10 WWE Wrestlers DOOMED Without Vince McMahon

3. Omos

A big, lumbering stiff of a seven-footer in an era that has largely consigned such wrestlers to the scrapheap, Omos has suffered through improper development, having spent far too little time in developmental and on the house show loop before being hurried over to WWE's main roster (much of which owes to the pandemic-related shutdown).

WWE signed Jordan Omogbehin in 2019. When he entered the Performance Center, it was immediately joked that Vince would push the 7'3" skyscraper as soon as he laid eyes on him. Less than two years later, with only six matches on his resume, this came to pass, as Omos and AJ Styles became Raw Tag Team Champions in the big man's first televised match.

The promotion has kept Omos relevant through the inevitable Styles breakup, his Bobby Lashley feud, and pairing with MVP. Unfortunately, the goliath has demonstrated little improvement between the ropes in these outings. Unconvincing even when executing the most basic of monster tropes, this isn't Omos' fault (he simply hasn't worked enough) but there's currently little use for him beyond a basic enforcer's role.

Wrestling evolved beyond plodding green giants. Vince McMahon, unfortunately, did not.
