#4 Former WWE Intercontinental Champion Lance Storm

The former WWE superstar was universally admired for his pristine technical wrestling skills and unanimously known to be devoid of charisma. Due to this major weakness, Storm never achieved top-tier success in McMahon's company.

Storm wrestled for WCW in the final days of the company's existence, quickly becoming a prominent player in Nitro. He was the only wrestler to simultaneously hold three championships in the promotion. His attempts to win the World Heavyweight Championship, however, were unsuccessful.

Storm has since established himself as a major trainer, with many of his students becoming champions in WWE.


#3 Former WWE Light Heavyweight Champion Dean Malenko

Dean Malenko suffered the same fate as Lance Storm in being one of the greatest wrestlers of his time with the simultaneous infamy of being a charisma vacuum.

Known as 'The Iceman' for his calculated process of breaking down his opponents in the ring, Malenko's in-ring work as the Cruiserweight Champion was good enough for PWI to announce him as the numero uno competitor in their top 500 list of 1997.

Malenko is currently part of AEW, but if he leaves the Tony Khan-led promotion at some point, an induction into the WWE Hall of Fame looks certain for the former Horseman.
