10 Precise moments in WWE history when pushes ended

A wasted talent

#2 Drew McIntyre

“The Chosen One”

Of everyone mentioned on this list, nobody had gotten as good of a rub as Drew had during the early stages of his career. During his first few weeks with the company, McIntyre was joined in the ring by WWE owner Vince McMahon who proceeded to call Drew a “future world champion” and provide him with the ultimate stamp of approval. This earned McIntyre the moniker of 'The Chosen One', as he seemed destined for nothing short of greatness within the confines of a WWE ring.

However, as with everyone else on this list, things didn't end as well as they had begun for Drew McIntyre. After a lengthy and impressive stint as Intercontinental Champion, McIntryre's began to just simply fizzle out.

With the introduction of the Nexus to WWE television, there was a large influx of new and younger talent to the WWE roster and McIntyre seemed to get lost in the shuffle. He went on to join 3MB and never did much else for the company. Simply an opportunity WWE once again gave up on too easily.
