9 Early 2000s WWE Failures The Company Had Huge Plans For

7. Cade And Jindrak

Look at these two young studs. WWE.com may have recently featured Cade and Jindrak in an article looking at 50 teams you forgot existed, but in 2003 and 04, WWE were serious about pushing the ultra-bland tandem to the top. Cade and Jindrak both had the look, both were young and both needed some direction. So WWE did what it usually does and stuck them in a tag team together. Faces at first, Cade and Jindrak fought the likes of Evolution and La Resistance before turning heel and squaring off with The Dudley Boyz and The Hurricane & Rosey. They were firmly entrenched in the midcard ranks when WWE split them up in spring 2004. Jindrak moved over to Smackdown with a new gimmick ('The Reflection of Perfection' - a retread of Lex Luger's narcissist) while Cade formed a nothing partnership with Jonathan Coachman before being sent back to developmental. They had their ups and downs in WWE after that, but the company did have big plans for the pair at different points in their WWE careers. At one stage, Jindrak was going to be the fourth member of Evolution (the role went to Batista) while Cade was aligned with super-heel Chris Jericho against Shawn Michaels. In the early 2000s, WWE clearly thought that Cade and Jindrak could be huge singles stars. They couldn't.
