10 wrestlers that should never have been in the WWE

#1 Simon Dean

Simon Dean was a condescending fitness expert

The self-confessed fitness guru arrived in the WWE in 2004 pushing his ‘Simon System’ a diet and exercise programme that could help wrestler’s struggling with their weight or who needed toning up to compete in the ring. In essence the gimmick could have worked but unfortunately for the WWE, Mike Bucci who portrayed the character was limited in his skill-set whether that be as a wrestler or on the microphone.

Bucci had actually been a highly successful wrestler in the original ECW and had come to the WWE with high hopes of forging a decent career. As well as his limited skill-set however, he also had another problem, his size! Everyone by now is well aware that Vince McMahon likes his tall and muscular wrestlers but at just 5ft 10in and weighing just over 200lbs he was never going to fit into the WWE.

He retired from wrestling in 2006 and took over the development programme in the WWE until 2007 when he left the company. Since then he has made brief appearances on the independent circuit but no longer is a full-time wrestler.
