12 WWE Monsters That Failed
11. Mr Hughes
Curtis Hughes brought solid in-ring ability and fantastic speed for a man his size to a flagging WWE roster in 1993, but was almost immediately positioned as a token big man for The Undertaker to squash.
Aligning with a Harvey Wippleman who was already fresh off sending Kamala and Giant Gonzalez (more on him later) for 'The Deadman', Hughes was the first heel of many to steal the Urn from Paul Bearer.
The idea was sound enough, with the artefact having been established as a key to Undertaker's mythical powers, but outside of the initial beatdown and theft, Hughes was never considered the same scale of threat that Gonzalez was.
Outside of a disqualification loss to Mr Perfect at June's King of the Ring pay-per-view, Mr Hughes was given nothing of substance on television and quietly let go later in the year.
Re-emerging briefly with both Triple H in 1997 and Chris Jericho in 1999, Hughes was half the size thanks to remarkable weight loss, but neither tenure had the steam of his original displays.
