things around down the line. Nonetheless, he must be wondering if he wasn’t better off out of it.
