I'll leave Sean O'Haire out as he has been discussed plenty as a huge ball dropped.
This thread is mainly discussing which gimmicks that you viewed as gold but were in disbelief at how they were handled so poorly. It can be anything from the past or even present day if you view a superstar's gimmick should be used better.
I will start off by throwing Bad News Barrett into the hat. Now while I don't think Barrett is bad at this gimmick or it wasn't getting over, I feel it could have been SO much more than him simply coming out before a match and insulting the crowd or saying how much of a bummer it is that he is going to win and his opponent is going to lose.
Case in point; the 2014 Royal Rumble. I thought about this as the Rumble was going on, but I cannot take credit for it as I remember another poster bringing it up in I think a live discussion. Number 30 hits and everyone is wanting Daniel Bryan but instead gets silence when the buzzer hits and then someone says "Im afraid i've got some BAD NEWS" and Barrett comes out as the number 30th instead of Bryan. This would have been gold, but unfortunately did not happen as I don't think WWE was expecting the reactions from that night.
I also feel they missed a great opportunity with Barrett in the first Chicago Raw after Punk walked out. Could you imagine the riot with Punk's music playing and someone comes out in his ring gear and hoody only for Bad News to turn around and reveal it was him? It would have been great.
Goldberg in the WWE is kind of debatable as it wasn't really a missed opportunity more than it was just a straight up flop. His booking could have and should have been MUCH better in my opinion.
Any wrestler you know that could have been better utilized past or present?
