10 Times WWE Got "The Guy" Wrong

Bret Hart would go on to hold that WWF title right up to Survivor Series following his WrestleMania X victory, defending it against the likes of his brother Owen and the next star the company would eventually get behind as their next larger-than-life megastar: Diesel.

The effortlessly cool big man, who'd been acting as Shawn Michaels' bodyguard since his WWF debut, would finally get his chance at being 'The Man' following the 'Hitman's loss to Bob Backlund at the aforementioned PPV. But what followed was another stupid case of trying to replicate what came before, and not leaning into what made Kevin Nash so compelling in the first place.

This smiling big lad unsurprisingly ended up feeling like the latest Hogan-lite offering in no time, and eventually went on to become the lowest-drawing WWF Champion of all time.

He'd reign a year as the company's top guy, but the experiment well and truly failed. Many of the matches, outside of efforts against icons like Hart and Michaels, weren't up to scratch. Also, the top guy character he was being asked to play wasn't one that fans were all that interested in anymore.

Nash was born to be a charming anti-hero, and after finally being conquered by Hart at Survivor Series 1995, it was in that role that he excelled both at the end of his WWF run and throughout his game-changing WCW one.
