10 Wrestling Talents That Were Immediately Buried By WWE

10. Ultimo Dragon

Fans will remember Ultimo Dragon as the guy with ten championship belts in the WCW Cruiserweight Division from 1996 to 1998. He had excellent matches with Rey Mysterio, Dean Malenko, Chris Jericho, Eddie Guerrero, and others. When the WWE hired him in 2003, it looked like a good get for the Cruiserweight Division on Smackdown. He made his debut in Madison Square Garden, and it looked like Dragon would get a big push in the division. Unfortunately for Dragon, the MSG debut would be the peak of his tenure in WWE. He spent the majority of his time working preliminary matches on Velocity, and the most famous (or infamous) moment that Dragon was known for was tripping during his entrance at Wrestlemania XX, which ironically enough was also in Madison Square Garden. It seems that a wrestler with the decorated past as Ultimo Dragon deserved better in WWE, but it was not to be.
