What, exactly, does the Witch-king do?
His beastie spooked Snowmane causing Theoden's death. He chickened out facing Gandalf. He got snuck up on by a hobbit. He was killed by an opponent he should have crushed. He made a complete fool of himself at the battle of Fornost (in every conceivable way).
I mean, let's face it, the guy was a weenie who was operating on reputation alone. Tolkien himself even said...
