7. Eric Young

Not a difficult one. Eric Young’s WWE career consisted of leading a stable of unheralded performers on NXT before doing approximately jack cack on the main roster, primarily losing to Akira Tozawa, No Way Jose and Cedric Alexander on Main Event. In his entire time in WWE, Eric Young won a grand total of three main roster singles matches.

You don’t really need to compare this to his tenure in TNA. Young was there from the very beginning, working for the company for 12 long years and doing all there was to do in the process. Young is one of only five men to win TNA’s version of the Grand Slam, an honour he holds along with AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Austin Aries and Abyss. Young was a comedy babyface, an evil heel, a consistent performer inside and outside the ring. He was one of TNA’s most important performers for a very long time.

In WWE, he made wacky faces and lost. It isn’t out of the question that Young will return to WWE once this whole plague thing is all over, but you need to be an obsessive fan to believe he’ll have a singles run to match his work in TNA.

Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
