10 Ruthless Aggression WWE Superstars You Forgot Existed

WWE clearly believed that the future was bright for Orlando Jordan back in 2003 as a loss to John Cena during his first SmackDown appearance led to The Undertaker coming to the ring to help the rookie to his feet. That seal of approval set the stage for him to join JBL's Cabinet, but that also meant he became a typical midcard heel often on the losing end of matches as the WWE Champion's heavy.

Entertaining feuds involving Chris Benoit and Booker T followed, but Jordan was released by WWE in 2006 for reportedly bringing unauthorized people backstage (a huge blunder seeing as the business was still very closed off during this time).

A brief run in TNA with a pretty terrible bisexual gimmick did little for his career, and he spent the years that followed that working on the independents. Jordan never regained that early momentum, though, and someone WWE clearly viewed as a future star has instead been forgotten. He just failed to make an impact, and fades into the background of the Ruthless Aggression era as a result.
