#6 Hideo Itami
Hideo Itami came into WWE with a lot of hype. His success on the independent circuit and Japan as KENTA had made him a hot commodity and his signing with WWE was some kind of a dream scenario for most of the wrestling fans. WWE to their credit did support the whole fiasco and used Hulk Hogan to hype the signing.
Everything seemed to be going in the way that Hideo wanted and he was on his way to the top of the mountain in NXT. And then the injury bug bit. It was his shoulder that suffered the problem and it sidelined him for six months just when he was starting to take over.
