10 Amazing Wrestlers WWE Fans Will NEVER Love

6. Ultimo Dragon

'Oh, it's that dude who fell down during his entrance at WrestleMania XX'.

That's what some would say when shown footage of the dazzling Ultimo Dragon. They'd skim past his J-Crown Title success, or the unreal body of work he put together throughout the 1990s. People would even gloss over Dragon's time in WCW between 1996-1998.

That's rubbish, because he was seriously, seriously good in-ring. Ultimo's WWE run, which lasted for one miserable year between 2003-2004, started with promise but ended with a real whimper. His 'Mania embarrassment summed the entire experience up in a nutshell - there was to be no Mysterio-like level of success for Dragon under Vinnie Mac's watch.

Ultimo Dragon is deserving of consideration for a spot in WWE's Hall Of Fame, but he might never get there. Whilst he didn't make the splash some thought he might in the company, Dragon did contribute hugely to today's in-ring product.
