Easily Mr. Kennedy. Don't get me wrong, he showed signs of what could've been in TNA with Angle, but he was never the same. Two things about him that make me sad
1) he's been retconned as an internet darling type of wrestler when smarks hated him for being sloppy in the ring back then
2) he's the 1.0 of LA Knight, but in a less crowded era, had a higher ceiling, and it all went so spectacularly wrong
He was a good piece of that lost mid 2000s SmackDown era, had a forgotten great feud with Taker, took a brutal fucking chairshot. Had an Opie & Anthony thing going for him too, if we could do his career over again he's like the diet Austin they needed for the PG era but it never happens for him. It sucks.
