It is quite common that a wrestler debut being a bit green, so fans wait patiently for that wrestler to improve over time. However, unfortunately some wrestlers are not able to improve after months, or even years, and therefore end up having an absolutely forgettable career.
An excellent example is Eva Marie, who failed in her first WWE run, years later got another chance, and failed again - she just never improved one bit. Just like Eva Marie, over the years there have also been other wrestlers who never improved, so let's take a look at some of them.
10 Eva Marie
Eva Marie made her WWE debut in 2013, in her first televised match she teamed with Natalya and JoJo to defeat Aksana, Alicia Fox and Rosa Mendes. Eva Marie had the look, but her in-ring skills were terrible. As time went on Eva Marie didn't improve, as she still looked like a rookie and had zero charisma, so fans started to get bored with her.
In 2017, being the same terrible superstar, Eva Marie and WWE parted ways. Eva Marie returned to WWE in 2021, and some fans were hopeful to see her improved, but after a couple of months everyone realized that she was still a mediocre superstar. The only decent match of Eva Marie's career was against Bayley on the November 25, 2015, edition of NXT.
9 The Great Khali
The Great Khali came to WWE to rule, to dominate, to be an unstoppable monster heel. However, he ended up being a bad joke, one of the worst wrestlers in the history of the company, no exaggeration.
Vince McMahon gave the Great Khali a big push, which even led him to become World Heavyweight Champion, but he never showed signs of improvement, and eventually even Vince lost patience and sent him to the under-card, yet it's still unbelievable that the Great Khali worked eight years for WWE.
8 Tamina
Truth be told, the only reason Tamina has been in WWE for so long is because of her father's legacy, because, if it were up to Tamina's abilities, she wouldn't be in the biggest promotion in history.
Tamina can't wrestle, she can't talk, and she can't develop her persona, in short, she doesn't excel in any aspect of sports entertainment. Tamina has always been this way, sadly she never got better.
7 Nia Jax
Nia Jax is quite similar to Tamina, as Jax is also uncharismatic, she can't cut a promo to save her life and her in-ring skills are mediocre and sloppy. The only difference between Tamina and Nia Jax, is that the latter was consistently pushed, winning the Raw Women's Championship and the Women's Tag Team Championship (twice).
Worst of all, it seems that Nia Jax would still be a constant on television today if it weren't for COVID-19's vaccine policies.
6 Mojo Rawley
Mojo Rawley was in WWE between 2012 and 2020. He had an excellent look, standing at 6' 3" and weighing 279 pounds, anyone would think he had the looks of a world champion. However, Rawley never developed his in-ring skills, as he always had a mediocre level, and that is precisely why the greatest achievement in his wrestling career was winning the 24/7 Championship.
At least Mojo Rawley had some charisma, and maybe that's what allowed him to stay so long in the company.
5 Chris Masters
Speaking of wrestlers with world champion looks, here is Chris Masters, who was truly imposing in the ring, with truly destructive power. Chris Masters' first televised match was during the February 21, 2005, episode of Raw, when he easily defeated Steven Richards.
Masters had a promising start to his career, winning his first 15 matches, and being pinned for the first time by Shawn Michaels at Unforgiven 2005, which was the best match of his career. Inexplicably that was Masters' prime, as he never did better than that in his career.
4 Brie Bella
Certainly, Brie Bella is a WWE Hall of Famer, but it's no secret to anyone that she was always the less talented twin. Nikki Bella did improve, she had a great Divas Title reign, and had some good matches, she was pretty intense in the ring and her character was fun to watch.
Brie Bella, on the other hand, was a sloppy worker, who botched frequently and had no idea how to tell a story in the ring. Unfortunately, Brie Bella never really improved her game.
3 Dana Brooke
Dana Brooke has been in WWE since 2014 and unbelievably as of today she still has not improved. Dana is very athletic, but that's useless if she doesn't know how to use that athleticism within the ropes.
Do you remember any memorable Dana Brooke match? Probably not, you have to admit that she wasn't born for wrestling, or at least she doesn't belong to this era, in which women actually do wrestle.
2 Bo Dallas
Bray Wyatt's brother, Bo Dallas, had a promising start to his career, as when he took his first steps in NXT, he looked pretty green, but his potential was remarkable. He had a good 280-day NXT Title reign, delivering good matches against Sami Zayn and Adrian Neville.
However, when Bo Dallas got the call-up to the main roster he failed to stand out. In fact, instead of getting better, Bo Dallas got worse and ended up having a totally forgettable WWE career.
1 Braun Strowman
Braun Strowman made a huge impact when he made his WWE debut in 2015, and many expected big things from him. Today we realize that Strowman was a disappointment. He certainly had some good moments, especially when he feuded with Roman Reigns, but he never established himself as a megastar, he was never the Monster Among Men he was supposed to be.
It would have been amazing to see Braun Strowman at his peak, but he just never improved, and it's already very hard for him to get better at 38 years old.
