Dean Ambrose was always my favorite member of the Shield. Despite being arguably the most popular member of the group after the break up in 2014, the company always treated him like the black sheep and it was very clear after returning from his injury in 2018 they were taking him for granted. Thank God he left because the WWE product during that time was utterly atrocious.

[@FirstLast-yh7gj]

That’s not even debatable Ambrose was easily the most popular

[@darkneon5637]

I can't blame him during 2018 and 19, it was a weird year to be a wrestling fan

Gangrel was not exiled from the Ministry of Darkness. The Brood LEFT the Ministry and Gangrel went on to betray Edge and Christian to side with the Hardy Boys and then eventually left for the B and C shows. The hardcore title did not get abolished. It was RETIRED. The fact that Wrestlelamia STILL uses Dave Meltzer as a source is absolutely inexcusable.

[@Rick-si1re]

You either have it or you don't have it and Big Show clearly didn't have "it" when it came to being a huge star, he should have gotten out of professional wrestling probably around the time he first left WCW, WWE turned him into a joke character for most of his career, he had a failed title run and the big nasty giant heel thing just didn't work out for him and sadly that's the best they could do with it but personality and charisma wise he failed, the same goes for Ricochet and alot of the people on this list. I've said this for years and years, it's all about your personality and your charisma, that's what truly gets you over with the fans, not your wrestling ability, a fact that Bret Hart still to this day hasn't truly embraced, he thinks it's the work rate, but he can't explain guys like Hogan, Nash and Warrior, yes even Warrior, who were at one point in their career bigger stars then him, and if you're looking for a "wrestling clinic" you're not going to get it from Hogan, (although I heard he really could "wrestle" he has done so in Japan), you're certainly not going to get it from Nash and we're not even going to get started talking about the Warrior but what did they all have in common, their personas, that's what, and that's what the fans connected to, that's why they were all world champions and multi-time main eventers.

Well here is one Ravishing Rick Rude the Feud he was supposed to have with the big boss man in 1990. Which was making jokes about the boss man's mother in which was a build up to 1991's wrestlemaina 7 in which went to Mr. Perfect! Because he decided not to no show a show at MSG. Which Bruce Prichard knew something was up and knew that Rick didn't like how things was going . Rick thought he wasn't going to become champ cause he was also suppose to be in the Survivor series 90. Well you kinda knew on superstars of wrestling that one segment was Rude's last time the same as Ken shamrock and Chris Jericho 1999 on smackdown. Chris beat the hell out of Shamrock coughing up blood in a hardcore match you didn't see Shamrock. Once again this Feud went to Road Dogg Jessie James. Then didn't go nowhere because of Road Dogg's demon' so that was pulled.
