Top 5 Missed Opportunities: New Generation Era
1. Doink the Clown
-In a perfect world he sticks around, he's a heel, and maybe gets the IC strap. Could have morphed into his ECW persona where he was half Doink Half Matt Bourne, struggling with the character and his real self. I know he was a little before the New Gen era but came in right on the line and then they made Doink a goofy ass idiot.
2. Bam Bam Bigelow
-Something about Bigelow at the top as a heel World champ or at the very least a credible challenger for Bret, Diesel, Shawn, and Undertaker.
3. Diesel
-The guy was over, but I felt he should have turned heel during his reign. I'm splitting hairs, the guy was a badass that could have been an Austin-style character if they knew about Austin-style characters. This is why he worked so well in WCW, they were heels by traditional standards but even the top WCW babyfaces came across pretty fuckin whack.
4. Tatanka
-Borderline New Gen talent but I think he could have been neck and neck with Razor as a top IC contender, maybe take Razor's spot.
5. Razor Ramon
-Did all they could with him as a top tier midcarder. A heel to battle Shawn, Takert, and Diesel would have been cool or the guy to dethrone a heel Diesel in the summer of 1995.
