10 Most Underrated Superstars Of WWE's Ruthless Aggression Era
2. Sean O'Haire
In any list of poorly utilized gimmicks worth its salt, you're going to see O'Haire's name pop up near the top. His Devil's Advocate character had some of the most brilliant introductory vignettes of all time, but the gimmick just didn't seem to fit in with the Ruthless Aggression roster.
And that's a shame, because it was one of the freshest, most creative character types that had come around the WWE for quite some time. Fans were definitely ready to embrace him, but for some reason the company didn't have as much faith in O'Haire or the gimmick as they bounced him around from one bad angle to the next.
Even before his transformation into the smooth-talking, morally reprehensible Devil's advocate type, O'Haire was putting on dazzling displays alongside Mark Jindrak in WCW and Chuck Palumbo in WWE.
O'Haire was a genuine talent inside the ring. He had the physique of all the classic '80s main eventers, and he was turning out excellent promos on a regular basis. What exactly was there not to like about Sean O'Haire?
Apparently management discovered a big negative that wasn't apparent to the rest of us, releasing him in 2004 with no fanfare whatsoever.
