Paul Heyman unveils his list of underutilized talent in pro wrestling

Paul Heyman provided a list of the five most underutilized talents in pro wrestling during his UK Sun blog. The list includes James Mitchell, the entire TNA Roster, Randy Orton, Beth Phoenix, and Tito Ortiz.

Here's a snippet of what Heyman has to say about Orton: "The fact Orton carries the heat he does right now, even though he really hasn't done anything in almost a year - when he was given the credit for putting Shawn Michaels, Rob Van Dam, and a host of legends on the shelf - is a testament to his ability to carry himself like a main-event heel." Check out the UK Sun to find out the order and for explanations for Heyman's rankings.

Powell’s POV: Can you imagine how great an Orton and Mitchell on-air pairing would be? It's absurd that TNA can't find a role for Mitchell that doesn't involve Abyss. I love Heyman's idea of WWE or TNA reaching out to Ortiz. He's not at the peak of his MMA popularity due to his falling out with UFC president Dana White, but he knows how to hype a fight and is a fan of pro wrestling.
