Mabel, known to younger fans by his Attitude Era persona Viscera, got a big singles push in the mid '90s. It started with him winning the WWE King of the Ring in 1995 and being positioned as the company's top heel and set to face Diesel for the title at SummerSlam.

However, WWE management soon realized that Mabel wasn't ready for the top and lost his match against Diesel before quickly dropping down the card.

#3 Mr. Kennedy

Mr. Kennedy was set for big things with a huge push early in his WWE career. He won the Money In The Bank early on in his career but injury put an end to that. Next, he was set to be named as Vince McMahon's illegitimate son in the top storyline in WWE at the time but a Wellness Policy violation at the wrong time cost him that spot.

Kennedy's WWE career ended abruptly in 2009 after Randy Orton allegedly got management to release him calling him unsafe to work with.
