5 underutilized Superstars from the Ruthless Aggression Era who would've been top stars in today's WWE

#1 Mr. Kennedy

Is there a bigger missed opportunity in WWE than Mr. Kennedy? I mean, back in the day, who wasn't a fan of this guy and his tremendous promo skills? Take a look for yourself - Mr. Kennedy could've easily been a top star in today's WWE with the mic skills.

However, thanks to an untimely suspension back in 2007, Kennedy's big-time push was gone for good.

Being a holder of the prestigious Money In The Bank briefcase, Kennedy was bound to become a WWE World Champion. But by the end of it all, the only major accolade that Ken Anderson has to his name is just one single run with the WWE United States Championship.

Following his departure from WWE, Kennedy enjoyed a successful run in TNA where he had the privilege of holding the TNA World Heavyweight Championship on two different occasions.

Much like Melina, the former WWE Superstar was also recently seen competing for NWA. However, with the amount of talent WWE currently holds in terms of Superstars with tremendous mic-skills, Kennedy would surely fit right into the present-day WWE roster.
