Today we are asking: Which wrestler in WWE is most underutilized right now? Stick with the main roster, not NXT. This is the first batch of responses...

-PWTorch reader George P.: Well, it's pretty obvious that WWE Creative has dropped the ball so many times it's not even funny! Ryback was an unstoppable monster who could of been in the spot Roman Reigns is in now. He was main eventing with C.M. Punk for the WWE Title, for crying out loud! Fandango had a terrible gimmick given to him, he ran with it. Chris Jericho sold for him at WrestleMania, had fans everywhere Fandangoing, and now poop! Zack Ryder did the hard work for them by selling himself to the WWE Universe with social media. If it wasn't for Zack, WWE would not have the control over social media it has now. #bunnymania. He was a top merchandise seller and fans all over the world loved him. Then they buried him just to prove to the fans that they didn't care what we thought! Shame on you WWE!

-PWTorch reader David Q. writes: Tyson Kidd is the most underutilized in WWE at the moment. Of all wrestlers who currently have an angle on Raw, Kidd’s is the biggest imbalance in talent-to-relevance ratio, having been dragged into the embarrassing nonsense of Total Divas storylines. Because he has played sidekick to pouty Natalya on Raw in dead-on-arrival segments, his underutilization has shown to be the greatest of anybody else’s. There are others who have more charisma or have been given more mic time, but Kidd is excellent in-ring and has been an integral part of the main event scene in the highly lauded NXT. Kidd’s influence on NXT has been subtle and remarkable. While balancing a potential divorce angle with Natalya, Kidd has been a credible thorn in Adrian Neville’s and Sami Zayn’s sides in the NXT Title picture. His Beats headphones are a nice touch, and his “Fact” promo style is a simple, effective, and memorable addition to his character. While other underutilized wrestlers are currently in secondary title hunts (Cesaro, Sandow), injured (Barrett), or hold titles (Dust Bros), Kidd was sent to NXT to retool and has reemerged as a viable option for bigger and better things on Raw.

-PWTorch reader Derrick H. from Lehi, Utah: My pick is Tyson Kidd. While he is used adequately on the NXT roster, he is criminally underutilized on WWE television. His wrestling ability is second to none. He is crisp, convincing, and athletic. During his tenure in NXT, he has fabricated a heel persona that is realistic and compelling. Moreover, he has showcased his ability to work any style in a variety of bouts with varying time restraints. I would certainly not complain about more Kidd sightings on Main Event, Smackdown, or Raw.

-PWTorch reader Tim from Chisholm, Minn. writes: To me, it's hands down the Wyatt Family. WWE had lightning in a bottle, this dark, ominous force that could wash in like a tidal wave and change things indelibly. Bray has a unique in-ring style to go with amazing mic work and Harper and Rowan are/were the best tag team to come around in ages. And they've let all three of them wither on the vine. I still get nauseous thinking of Bray's hellishly booked cage match where all three members of the Family struggled to take down Cena. Now randomly breaking them up with no clear direction for anyone... what an epic fail, WWE. Cesaro, Ziggler, Sandow are all legitimate runners up. But the Wyatts are the biggest no-brainer WWE has had in ages and they're being squandered terribly.
