On the surface, Sean O'Haire had everything WWE would want in a star. Standing 6ft 6inches and weighing in at around 270lbs, the guy also had a killer physique and surprising agility for such a big man. Honing his craft in the WCW Power Plant training facility, O'Haire was someone the then-WWF were excited to get their hands on once acquiring World Championship Wrestling. It's pretty shocking that the company didn't do more with O'Haire. Not only because of his notable size and flexibility, but also because he was never really given a fair shake. The man's biggest push came in 2003, when he was handed 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper as his manager and given a pretty intriguing gimmick. Booked as someone who played 'Devil's Advocate', O'Haire was a cunning heel. Sadly, he would never really fulfill his potential. The closest the man came to the main event mix was when opposing 'Mr. America' (Hulk Hogan in a mask) on an episode of Smackdown. By 2004, O'Haire was gone from WWE. Injuries and a motorcycle accident had kept him out of action, and he definitely stands out as someone who could have been much more. Tragically, Sean O'Haire passed away in 2014.
