      Unfortunately, they ruined Masters less than two years after his debut. John Cena broke his Masterlock, but then Masters whined that he "hadn't had it locked in yet." So we all had to shrug that off until Bobby Lashley officially broke the hold a few months later. They went out of their way to make Masters look pathetic. I'm not saying the Masterlock should never have been broken, but I would have done it much differently.

      @@nadirsanchez1675 Let's not pretend that the WWF/WWE has never pushed guys who weren't great talkers. Hell, for most of the 2010s, they didn't trust anybody on the roster outside of John Cena (whose promos were repetitive and boring) to do an unscripted promo. Despite being a C- talker, Morrison had an A+ look and A+ athletic talent. That should have been enough to get a decent push, even if it was for only a few months. They did have two World Championships after all. Plus, a decent manager would have helped.
      Just look at the talent that has been pushed since Morrison's initial run. Jack Swagger was champion. Alberto Del Rio and Sheamus both had long underwhelming championship runs. Jinder Mahal was made champion for some reason... Kofi Kingston? (His gimmick was literally an overenthusiastic pancake waiter).

    Paul London and Brian Kendrick being mistreated still leaves me bitter and almost emotional (still real to me DAMMIT lol)
    Their WWE run seemed almost cursed at some point, both had star written all over them; great entrance, great looks, great in ring skills, charismatic and more than good enough mic skills when actually given promo time.
    Even to this day they are still my favorites of all time as they are the main reason I got hooked on WWE watching weekly and pulling for them then later pro wrestling and got interested in learning acrobatics.
    John Morrison (great physique unlike what is said in the video) is also an all time favorite of mine, arguably the most creative high flyer of that generation, his WWE run could have been more tho.
    Man I wish I could go back in time and talk some sense into 20 something yo London and Kendrick regarding their huge potential.😭

Some of them were giving a good creative build (Chris Masters for example) and some other just leftover ideas glued together (Heidenreich), or straight cross a moral line to get a name (Snitsky). Sometimes it was too chessy, but I enjoyed very much that era and all their matches, specially the performance of Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit.

    Im sure most of us who remember
    It seemed Carlito was punished for being too over out the gate…
    He knocked out Cena with his own chain and won US title, while being a heel
    Instead of being booed out of the arena
    He received a huge pop and cheers
    Seemed he was booked to not break thru after that
    Dolph Ziggler getting over on his own?Damien Sandow as Miz stunt double anyone?
    Rusev Day chants despite him not being on Raw?

    Melina was kinda part of Morrison's downfall. He disrespected Trish at Mania because of her and got buried till his eventual release. If he hadn't have done that I think he could've done more.

    You're right about Nathan Jones. I was so disappointed as he could genuinely rip people's heads off if he wanted to. WWE should have kept him as a bodyguard type until he learned to work properly. The criticisms of his skills could only have expedited his departure when it didn't have to be that way.

      His vignettes before he debuted were bad ass. They portrayed him as this Australian ex-con (which he is) who is making his way towards the WWE. But when he finally debuted and heading towards Wrestlemania where he's supposed to be on a tag team with the Undertaker, he was taken off the match and the storyline was, he was beaten backstage before the match and the Undertaker had to have a 2 on 1 match.

    First things first, awesome video. Being born in 96 The Ruthless aggression era is my era and the only era I truly watched growing up.
    I remember every single one of these wrestlers. Amazing video. Brought me back. Thank you.
    I was To young for Attitude and saw so much absurd stuff I couldn’t do the PG storylines. Ruthless aggression was just so much fucking fun.
    Few things in my opinion, Shelton Benjamin was an absolute stud an athletic freak and was so much fun to watch. Truly wish he got his big push. Big fan.
    I think the biggest one though and it was close but I’m gonna have to go with MNM Johnny Nitro (Morrison) Joey Mercury and melina tag team. They had it all.
    Nitro was a great wrestler and could make anyone look good even himself while losing. You had melina who was a sexy spit fire diva and Mercury who was a great #2 for the Tag team.
    There Look was awesome. Considering the early to mid 2000’s was still hugely caught up in Paparazzi and Hollywood celebrity red carpets pre social media before anyone could become famous.
    Big outlandish fur coats, Good theme song, Sun glasses Cameras etc. there finishing move (Snapshot) was a great name and an awesome finisher. I thought those guys were great to watch.
    Side note: something that would’ve even pushed MNM further. Do you guys remember when WWE for PPV’s used to have live photography taking pictures with huge flashes during big events for WWE magazine?
    You’d see Someone get pushed off a ladder through a table and there would be 30 cameras flashing taking pictures ringside while the crowd went wild?
    It made the event seem like a sporting event rather than just a performance. Do you get what I mean? It just made it look so much more interesting.
    I’m not sure they were still doing that for when MNM was around but considering it was a time that they probably would’ve been it even fits there image more.
    Imagine if during SummerSlam or something nitro points at one of the cameras while him and Mercury hit a snapshot on there opponent to win the Tag Team Championships.
    Idk man looking back they really had such a great thing going. Those mid 2000’s were tough on the come up because the guys that were on top at the time were either extremely talented or made such a name for themselves they weren’t going anywhere anytime soon.
    Great video! I subscribed and hit the bell. Love it. Anything ruthless aggression I’m watching and telling my buddies. Keep em coming! I’m new here!

      The attitude era is so much better than ruthless aggression era the mid carders back then were over and got huge pops from the crowd everyone who walked threw that curtain was a star and don't get me wrong I do like ruthless aggression era but it's just not as good as attitude era that's just the truth

    For MVP he supposedly got depushed for being a marijuana smoker like Brian Kendrick in 2009-2010. Reports went around like that about MVP in 2009 or 2010. But that is a rumor if he was smoking around that time or even does right now. And there are times where the guys or girls in wrestling smoked cigarettes, marijuana or that synthetic marijuana that Evan Bourne smoked.

  • @dameTHEname

    WWE wasted and buried an entire generation of WWE superstars born from 1973 to 1983 or 84 they basically only focused Lesnar,Cena,Orton and Batista and pretty much fed everybody else on the roster to John Cena that self destructive behavior back then still effects WWE to this day think about how hard it is for WWE to create legit superstars with todays generation somewhere along the way WWE's superstar formula got lost personally I think it started when WWE became a public company and it became all about greed over substance

    Carlito, John Morrison, MVP, Shelton Benjamin, Kofi Kingston, Dolph Ziggler, and The Miz are all amazing performers but what holds them back is them being in the WWE when the star power was huge, it is hard to compete when you have Cena, Triple H, HBK, Flair, Batista, Edge, Jeff Hardy, Punk, Mysterio, Orton, Undertaker, Booker T, Kurt Angel, Kane, and Chris Jericho all on the same roster, even with the brand split.

  • @tehjboney4249

    Jon Heidenreich could’ve been the next Brock Lesnar if booked appropriately,best place to book Jon would most likely be on Smackdown where they build him up by having him rack wins up.Jon could be a star on Sunday Night Heat with a complete undefeated streak going into his main roster run with Jon starting to dominant the lower card and mid card of Smackdown.Jon would have an undefeated streak develop which could’ve led to Jon challenging for the WWE Title with Jon eventually facing Brock for the WWE Title which would see Paul turn on The Next Big Thing to go to the real Next Big Thing in professional wrestling.
