A regular feature in lists such as these for the past few years now, the big 'Show-Off's persistent presence on WWE television has been without moderate merit.

Travelling a rather tragic trajectory from fanboy favourite to perpetual punching bag, the pungent stench of failure remains more powerful than any of the evidence in favour of him ever receiving a push again. Disdain for Dolph only rose when he migrated to Monday Night Raw with NXT graduate and main roster returnee Drew McIntyre.

Forced to refer to himself as the "Greatest In-Ring Performer In WWE History" in one of the writing team's meaner recent ribs, the Shawn Michaels tribute act was given a discount Diesel in for the form of the 'Celtic Colossus'. Dolph departing in 2018 wouldn't just be good for him - it'd be ideal for Drew too.
