The angle Goldberg did with Brock at No Way Out 2004 was belting too. Sitting front row, slowly getting up, brawling and then looking a million dollars getting arrested. It’s easy to forget considering what a shambles the Wrestlemania 20 match was, but some of the build up for that bout was brilliant. It’s no wonder they had the feud of the century twelve years later.

Good shout. Great part of the Eddie story too.

but the third best wrestler there

Gonna have to disagree.

I think Zeus may have only had one other match & that was for WWC in Puerto Rico versus Abdullah the Butcher, which was bloody awful! Beefcake & Hogan may well have been limited in the ring, but Zeus was the drizzling shits!

Already mentioned but the one that comes to mind is Fandango (even though technically he debut'ed under another name previously).

Great build via vignettes, Chris Jericho fued which he won at Mania, got his theme into the UK charts, was poised to win the IC belt (alledgedly)....

Then gets injured just prior to said IC championship match. Axel Curtis replaced him and won instead.

Then on his return the magic was gone. Real shame.

He was also part of the Alliance to end Hulkamania in WCW I believe.

Lord Tensai is one in supeisedvhadnt been mentioned. Was hyped up to be amazing, beats Cena in his debut match then the week after just completely deflated. 

He didn't even have a peak. He stepped through the curtain and the world groaned. If we're being pedantic, he'd debuted years earlier too.
