Chris Kanyon started off his WWE run well, but he fizzled out to enhancement status by the end.  This was a shame as although he was not a main eventer in WCW, he was at least allowed to showcase his ample skills.  Kanyon developed an offensive move set that defined innovation and more often than not he would usher a move that had never been seen before. Kanyon would later claim that he was let go by the WWE because of his homosexuality.  Whether that is true or not will remain a mystery, but Kanyon would later commit suicide do to inabilities to deal with his depression.
