Worse failed attempt at creating a draw.

Who is the most notorious star which the WWE put all their time, resources, money and push into that didn't amount to Jack for them in investment returns or cultural significance?

I'd have to say Lex Luger. The man had his fans and the WWE pushed him to the moon but down the line he's most known for being the guy that jumped ship on the first episode of Nitro.

Bobby Lashley? He was pushed pretty hard only to walk away just as the trigger was finally being pulled.

Lashley is a decent shout from more recent times. Luger however was pushed to the moon as the next Hulk Hogan & flopped more dramatically than the XFL

Drew McIntyre? He was pushed as the next Lesnar until he flopped.

Chris Masters could be another he was massively built up when he debuted.

As a future prediction, what price Sin Cara (original) being added to this list in a couple of years time?

Vladimir Kozlov, a near year long undefeated streak and wins over Triple H, Jeff Hardy and The Undertaker did less to get this guy over than tagging with a fake Itallian

I think we have the most serious contender to the captain of the Lex Express!

I forgot how he was booked when he debuted!

Diesel, pushed to the moon, couldn't draw flies if he had fire then left the WWF high and dry

Whilst not any worse than those already mentioned, I'd say Ken Kennedy deserves to be among those on the list.

From Day 1 this guy was pushed to the moon, with hopes high amongst WWE bigwigs that he'd be the next Austin/Rock level performer.

Through a combination of injuries and his own stupidity he never hit the heights that he was predicted to reach.

How about a personal favourite of mine - Heidenreich. Rubbish on all levels but was good at poetry.

And bumming Michael Cole.

Yeah Heidenreich was awful, remember when they tried making him into a Road Warrior along with Animal? He jumped at the sound of his own pyro going off during the Smackdown tribute show for Eddie Guerrero! Says it all really.

Repackaged more times than a prize for pass the parcel.

Whilst we are on the topic of big, ugly useless men, what happened to Snitsky?

That was the problem. *rimshot*

Snitsky went unbeaten for a year if I remember rightly.

Mr Kennedy was due a massive push aswell before he blew it.

BigDaddy V is another everytime he was repackaged he was pushed only to flop, King Mabel anyone?

A-Train/Albert. I still have a little chuckle to myself when I remember the 'shave your back' chants.

He is doing well in Japan now though, and has improved a lot. I think there is a chance he may come back to the WWE. Whether he would draw this time remains to be seen.

How old is Albert now?

I would doubt it. He is very hard to care about as he has very little personaility. Neither does he appeal to kids or women because of his look. He's decent in the ring and can move well for a big man but would always rely heavily on a gimmick to get over.

I think he could work in a smash mouth enforcer role. Hell, hes never going to main event, but he would do well helping a cowardly heel character get over. Put him with Tyson Kidd.
