Eight Superstars Who Deserve a Better Push

The WWE can be so frustrating sometimes.  Giving huge pushes to useless no-talents such as Mark Henry and the Great Khali, building the company around guys like Batista and John Cena, when there are so many others deserving of the spot.

There are eight guys that deserve far better than how the WWE is using them right now.

Shelton Benjamin

A truly phenomenal athlete, nobody in the WWE is better when it comes to in ring ability.  Nobody is even close.

In his nearly six years in the WWE, nobody has fallen in and out of favor with the powers that be within the WWE as much as Benjamin.  One minute, he's pinning Triple H cleanly, the next he's jobbing to the likes of Rob Conway and Muhammad Hassan.

After getting a megapush to the main event, he feuded with Evolution and beating every member at some point or another,

Then came Carlito.

Carlito, who was given an even bigger push over the previous year, was drafted to Raw.  On his first night with the brand, he defeated Benjamin for the Intercontinental Championship.

And from that point forward, it seemed like Benjamin was forgotten.  Pushed aside for Carlito's push, he went on a losing streak before his "mama" got involved and got him back on track.

After a couple more Intercontinental title reigns and a feud with Rob Van Dam in the spring of 2006, he got lost in shuffle for about a year and half before jumping over to ECW with a reinvigorated push.

Now, in the past year, he's been built stronger, with a six-month (and counting) US title reign, taking part of the championship scramble at Unforgiven, and being redefined as the "Gold Standard" of the WWE (an accurate nickname).

But he deserves better than that.

Until he gets a WWE or World Heavyweight Championship reign, he remains at the top of this list.

Charlie Haas

The other half of the World's Greatest Tag Team also belongs on this list. 

To show that most WWE fans can't appreciate talent, the term "Haas pop" has become the term to describe what happens when a wrestler gets no reaction.

And that's a damn shame.

Haas is one of the most talented wrestlers in the WWE.  He deserves better than being one of the lower mid-carders who just happen to stay onto the roster because they need a "good hand."

Recently, he's finally gotten over with the fans with the help of his new gimmick of impersonating other wrestlers.  Hopefully, they use that gimmick to give him the push he so deserves.

Scotty Goldman

The wrestler formerly known as Colt Cabana, best known for being CM Punk's tag team partner in Ring of Honor as part of the Second City Saints, debuted in the WWE in the fall of 2008.

During that time he's only been in a few matches, losing all of them, and hasn't been seen on TV in months.

Another example of the WWE not knowing talent.

He's great in the ring, but it's his charisma that set's him apart.

There are few guys in the business as entertaining as he is.  Go read his blog on the WWE Universe, or see some of his promos as "Colt Cabana" on YouTube, and judge for yourself.

Paul Burchill

Poor Paul Burchill. What does he have to do to catch a break?
