10 Wrestling Stars WWE Should Never Have Let Get Away

10. Beretta

Just like Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins before him, Trent Barreta was a Long Island-based independent worker who was signed to WWE at a young age. Even compared to those men, though, Barreta was barely given any chance to succeed. Today, most fans have no memory of his WWE run.

After spending a couple of years in Florida Championship Wrestling, Barreta and partner Caylen Croft - known together as The Dudebusters - were called up to the ECW brand. After a brief run, they were moved to Smackdown, but Croft was soon fired and Barreta was on his own. He spent the next couple of years on Superstars and in NXT before being fired.

After leaving the company, the star was finally able to make a mark. Renaming himself "Beretta," he began working for New Japan, PWG, and other companies, eventually finding a home as part of NJPW's CHAOS stable. With regular partner Rocky Romero, Beretta has been a crucial part of the company's junior heavyweight tag team division. The team, known as Roppongi Vice, are two-time champions.
