World Champions the world missed out on

By Scott Keith on January 19, 2017

Hi Scott


Was there ever wrestlers that you thought had world champion written all over them that WWE,WCW, etc passed on?

I’m not talking about a druggee or someone who, but for a Curtain Call or blown knee would’ve had a run. I’m talking about who either had the look or talent or just something that should’ve slammed them into the main event but management just passed on.

​The most egregious is still Kofi Kingston, who had all the tools in 2009 and was super-over and ready for the big push, but then got his legs cut out and never made it back to that level again. I’m also gonna make a dark horse pick and say that in a different time and place, Brad Armstrong would have been World champ, but he just came along a bit too late for that 70s style champion. ​
