4. Tom Magee
It's been well, if not necessarily officially, documented that Vince McMahon is a big fan of big men- bodybuilders, in particular. Why else would he have created the World Bodybuilding Federation? And with that line of branding already in place, why wasn't the XFL called the "World Football Federation"? Mysteries of the world... But we digress; a champion bodybuilder by the name of Tom Magee would be trained by the legendary Stu Hart, and upon debuting in All Japan in 1986, would demonstrate "the greatest combination of strength and agility the business had ever seen," according to Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter. A WWF match against Bret "The Hitman" Hart impressed Vince McMahon enough to sign Magee immediately and start planning for him to be the next Hulk Hogan. Unfortunately, Vince's new "MegaMan" would prove not to be all he was cracked up to be. As he continued performing on C-level house shows (the kind that the WWF used to run out of high school gyms and the like), he kept appearing worse and worse in the ring, with no one able to figure out why. "Dave Meltzer has described Gibbs as a rare breed of wrestler who actually got worse with more experience, and for whatever the reason, his stock began to fall." By mid-1987, Vince had turned his attention to another strapping young bodybuilder by the name of Jim Hellwig, who had earned a name for himself as "The Dingo Warrior." By the time Magee was on his way out of the company in 1989, he was losing to the likes of Barry Horowitz.
