10 WWE Superstars Held Back By Scripted Promos

10. Heath Slater

Heath Slater's been saddled with a lot of bad gimmicks throughout his WWE career. Whether he was part of 3MB, Slater-Gator, or the Social Outcasts, Heath's been a good sport when it comes to executing bad scripts on RAW and SmackDown. More often than not, he's the standout star of these not-so-standout segments.

Despite several tough years for his character, Slater's endured thanks to appearances on WWE's secondary programming like Swerved, Ride Along, and the JBL and Cole Show. In all these appearances, one thing has been consistent - and that is Heath's natural ability to entertain.

Heath's portrayals of his wrestling character as well as "Big" Clem Layfield, and most recently Pelvis Wesley have been well-received and they have even generated somewhat of a cult following for Slater. It's a following that resulted in genuine support for Heath through his recent pairing with Rhyno en route to winning SmackDown's tag titles.

No superstar should have 100% free reign over their character, but some talents should have more say than others. With Heath's track record of turning bad ideas into entertaining moments, he should be given a bit more creative freedom than he currently has.
