WWE: 12 Former TNA & WCW Stars Who Didn't Live Up To Expectations
3. Low Ki/Senshi
Low Ki was TNA's second ever X-Division Champion, but would make his name in the tag team ranks as a member of Triple X with Christopher Daniels and Elix Skipper, holding the NWA Tag Team Championships with each of them. It was a brief first run with the company, only lasting two years while he also spent a lot of time in Ring of Honour where he also made his name as one of the hottest acts on the independent scene and the first ever ROH Champion. He would return to TNA two years later under a new moniker: Senshi. His return match was against his former team-mate Christopher Daniels as his mystery opponent and soon captured the X-Division Championship once again on a six-month undefeated streak. After feuds with Austin Starr (Aries) and the LAX he reformed Triple X with Daniels and Skipper but they were unable to win the titles, and he left the promotion after only another two year stint. Just over half a year later he signed with WWE. After two years in the FCW developmental territory wrestling under the name Kaval he was called up to be a part of the second season of NXT in a completely bizarre pairing, which seemed deliberately set up to fail, Team Lay-Cool. Like previous 'internet darling' turned NXT Rookie Daniel Bryan, Kaval lost his first two matches but unlike Bryan he soon picked up his first win by getting the pinfall in a six-man tag team match three weeks later. Kaval would be in the top two places on the NXT Rankings the entire season and win it. He earned a spot on the SmackDown Survivor Series team by lasting five minutes in the ring with the Big Show but that "push" was immediately swept away as he accepted the challenge of the debut of a repackaged Tyler Reks who quickly defeated him to take his place. Kaval would finally pick up a SmackDown victory against Dolph Ziggler, leading to him cashing in his guaranteed championship opportunity (earned by winning NXT) against Ziggler at Survivor Series. Kaval put up a good display and Ziggler had to use the tights to see off the challenge but it was yet another loss for Kaval who was released a month later. Final Assessment: Low Ki was a very talented wrestler with a unique style, especially given the time he signed for WWE, but his size and perhaps even his internet following played against him as WWE were unwilling to truly invest. There was rumours of attitude problems backstage too which would also place some of the blame at his own door but there is no denying that WWE's use of him made him look very weak.
