9. Albert/A-Train/Tensai
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d8/Tensai_2013.jpgBack in the Attitude Era, there were a whole host of WWE stars that were simply unfortunate in that they were competing amongst a packed out roster. Matt Bloom (or Albert/A-Train) is a fine example of that; a guy who was pretty talented inside the ring, but never really had any groundbreaking stories to write home about. So why on Earth did the WWE decide to treat his return to the company with such disdain, and have him adopt a Japanese gimmick? Sure, it could have worked had they used a fresh, unknown talent to push the gimmick, but everyone knew it was Albert! They gave it a real go (he even defeated John Cena and CM Punk at several points throughout his push), but it was simply destined to failure. His sidekick, Sakimoto, was quickly brushed off, and Tensai wasn't far behind. However, things were about to get even worse for Bloom's career. When it was apparent to WWE Creative (about three months after everyone had worked it out) that Tensai was a failure, they decided to make the novel step of teaming him with fellow lower card waster Brodus Clay. Tons of Funk have to be regarded as perhaps the worst alliance of recent years (yes, even worse than Los Matadores), and it simply proved that poor Matt Bloom should have never re-signed with the company.
