5 Wrestlers with huge potential that are mostly forgotten

#3 Simon Diamond and Big Dick Hertz

Simon Diamond was coming, and he brought his big Dick with him.

Trained by the legendary Dean Malenko, Simon Diamond was smooth as silk in the ring and had an easy, free demeanour on the mike.

Big Dick Hertz was big, looked great, and...that was about it. But paired together, the duo became stronger than the sum of their parts. They certainly stirred up controversy at the time, including making their network (The Nashville Network at the time, later re-dubbed Spike TV) very nervous and uncomfortable.

Dick Hertz faded quickly, but Simon Diamond seemed like he might still make something of himself for awhile. After a largely-forgettable TNA run, he was re-hired as a road agent and has spent the rest of his career working backstage.

What held them back: Diamond isn't as large as the major promotions want their wrestlers to be. Dick Hertz was clumsy in the ring and couldn't cut a promo to save his life. Also, playing a 'gay' character may have hurt his chances with the WWE, who swung toward a PG rating in recent years.
