10 WWE Comedy Characters That Somehow Didn't SUCK

10. Heath Slater

Heath Slater debuted as part of The Nexus, maybe one of the biggest missed opportunities in WWE history, where he looked like one of the more assured workers in the group. Even the great Bret Hart felt most comfortable working with the 'One Man Band' during his feud with the group in 2010.

Not just a solid in-ring worker though, Slater would flex his comedic chops throughout his time in the promotion, with the tag-team specialist often appearing alongside an unlikely partner. WWE loves an odd-couple tag team, but Heath managed to master the otherwise tiresome trope and get over in a number of different tandems that should have been D.O.A.

The Virginian would be at his funniest after finding himself as a free agent following the 2016 draft which saw him go unpicked by either Raw or SmackDown, campaigning for a job proclaiming ‘I Got Kids’. He managed to form a team with the returning Rhyno in one of the best odd-couple tag team acts in WWE history, which showed how Slater's goofy charisma warranted a more profiled push much sooner.
