10 Wrestlers WWE Should’ve Signed When They Had The Chance

9. The Young Bucks

Young Bucks WWE€™s tag team division is in dire need of more €˜natural€™ tag teams, instead of having two wrestlers who are doing nothing thrown together just to see what happens. While the Usos have been doing well in the division as one of the few €˜brother€™ tag teams, WWE could€™ve another team that would€™ve not only been perfect for WWE€™s tag team division, but could€™ve also excelled in NXT: Matt & Nick Massie, also known as The Young Bucks/Generation Me. Both of them had already made brief appearances for WWE: they were involved in an ECW segment where they mocked Triple H and Shawn Michaels and were knocked out by John Morrison and the Miz in 2008, and they also had a tryout match in 2011. WWE had a fantastic tag team, yet they failed to see the potential these two young men would have, and thus never took the steps to bring them to WWE€™s developmental territory on a more long-term basis. If you€™ve seen these guys in action, you know that they€™re one of the most exciting high-flying tag team in wrestling today. They have a wide variety of impressive tag team maneuvers, including an impressive match-ending finisher called €˜More Bank for Your Buck€™. In fact, they€™re the only wrestlers to win the WON finisher of the year twice with two different finishers. Would these guys have succeeded in WWE? That depends on whether or not they were able to use many of their high-flying moves in a WWE ring. It would also depend on their backstage attitudes, which is something that caused them a bit of trouble in TNA, as both Rob Van Dam and Booker T both claimed that the Young Bucks were disrespectful towards them. If you want your WWE career to go downhill fast, the easiest way to do so is to insult a veteran or a legend. So while the Young Bucks would€™ve been a great addition to WWE€™s tag team division, seeing them perform as watered-down versions of themselves to fit into WWE€™s €˜style€™ might be more of a bad thing anyway. Still, it would€™ve been nice to see a true high-flying tag team perform in a WWE ring.
