6. Big John Studd (1982-1986, 1988-1989)
WWE.comWhen you were the size of a Big John Studd, and could do what he could in a wrestling ring, there always had to be an issue as to why somebody with clearly Main Event status never became the World Wrestling Federation Champion. In Studds case, the little issue was a man by the name of Andre The Giant. Much like Strongbow and Putski before him, the money baby face is what limited Studds unlimited potential. At the end of the match there was only going to be one giant left standing, and that was usually Andre. Who would ever forget Studds Bodyslam Challenge, where the great Bobby The Brain Heenan would put up 10 Grand of his own money if anybody could slam his protégé? What about the classic feuds with Andre, and later Hulk Hogan? Or, even better yet the unstoppable force when Studd teamed up with the 468 pound King Kong Bundy? Yes it was all there for the taking . . . again . . . had there not been a bigger Giant standing in the way.
