5 wasted talents in WWE history

Jerry “The King” Lawler never won a title after coming to WWE in 1992

2: Rowdy Roddy Piper

Roddy Piper should have been a WWF World Champion

As odd is this is going to sound, Piper wasn’t used properly when he was in the WWF. The talented wrestler and equally challenging talker was one of the best to ever get in the ring, but he never wore the company’s top title.

While he was a perfect opponent for Hulk Hogan at the beginning of WrestleMania and helped to usher in Hulkamania, there are many who believe, including Hogan and myself, that Piper could have been the guy for a time in the company and carry it well. Piper was equally popular in the NWA but never held the brass ring as well.
