 What's good Josh we're lost back again with another video. So we're gonna check out 10 wrestlers Vince McMahon never got We all know Vince McMahon was kind of stuck in his ways So maybe the wrestling internet community was a big fan of a particular wrestler or even just like a certain wrestler We get over organically with the fans and Vince McMahon would not see it sometimes the person I can think of Off-top is obviously Cesaro, Cesaro was a person that organically got over But Vince McMahon didn't really I guess you could say buy into him mainly Because I think a lot of people were saying because of his promo ability wasn't really that good But his in ring work was top tier. So it prevents it was like He had to look he had the in ring ability, but his microphone skills was not there So he kind of really didn't buy into him as much or push up like a lot of his fans Wanted him to be pushed, you know, and I think there's a way you can work around that you can work to people's strength Strengths, you know saying even in situations where it's like it may not be the best Talker, but you could work with them and find them someone that can be the mouthpiece for them You know and there's been other situations where Vince McMahon didn't really see The potential in that particular wrestler, but the fans did so we're gonna check this out Appreciate all the love and support you guys have shown on the channel. Let's do the damn thing And Vince McMahon retired recently There was a huge spad of online discourse about how Vinny Mack was this big genius of the wrestling world And perhaps the greatest mind to ever tackle the sport Vince McMahon sure had a lot of big w's in his wrestling career But he also had a lot of huge L's like massive L's L's so big that king kong would try and scale them while swatting away by planes You see there are a lot of wrestlers in the history of this mad world in which we the fans Loved and wanted to see pushed to the moon But Vince McMahon the supposed genius that he was Didn't get and decided instead to give us more John Cena or whatever stupid gimmick He was into that guys that could have been big or major players for wwe that would have made massive money But Vinny Mack just didn't get I'm tempest hailing from parts fun known And these are 10 wrestlers Vince McMahon never got And before we get on with our list make sure that you subscribe and enable notifications to always on so you never miss a Fun wrestling list just like it and make sure that you watch survival series our new hit show here on parts fun known I'm a big fan of it and I think you will be too Honorable mention Raven fun fact wwe is the only major company to not have a version of Raven's flock An easy to book faction that had brilliant main event feuds and ecw and mid card feuds and tna and wcw Yeah, why didn't wwe have this version of raven this silver tongue devil who had a menagerie of misfits Surrounding him to do his bidding because Vince McMahon made him a homeless man Really, Vince McMahon is a f***ing idiot Number 10 broken Matt Hardy when both Matt and Jeff Hardy made the return to the house that finny Mack built in 2017 a lot had changed for brother Matthew despite wrestling for two decades by that point in 2016 Matt would undergo a drastic character reinvention while working for impact becoming a broken version of himself With a wacky new accent to shovel bleached hair and a whole universe of props and characters that included a dilapidated boat A mower of lawns and the vanguard one holographic drone. All right, maybe it's obvious why Vince McMahon didn't get the character Matt would eventually have the opportunity to apply his broken universe to the wwe by the end of 2017 But it was a much less ambitious version of the character than what we had seen He played chess with Napoleon reincarnated as a goldfish But he wasn't treated with anywhere near the level of importance He was an impact losing to bray white in a matter of minutes on raw 25 He did get a chance to main event raw with the ultimate deletion match against bray However, that's about as good as it ever got for the wwe version of broken Matt Michael Cole literally before the match started effectively Apologized for what we were about to watch right there on tv Vince McMahon told us that he thought this was and you're an idiot if you liked it And if that's not enough on the talk is Jericho podcast Matt recalled Vince watching it in the gorilla position and outright saying I don't get it. So if that's not enough On this list, I don't know what is the broken gimmick It it had so much internet appeal and then people were getting behind it. It's just I don't think Obviously Vince wasn't fully behind it. He didn't understand why people were liking it And when Vince doesn't understand it Even if he may give you a chance If it doesn't blow him away It's it's one of those things where it's like, okay. Well We tried that's how Vince came off. It's like, uh, if it didn't blow him away Or if he didn't really see just the real impact of it It had to be shoved in his face by the fans It was a good chance that he was gonna can it Christian Similarly to Matt Hardy Christian was someone that gained a lot of success in wwe throughout the company's most successful periods of the late 90s And early 2000s predominantly in the tag division with his kayfabe brother edge And also like Matt Hardy Vince saw his brother as the biggest star Well edge would go on to establish himself as one of the most successful single competitors in company history Christian would be forced to forge a path outside of wwe to be viewed the same way Christian would find success across in tda winning their big one on two separate occasions Why did christian struggle to find similar success in wwe one contributing factor Vince thought he was ugly to the point that vince famously wanted to put a blue dot over christian's face whenever he was on screen Wow, you ever need more of a reason to believe that vince big man put on shows just to entertain himself during the abraham washington show in 2009 remember him aw went off on one about how ecw champion christian was ugly aw the ventriloquist doll puppeting vince's madness and revealing to the world why christian continued to struggle in vince's Damn i did not know that number eight dusty road. Damn. You're like, oh you ugly, bro It's fucked up. You ugly ugly, man. I don't believe in you. You're ugly Damn, it's polka dots need i continue. Yeah arriving in the wwf in 1989 is one of wrestling's biggest names after hugely successful Stints in the nwa and jim crocket promotions in particular Vince seemed to be out to sabotage the american dream from the word go The polka dots were perhaps a way to stick it to the man who worked for his competitors for so long But regardless dusty took them in stride and still remain massively over. Yeah roads went Unfortunately reach nowhere near the same level of success however and would finish his active wrestling career in fairly unmemorable fashion Dusty was approaching the end of his active in ring career by the time he arrived in the wwf So was unlikely to be pushed to the main event during the era of hulk over the ultimate warrior However, his treatment seemed awfully counterproductive for vince as he was still such an asset despite his age Dusty would leave in 1991 to become a booker for wcw an occasional on-screen character Only eventually returning to work for vince in 2005 this time around dusty was rightfully celebrated for his legacy And would become a key figure behind the early days of nxt Was passing in 2015 wrestling number seven cesaro in late 24 called it I said it and I said it but to get in video cesaro is one of those guys that the fans love But vince wasn't really too high up on i'm sure he appreciated his work, but it's his microphone abilities vince wasn't a big fan of obviously Cesaro his microphone abilities. It's it could be desired. It's to be desired You know it's serviceable But I feel like vince wanted a lot more from him Vince McMahon appeared on the wwe network stone cold podcast and implored talents such as cesaro to grab the infamous brass ring According to McMahon the reason for cesaro's lack of a serious push by that point was because he lacked it Quote unquote Yeah, okay, vince Let's just ignore the fact that cesaro was easily one of the most over talents on the roster earlier that same year when He won the andre the giant and the thing is he actually I forgot to mention. He did have mouse pieces Around him too, you know and I think at one point he was aligned with paul hayman And I believe he was aligned with zepp culture all this other stuff But it once again vince was just like man, I don't get it. I don't see it yet Morial battle royal the aforementioned battle royal wins seemed destined to be the catapult for cesaro to get to the main event spot That he's so rightly deserved But instead it led to an ill-advised heel run and partnership with paul hayman While cesaro could have undoubtedly benefited from having a legendary mouthpiece like hayman by his side He always felt like an afterthought to brock lesnar throughout this run and was never quite hayman's main attraction In the years following this cesaro would achieve success most notably perhaps as one half of the bar was shameless But he would only get very minuscule tastes of the main event scene prior to his departure in 2022 Cesaro had all the tools to become a main event presence in wwe Curse you vince you are the one that dropped the ball number six diamond dallas page Following wwe's victory in the monday night wars against wcw It was inevitable that vince would look to ingest as much of the former competition's talent as he could to bolster his roster That is if their contract wasn't too big in which case by all means sit out However, as we've already learned vince mcman is a very very petty man When it came to the wcw roster it was evident that he rarely ever wanted them to look as strong as his wwf loyalists There was perhaps no greater example of this than diamond dallas page A wcw main state and former three time world heavyweight champion Page was a perennial babyface and an unlikely star for ted turners company So given the popularity of page what kind of character would vince mcman design for page's eventual debut? Any guesses? Well, if you said creepy voyeuristic stalker, you are correct bafflingly Page debuted as the mystery stalker of the undertaker's then wife sarah Who had been the subject of unsettling video camera recording vignette for months after revealing his identity on the june 18th 2001 episode broth to a massive pop by the way Ddp revealed he only stalked takers wife to get to the dead man who proceeded to destroy page in the subsequent feud And that was that really page went on to do not much else of note in his short wwe tenure save for a brief run with the european championship before sadly being forced to retire due to a neck injury in april 2002 the real kicker here is that page took a massive pay cut to come to the wwf for the invasion He could have sat on his tour to contract like hall gnash goldberg and hogan did but he wanted to wrestle for vince And this is how vince repaid him Taz Taz despite a relatively small stature was a man to be feared during his time in ecw The human suplex machine was a legit badass that carried himself as such and would become one of paul hayman's biggest success stories Winning pretty much every title he had to offer across a six-year spell in ecw Taz's wwf debut at the 2000 royal rumble might be the most perfect wrestling debut ever He came out to a huge new york pop He destroys the unbeaten curt angle and puts him to sleep with an illegal chokehold But the problem was he came from ecw, which means vince took one look at him and said well, you're the hardcore guy now then So taz went from beating the unbeatable future wwf champion to feuding with the big boss man and prince albert Next thing you know, that's it for taz. He teamed with fellow ecw alumni raven for a forgettable tag run And then just one year after an incredible debut in the rumble He was eliminated from the 2001 royal rumble in a matter of seconds with a sign that said my crap is bigger than taz Which might as well have been written by vince bickman himself as previously mentioned Taz was not the biggest individual and in the land of the giants This is always likely to work against you after numerous injuries taz would successfully transition to commentary And become a staple of the smackdown booth alongside michael cole as good as taz was and still is at commentary It is hard not to ask. What if when it came to his in-ring wwe Taz was uh Fantastic and still pretty you know pretty good uh on commentary. It's just we know they didn't vent It's it's the vent show. It's what he sees where you came from He's gonna put you in that category and that's pretty much it you either make it work or Oh, well, good luck number four zack rider When it comes to who gets pushed in wwe very rarely did vince bickman not have 99.99 for some of the same things So if you're not seen as a star in his eyes, I hope you enjoy sitting in catering pal Nobody perhaps fit this bill more than zack rider or maybe cremo or jtg for real It felt like those two were employed forever and to zack riders credit However, he was not simply content with languishing away instead. He would start up his very own youtube channel To begin a series on a z true long island story The series garnered rider a massive following throughout 2011 leading to fans hijacking shows with we want rider chance Until wwe were forced to take notice now. You've got to remember This was before youtube was this major thing that it is now and wrestling twitter was still in its infancy However, we were hastily reminded that more often than not if you go against the will of vince bickman And get yourself over organically without wwe's backing you dually be brought back down to earth Despite throwing rider a bone by giving him a united states championship run in late 2011 He was well and truly dismantled and I had to I knew this was going to be the image Once they threw him off the stage with a neck brace I knew he was dead. He was done That whole eve torres and john cina's storyline. I knew He was finished vince was done with him He got over organically without wwe help Only for him to get pushed Off the stage into oblivion humiliated on tv constantly in early 2012 Look at that specifically throughout john cina's rivalry with kane and onscreen romance with eve torres The icing on the cake was getting kicked square in the gonads by torres at russell mania 28 Effectively extinguishing the rider fire for good and sending him back to catering for eight more years wwe spent all of 2011 burying twitter because guys like rider got over because of it Fast forward one year and they're slapping the trending sticker over the end of an era segment Like that's what matters at that moment had rider gotten himself over on tout Maybe things would have been different. Number three The fiend after six years of character mismanagement the spring of 2019 saw a true revival for bray Wyatt No longer the swamp dwelling cult leader and instead a children's tv show host carrying extremely unsettling undertones The birth of the firefly funhouse was a breath of fresh air for bray and wwe Though it should be noted that the firefly funhouse was literally born out of those six years of bad booking At the center of all of it. However was bray's new alter ego the fiend who provided one of the most truly unsettling character designs in wrestling history And gave bray a new horror villain character that was simply indestructible That is unless you're going up against a 53 year old goldberg Oh, yes in what is still arguably one of the worst booking decisions of all time The fiend was fed to oldberg after months of dominance just Baffling proving precisely why the fiend should have been kept away from the title scene in the first place The mystique of the character was damaged beyond repair at that And that was a few months after the hell in a cell debacle And it's not even getting into the maddening randy orton storyline that went on for months And had no satisfying conclusion outside of randy orton squashing the fiend at wrestlemania Absolutely atrocious for such a creative character for vince mac man This supposed creative genius to have no idea how to book him vince and bray notoriously clashed creatively very often Which would eventually lead to why it getting released and receiving the difficult to work with label Effectively meaning that bray simply called mac man out for his garbage creative. Thank god This wasn't the final chapter for why in wwe as it once seemed to be number two i'm so glad that he's you know He's able to kind of you know have his creative freedom But they don't let him go too overboard, you know what i'm saying and i like what they're doing with him now man I've said this time and time again bray Wyatt should have never been One to go for the title That's not his mo His mo is never when when they created the break the the fiend gimmick It wasn't for him to go after the title. It should have been for him terrain terror on everyone You know i'm saying i it would it it would have made sense kept him from the title scene For a little bit, you know saying at some point maybe put them in the mix But once again a character like that doesn't really need the title to be over, you know i'm saying so But either way Hey, you know things happen for a reason and now we have bray doing what he's doing now Dean ambrose This is another john moxley flourishing a e w as a no-nonsense foul mouth bad ass has truly shown just how much wwe and vince mcman missed the mark with his character despite showing glimpses of his current best The wwe version of dean ambrose always felt like a bit of a caricature Ambrose was labeled as unhinged and a lunatic But often came off as a bit corny and not a balanced blending of the character and the real person at times And when wwe attempted to change ambrose's character after many years with his 2018 heel turn It was so dreadfully botched that it provided the nail in the coffin for ambrose's wwe tenure What could have been the catalyst to see ambrose lose the shackles and show that rougher side Instead saw him get dressed up as a wish version of bane Facts and get inoculations on camera to protect himself from the wwe universe Had it been a year and a half later. He might have been on to something rewatching that segment in particular though Is painfully evident just how bad mox knew the material he was given was nothing more than the creatively devoid You people are disgusting heel heat that was so beneath mox's town. So just like mox be mox vince Why did you have to make everything so lame? And number one almost every nxt call-up ever there we go carrying cross keith lee the ascension tyler brees bobby rude the revival rusev ty dillinger alistair black on draught a ec3 the viking raider sanity aop hit row American alpha hideo atami peat done. Yep. Okay Breathe probably forgetting a few But is there anything more to say there while there have been numerous nxt alumni that have successfully made the transition to a Vince McMahon led main roster the number of botched call-ups is truly staggering And while some have stuck around or found their way back to the company recently So many have slipped through wwe's grasp which is a huge shame The sheer frustration caused in seeing a character being developed for years in nxt Only to be completely gutted on the main roster was painful Some were given helmets. Oh, some were given totally random nicknames Yeah, cat anyone and some were made a mute like ec3 because of you know reasons I guess Vince almost certainly got some sort of sick pleasure from the whole thing that truly evil man Thankfully nxt is no longer treated like the ugly stepchild of the wwe and things are looking up the reign of mcmann terror is over Long live the mcmann helmsley con era. I guess That sounds about right wwe And that's our list did we forget he he was spot on with the number one spot all in a most the majority of the nxt call-ups have been Fucking underutilized But some of them are being able to you know fix their Uh fix their character development and hopefully going forward any more nxt call-up won't have to deal With just being instantly screwed over and damn near buried Before you even actually get a chance to show your talents to more of the casual audience, man So comment down below. Let me know which wrestle you feel like vince Truly dropped the ball on if they were on this list or not on this list or mention Let me know down below, but I appreciate all the love and support you guys have shown on channel road to 150k appreciate y'all kicking me. See y'all next one. Peace
