10 WWE Wrestlers Who Weren't Given Enough Chances

For four years, Juice Robinson was spinning his wheels in WWE developmental without ever really getting a fair shot at making himself a major star.

Under his CJ Parker persona, Juice was undoubtedly an entertaining part of NXT programming for a spell, but CJP was never anything but a great hand who was there to help others get over. That's a role that so many wrestlers have found themselves in over the decades, and to the Illinois native's credit he opted to put WWE in his rear-view mirror in 2015.

For anybody who willingly exits WWE, it's always a bold move that has the potential to spectacularly backfire. And in Juice Robinson's case, he took a chance on himself - a chance that has paid off, as seen by his success in New Japan Pro Wrestling and beyond.

There have been rumblings of WWE reaching out to Juice over a return to the company in recent years, but Robinson seems more than happy working for NJPW and having fun with the opportunities that come his way. For WWE, if they'd have maybe not put a ceiling on Juice then he could well be a featured player on one of their three rosters right now.
