10 Key Personalities That WWE Underappreciates

Who has WWE taken for granted?

It's fair to say that, over the past thirty five years, Vince McMahon and WWE have established a poor habit of greatly under-appreciating some of their most valuable contributors. Regardless of how they ended up in the unenviable position they are in, too many former WWE personalities have had their place in history slighted for one reason or another. In almost every case, it is varying degrees unfortunate and sad to see the hard work and sacrifices that these individuals have made throughout their career not receive the same type of recognition had it been credited to someone else, someone that is on the good side of Vince & Co. Despite what Vince McMahon would have people believe, loyalty to the WWE doesn't always pay off. Sure, there are some individuals whose careers would make a good argument against this point. Guys like The Undertaker, Pat Patterson, Howard Finkel, and Shawn Michaels come to mind. But tell that to Bret Hart, Bobby Heenan, or even Shane McMahon. Some stars may deserve the heat, but the ten personalities we're looking at here are given nowhere near the amount of respect that they should be. The good news is that, in many cases, this doghouse is not a place of permanent residence. Time has proven that WWE have the ability to resolve issues like they did with Bruno Sammartino and Alundra Blayze, but the mending of fences doesn't always include a return to previous prominence. Even after making up, the company still may not give these individuals the proper credit they deserve. Sometimes it's one-strike-and-you're-out. There's a number of people that have ended up on this list - the list of the most under-appreciated former WWE personalities - but these 10 personalities remain the most egregious.
