10 Biggest Main Roster Flops Before NXT

10. The Entire Spirit Squad

What are we? Some kinda Spirit Squad?

What better way to start off a list of WWE completely bungling young talent than with a 5 for 1 special! Kenny, Johnny, Mitch, Ziggy and Mikey were five of Ohio Valley Wrestling’s best when they hit the road dressed as a sitcom dance group. The halftime dance crew of the National Lacrosse League’s Chicago Shamrocks.

One of WWE’s most infamous gimmicks, the Spirit Squad, unfortunately killed the careers of some of WWE’s best prospects. Johnny Jeter at 19 years old packed everything he owned in the trunk of his car and drove from San Diego to Louisville and waited tables at Chilies to pay for wrestling school.

Considered by OVW management to be “Ricky Morton for the 21st century”, Johnny joined Task Force Flex and within a year and a half had quit the business. Suddenly Butch doesn’t look so bad.
