10 WWE PG Era Superstars You Don't Remember
These are 10 WWE PG era wrestlers you don't remember
3. Mason Ryan
When knee injuries put an end to a promising football career, Welsh adonis Barri Griffiths set his sights on pro wrestling instead.
Barri certainly had the superstar look and, after training for a couple of years in FCW, was called up to the main roster (as Mason Ryan) to be a member of the New Nexus, making a debut statement by interfering in a match between CM Punk and John Cena.
You couldn’t miss the muscleman but, beyond his bulging physique, there simply wasn’t a lot there to keep fans’ attention. Injuries didn’t help, but Mason never quite put it all together and WWE obviously felt he needed more ‘seasoning’, eventually sending him to the rebooted developmental version of NXT.
Unlike Batista, who he was often (perhaps unfairly) compared to, Ryan never quite figured it out and WWE eventually cut bait.
