Didn't the Miz headline WrestleMania?
Actually, WWE's biggest failure IMO has to be this guy:
The fact that they had someone like Colt Cabana who can instantly form a connection with his audience and has that part of the package that so much of their roster lacks and creative couldn't figure anything to do with him is their biggest failure.
Though, truly...Colt just came along at the wrong time. If he came up now, he would be a bigger deal.
Heel Miz isn't actually a bad promo though. He also main evented as many WrestleManias as Daniel Bryan
How important is being good in the ring with WWE anyway? I think the most praise you could give Cena would be serviceable and maybe versatile (in terms of being able to fit with most other guys)? Then we are looking at Reigns being the future whose moveset is well executed with good physical charisma but still incredibly limited.

he should be the comic relief. Not santino, not sandow. etc.
He fits perfectly in that role.

No, it's a failure of Jack Swagger's. Everybody knows if a person gets a bad injury sidelining a push 3 separate times, they're permafucked and not getting a 4th chance. If that clumsy fuck throws him into the barricade even slightly less hard, we're probably talking about former-WWE champ Wade Barrett right now, and I can only hope the ISEC never forgives him for it.

D-Bry? The Big Guy? Ohwayoh?
I hear it being used lots on Austin, Jericho etc podcasts from wrestlers ergo smarks like us feel fit to use similar terminology. Don't think its a "meme" in the internet sense of the word.
Daniel Bryan was part of the Nexus
Barrett got less that Other
I told you dudes that this brother was fish or cut bait and they need to cut this fish from the line cause his bait is due.

I seriously think Wade Barrett shit in someone's bags or something.
He gets all this mid card exposure, like the IC title and KOTR, but he can't get out of this loosing streak. He must have pissed someone off really bad to have them want him on TV only to job him to everyone.

when Colt told Vince he was into alternative comedy, Vince had to scratch his head for a bit and responded with "Oh! Like Jackie Gleason!"

Wade Barrett is just a good mid card heel type. There's always been guys like him around. Not everyone needs or gets world title pushes. Guys like Mr. Perfect, Rick Rude and Razor Ramon were worlds better than him at that role and even they didn't get any real world title pushes in WWF.

I'm still kind of bitter they didn't give Barrett the strap back in '10 after he got Cena fired during the Nexus angle. Should have been a good couple of months of him and the rest of the Nexus basically taking over Raw with so Cena could have had a big return at the Rumble.
I can actually understand this one though.

Everything about Wade Barrett screams "midcard." I mean, not a BAD midcarder by any means, but still someone who occasionally gets pinned by R-Truth.

Shaemus has been a disaster in my opinion.
Orton and Sheamus were too busy feuding over it, boringly.

Translation: "Sheamus is way too Irish to win the title"
He was great on renee's show and the jbl show. I dont get why we dont get those personalities on raw or smackdown? Stop making sd a rerun of raw highlights and put some youtube/backstage stuff there.
I dont get why vince runs raw the way he does. Hopefully it changes once theyre off usa and possibly only on the network where they can do more stuff and not worry about commercial breaks and 3 hours of filler
Sheamus became champ in record time.
Beating D. Bry at mania is what killed him dead though.

Killed Big Dave as well, sent him home crying to his millions of hollywood dollars.
Sheamus was a Triple H guy. That's how he rose so fast.
I don't know what happened behind the scenes, but at some point he became yesterday's news and Triple H got himself a new project.

Well biggest is one heck of a statement but I'll at least consider it one of their more notable modern screw ups.
Man made me a fan way back in the Nexus (or even NXT actually) when he was thrown straight in the deep end, opening promo spots, ppv main events, arguably the biggest angle WWE had in 2010. It would be so easy for that to all fall completely flat especially taking the Nexus being rookies into account but Barrett was like the glue that kept that oddball faction together, he had presence on the mic compared to most other midcarders and I think he'd still do well today with some meaningful direction.
Feels like they constantly squander any momentum he gets, Bad News Barrett getting too over? better turn him into a loser King that gains him absolutely nothing!
Sycho Sid is AMAZING in 1996. The man can do no wrong. Easily the loudest pops wherever they go. Brutal Big Boots, Crisp Chokeslams, Punishing Powerbombs. His promos are done flawlessly. Even a great bit of stunt driving the week after his debut.
This is the same guy who I never wanted to see again after his dreadful matches and awful promos in 1995.

If turned a corner on sid.,never liked him,but now I love him
His feud with HBK in late 96 / early 97 was amazing.
