Thank you for reading my article today, and now let's get down to buisness. I am going to give you 10 superstars who WWE talent was wasted and was released. Okay here goes nothing.
Elijah Burke
After not appearing on TV for months, Elijah Burke was released from WWE. Burke is now signed a deal with TNA and is called "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero.
Burke had 103-1 record in boxing. He was very talented. He was leader of the New Breed consisting of Matt Striker, Marcus Cor Von, Kevin Thorn, and for a little while, CM Punk.
Burke was very talented, he has beaten some of the best Superstars in the ECW locker Room. Although he was never able to go to Raw or Smackdown. ECW was his home. But he was released, and that is one of five wasted talents.
Finishing Move: The Elijah Express
Chuck Palumbo
The hardcore biker Chuck Palumbo, was in his prime when he was released. Palumbo has held the tag team championship with almost life partner Billy Gunn.
The team of Billy and Chuck will go down in history as one of the best tag teams to ever step foot inside the ring.
Whether it was his obsession with Michelle McCool or being featured in the New York Times, Palumbo was a hardcore, and his talent was wasted, as he drifted of around the same time Elijah Burke was released.
Finishing Move: Full Throttle
Kenny Dykstra
The former Spirit Squad member was one of the two members to escape form the box DX put them in.
During his run with The Spirit Squad, he was leader of the group, and also became tag team Champs with his good friend Johnny.
He came back in 2007, and he defeated Ric Flair. Now that is impressive. He was released in 2008; it was sad but it was just another wasted talent.
Finishing Move: Guillotine Leg Drop
Ricky Ortiz
The most recent member of the club that Mr. McMahon wasted talent on. Ortiz was a pure athlete after not making it in the NFL. He decided he was going to become a WWE superstar and he did.
He was very good, he dated the hottest vegetarian, now that is impressive. He went undefeated in his first few matches. And he started selling merchandise on his second victory against Chavo Guerrero. And his slogan gets stuck in your head: "Rally Up!"
Finishing Move: The Big O
Paul London
To the fans he is known as Paul London, to me he's known to be as the best Cruiserweight Champion of all time.
The man who put together one of the greatest Tag team of all time London & Kendrick. Why was he released because Mr.McMahon had a problem with him for some reason.
He was a daredevil, he is today's Evan Bourne (on ECW). He is a fan favorite; he has held more titles than I can count (just kidding).
Finishing Move: Shooting Star Press
Lance Cade
A former HBK hater, also a former tag team Champion, he was one of WWE's biggest rednecks, Lance Cade. I know he was released because he was found to have drugs on a plane. But still for god sakes, he pinned the Heart Break Kid.
Cade moved off to the AWA and is one of the best wrestlers the promotion has to offer. That what WWE should of done, but simply he was a wasted talent.
