On one hand you could count the Superstars with the most potential that WWE dropped the ball on in recent years, and among those leading the list would have to be Ted DiBiase. It's rare for second generation stars to successfully follow in the footsteps of their father, but DiBiase was different; he seemingly had all the tools to be a future World Champion, but somewhere along the way his career was sidetracked.

He was granted his first shot at super stardom at 2010's Elimination Chamber pay-per-view event when he contended for the WWE Championship along with his Legacy cohort Randy Orton. The two were on shaky terms at the time, but the agreement between the two was for DiBiase to help him take out the rest of the competition and capture the title.

Despite how talented he was, he had no chance of walking out with the title in tow. Seemingly, the sole reason he was a part of the match to begin with was to further his storyline with Orton, as he didn't have a strong enough outing to warrant his spot in the contest.

This was the closest the son of The Million Dollar Man came to championship gold before his departure from the company in 2013.
