Brian Kendrick, who was trained by Shawn Michaels (who also trained Daniel Bryan in the same class) had a lengthy run in the WWE in the 2000’s where he displayed a multi-faceted skill set and was one half of the longest Smackdown World Tag Team Championship with Paul London.  When he went solo as “The Brian Kendrick” it was thought that he would breakout to the upper card but he was instead shortly released.
