7. Drew Galloway

Few WWE superstars debut with the level of fanfare as Drew Galloway. Vince McMahon referred to the young up-and-comer as a future WWE Champion on SmackDown, but that ultimately proved to be the worst thing that could have happened for the star. He was overpushed and soon exposed as not ready for his spot, forcing the company to scale back.

Once the spotlight was off him, Galloway actually made huge progress. By 2011, he was quite a capable worker, but he couldn't buy his way onto TV. He spent his last few years with the company as part of Heath Slater's Three Man Band, doing his best with the small comedy role he was given.

Since his 2014 release, though, he's established himself as a contender to the throne of "King of the Independents". He's reigned as the EVOLVE and Dragon Gate USA Champions simultaneously, he won the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, and he's the current WCPW World Heavyweight Champion.

Tons of fans around the world now know just how good Galloway really is.
