10 Main Event Superstars That Failed In WWE

9. Barry Windham

Barry Windham has been credited with influencing some of the biggest names in the industry over the years. Scott Hall, for example, talks often about the contributions and abilities that Barry Windham showcased throughout his career, but for whatever reason, his days with WWE were always underwhelming. Son of the legendary Blackjack Mulligan, Windham's greatest achievement for the WWF came as part of the U.S. Express tag-team, capturing the titles twice in 1985. After moving around for the next several years, Windham would capture the NWA World Heavyweight Championship at SuperBrawl III in 1993 before losing it to Ric Flair later that year. Windham had several separate stints working gimmicks for Vince McMahon as The Widowmaker in 1989 and again in 1996 as The Stalker, but neither would match the success he had in WCW/NWA prior.
