the fact that DDP has a successful post-wrestling career rehabilitating WWE's past employees is a pretty good middle finger to the company.
I will never not be butt hurt at how he was treated in the WWE. I used to watch both WCW and WWF. I was a pretty big DDP mark. I'm glad he's living the good life now, and helping people with his Yoga.
Consedering he had a fued with the undertaker that is bad
@@benpezzot8805 you think Undertaker had beef with DDP, or was he following directives from McMahon?
@@T-NUGGZ no more mcmahon and plus undertaker is one of the top stars of the company and u had that storyline that would have screwed anyone
foreal he was my fsvorite wcw guy.....Bang!
Nash and Hall ruined themselves. Even in WCW, they ruined themselves.
itsLouieduh Razor Ramon made Hall popular and Diesel made Nash popular they just brought the characteristics to WCW plus Hogan with WWF/E dude was tripping putting them on the list
Only in it for money they didn't care about the business more Nash then Hall
I think if Scott Steiner were to have taken DDP's storyline and vice versa, it would've been a lot better. Have Steiner follow Taker's wife, have DDP go up against HHH
Yeah that would have been the smart and obvious thing to do.
Hhh would have probably buried ddp
Yeah, he would cause WWE was pushing young talent. DDP was old. DDP would be mid card at best.
Believe it or not, Steiner and DDP actually had that very feud on Nitro back in WCW! Scott was stalking Kimberly Page and was far more convincing as the crazy stalker as you can probably imagine lol. And it never made sense that DDP would be stalking Taker's then wife while he himself was married to Kimberly at the time. WWE just expected everyone to forget Kimberly existed. Bit hard when she was involved in major storylines in WCW and was also the head Nitro Girl.
Here's the actual feud between Steiner and DDP back in the day on Nitro: ruclips.net/video/x_ISa7fJSQQ/видео.html
WWE didn't ruin nWo . WCW ruined them by adding a quarter of the roster to nWo. Also they were old and injury prone and WWE didn't force Hall to be an addict and alcoholic. WWE didn't ruin Malenko either. Great wrestler, no charisma. The fans chose Mysterio over Ultimo Dragon.
This. Saying that WWE ruined nWo just shows you don't know what you're talking about. nWo was played out by the time WCW died, because so many people had been in the nWo that it meant nothing any more. You had base nWo, Wolfpac, nWo 2000, etc. There were so many offshoots.
True talk? The only reason why nWo had any relevance was because it was riding on the Hogan heel turn. Otherwise it would have just been Nash and Hall who had creative control over their matches, and they'd be Triple H back then. The Hogan heel turn had SUCH a huge reaction, and the nWo was his stable to position himself as the bad guy, and it worked, storyline wise.
"No it wasn't! nWo-"
No, storyline wise it was. Hence Starrcade 97, when it was supposed to come to an end, yet Hogan screwed it up by telling the ref to do a normal count. But that's another conversation. Sting was to conquer the nWo there by defeating the leader. Of course, WCW kept the stable going, running it into the ground. Even when Goldberg showed up as the hottest attraction by being undefeated, nWo had to ruin it and rub it into the face of the fans with the finger poke of doom, just so they could remain on top at the cost of the last thing WCW really had going for it.
If you understand the business, you can't say that the WWE ruined nWo. nWo ruined nWo. It was hot, but bad decisions, selfish booking, and dead horse beating nullified it. Would the Four Horsemen be as fondly remembered if they had a quarter of the roster of whatever company they were in? Would DX? No. No, they wouldn't.
And it wasn't like WWE didn't try to give them a chance. Buff Bagwell, Ultimo, Dean. Those guys didn't stay because they didn't go over with the fans. Eddie Guerrero did. Chris Benoit did. Perry Saturn was over with a mop. Ric Flair was big enough to last on his own merits. Booker T, while he sucks on commentary, went over. Eric Bischoff was a great heel General Manager. Chris Jericho is one of the best. Big Show made it. There are a good number of WCW wrestlers turning to WWE success stories. Now, the reason why the Invasion storyline didn't work as well and WWE had to work with what they had was because of the no-compete clauses on contracts. With a bunch of mid-carders and no-names, what the hell was WWE supposed to do? Remember - when WWE bought out WCW, they bought out those contracts too, so they had to do something with them in that time. Slim pickings, which was why they had to use others to fill the gaps, and they had to run that story, as they went REALLY public with their buyout of WCW. To NOT make a story out of it would have been their loss - it just ended up being lackluster. A lot of these guys had their chance, and it simply didn't work out for them. WWE can't keep everyone on contract and on the roster forever. At the end of the day, they're still a business, as bad as Triple H is running it now.
It's sad, but that's the way in the wrestling business. Bad business decisions plague each company here and there. Like WCW trying to turn Ric Flair into "Spartacus". Of course, that helped WWF, as Ric went to them for about a year. If you can just understand why things had to happen, you'll better understand the decisions that were made.
@@Supperdude9- I never understood men getting heartfelt and emotional over something that has nothing to do with them. Also, if you really read my comment, I clearly stated that they were ruined back in WCW. So you agreed with me and said I dont know what I'm talking about. Also, guys like Hogan, Nash, and Hall will never be played out. They could always return to a bigger pop than the current roster and draw better.
@@Supperdude9 Exactly! And the whole point of bringing in nWo for WWE was a giant jab at just how bad that storyline actually got, a sort of meta joke about how nWo killed WCW :P
@@DUB_87 No, misunderstanding. Sorry. Should have clarified. "=Those= who say that WWE ruined nWo just shows that (those who say) don't know what they're talking about." And apologies for not getting back to this comment sooner.
LET THIS MAN SPEAK
WWE Buried most of the WCW wrestlers.
Sure but guys like Flair, Stone Cold, Booker, Jericho, Big Show and Benoit all got a big piece of the pie so I guess it all depended on whether or not Vince liked you?
@@MrManfly
Flair was a legend - unfuckwithable;
Booker got popular only after being buried by HHH and being relegated to the second-tier
Stone Cold was an absolute unknown when he arrived in WWE
Jericho and Show were in WCW for a relatively short time and so Vince could still remold them into "His" boys
Benoit; it took a while for him (and Eddie) to get a real push.
But still they got a big slice of the WWE pie, whether they were initially buried or not. And even some like Booker getting “buried” at the start was all part of the story line Vince was selling at the time.
@@MrManfly
Booker didn’t get what he deserved.
The rest got good treatment because they chose WWE when WCW was still relevant and didn’t wait until they had no other option.
what about rey mysterio he was the only wcw star that made it bigger that the rest he was world champion ,tag team champion, cruiserweight champion, intercontinental champion, and US champion wish makes him grand slam champion. he also headline several pay per views and also won a royal rumble making him the longest lasting superstar at a royal rumble and for sure he will be a hall of famer when he retires
What about Sting? He got treated badly
Dean Becenti
But that was more his own fault and not the wwe's
Dean Becenti yes he is going bald but I doubt it was wwe fault
I agree, it's called aging, lol!
LiamH81 his hairline did the job that night
rip english
you could argue ddp popularity was as big as the rock back in his wcw days too bad wwe didn't use this to create a fued between them
JOE KICKASS The OG people's champ
JOE KICKASS that's a very good point. all of these wrestlers were top caliber and honestly the WWF should have acquired most of these guys waaaaaay before they eventually did.
JOE KICKASS-Goldberg, Sting, and Hogan were always bigger than DDP.
pyledog-No it isn't. How could DDP be as popular as The Rock when their were at least 3 guys in WCW more popular than him.
DDP did an interview for a documentary (can’t remember which) where he said he initially wanted to feud with the Rock for his debut, “People’s Champion vs People’s Champion.” For whatever reason he opted to take the Stalker route after the WWF didn’t wanna do that.
steamboat was probably the biggest waste of those. vince only saw him as a mid level guy with the stupid fire-breathing gimmick. If they just booked him as an honest, hard-working babyface, like a Bret Hart, they could've done so much more with him. unfortunately, it was still be the big roided up hoss era.
Vince would always put
WWF/E wrestlers over WCW ones. He wanted the public to think he's organisation was the best one. Hence why mid carders always beat former WCW heavyweight champions
Raven, regardless of his Hardcore Title runs, he was completely misused..
I just came to see what number sting is.
Malenko basically carried WCW under cards. He was such a work horse, came out got the fans aboard. His matches were phenomenal.
Diamond Dallas Page and Ultimo Dragon deserved so much better. Can't believe WWE was able to mishandle nWo.
There was a quick mention of a guy i thought never got the love he deserved...
Tajiri
He was a great wrestler and had decent gimmicks. Idk why he didnt last and people never seem to talk about him.
i would add Lex Luger too that list, went from WCW champion in 92, joined the WWF too become the narcissist and then being repackaged as the American hero slamming Yokozuna and challenging for the wwe title, but after that apart from being a joint royal rumble winner did next too nothing and ended up in the mid card fueding with Tatanka, went back too WCW on the first monday nitro where he became star again fueding with the nWo and Hollywood Hogan
I disagree to a certain extend. Vince tried to make Lex a Hulk Hogan 2.0 and to push him as the top Babyface of the company. But apart from the physique Vince always favoured, Lex never was the best in cutting promos and in the ring. And so he wasn´t that over to made him that star Vince might had in mind. And don´t forget, it was just one year after the steroid scandal. Maybe another reason Vince hesitated to finish the babyface push and let Lex defeat Yokozuna clean.
DDP is now a 2017 WWE Hall Of Fame.
Vince ruins everyone that he didn't make famous. They are either booked like garbage, or they are given garbage gimmicks that are worked until they somehow become popular. His ego is larger than Hogan's 24" pythons, brother!
Buff Bagwell was terrible. There was nothing Vince could have done with him.
hes def a tag team kinda guy for sure, i enjoy his rasslin
Bagwell still talks about himself as though he was as big of a signing as DDP and Booker T.
Buff was a joke. He had his mother call Jim Ross one time to say he was feeling too sore to come to work lmfao
@@froakiemon9663 I remember hearing about that. It was lame as Hell 🔥!! What grown man 👨 has their mom call-in sick for you ?? Maybe if you're 16 ?? 😆 🤣
What about Kanyon the WWE buried his career he went nowhere in the company and it was mostly out of spite because he was from WCW he was one of the top prospects in wrestling at that time.
Melfice Skye according to kanyon he was fired because he came out as gay he argues about it with ric flair on the howard stern show the video is on youtube
And he was pretty shit
all the WCW wrestlers got screwed by WWE.
Daniel Ness Not all
It took WCW guys longer to get to the top in the WWE, but several guys did it. Jericho for one.
TheSBleeder also booker t made it
@@ralphwiggum1982 Booker T got buried by HHH lol what you talking about
I can't say I disagree with all of this , most is true. Plus like I always said all Vince wanted to do is bury former WCW talent to rebuild them as how he wanted them to be.
Vince Almost Tried To Bury Undertaker Undertaker Wasn't Having None Of It
congrats on 50k dude!
Love your videos, and I especially like the music you use in the background. Do you have access to a music library for these tunes?
Very good list. There also needs to be a part 2 (and maybe 3) as WWE has treated a lot of wrestlers jumping from WCW very badly. Also, I'm surprised that Ernest "The Cat" Miller wasn't on the list. =P
Great video I want a Wrestlelamia podcast !
They should of just kept ddp the same
you forgot to mention what happened with Sting
Christobal Colombo
That was more Sting's fault than the wwe since he waited until he was way past his prime to sign with them now if he had sign back when vince got the rights to wcw than maybe his wwe career wouldn't had end like it did
@@matthewford8977 you know damn well Vince would have never put the WWE title on Sting.
nWo worked in WCW because there was always a shoot element to them. The specter of former WWF guys seemingly coming to WCW to "take over" was really a cool concept. It seemed so real that WWE themselves had their announcers publicly distance the company from any idea that this as the case. In WWE the nWo was fine til AFTER WM18. With the fans essentially turning Hogan face the head was off the snake and it was downhill from there. There was no motivation no purpose for the group anymore.
daaamn, on that video grind b! awesome!
Story I remember about Vader was because Vader never got the big win over Hogsn in WCW that HBK used that to sell Vince that if HBK were seen squashing Vader it would make him more legit and diminishing that if Hogan
I used to love watching Ultimo Dragon and Jushin Thunder Liger.back in the day.
Windham was tag team champion in the WWF in the mid 80's, he wrestled at the first Wrestlemania
Ultimo Dragon is my favourite, wwe used it so bad...
nWo tanked in WWE mainly because WWE had to turn Hogan face and Nash destroyed his knee. :-/
def Sting..i think they shouldve pushed Sean O'Haire dude had everything it took to be a star
VONAFIDE Sean O'Haire went from beating Hulk Hogan,Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero,to beating Funaki every week on Velocity.One of the most underrated wrestlers of all time.
maybe if o'haire didn't get arrested for stalking and beating his ex-girlfriend, he would have been.
Thomas Jenkins I thought that was after he got released?
he had a long list of arrests.
Thomas Jenkins yea cuz all wrestlers never did anything wrong. Austin did the same thing what's ur point?
Great video this one!
These guys should have came when The Invasion first started. nWo sting and Goldberg
awesome video
DDP should be every name on this list. lol.
Sting?
Dickens Tham Yeah.I would agree.Sting should be on this list.
Not really since the wwe had nothing to do with sting's wwe run being a flop
Dickens Tham they fucked him over bad too
Scott McErlean Bury? He finally accepted the biggest opportunity of his career as an old man. HHH-vs-Sting is basically "WWE-vs-WCW for the Attitude Era title" and you know who won that title? The WWE, aka: HHH
Scott McErlean And putting over a new top young talent is not a burial. Getting hurt because you're too old to wrestle is your own fault
Buddy you gotta get the difference between "famous" and "infamous" down. Infamous is being famous for something bad. Famous means famous. Stone colds 3:16 promo is famous, not infamous.
WWE's version of nWo was a disaster. If WWE wanted the arc to work, you had to allow the natural ebb and flow of what the heel stable is to happen. That is that the nWo fancies itself as bigger than wrestling and they need to demonstrate dominance in order to do that. That never really occurred in WWE's lamer than shit version of the faction. I know there were later incarnations of this group with people like Shaun Micheals and whoever, but that was not nWo. I honestly believe that the nWo arc was used when WWE first acquired WCW so that Vince could "squash" it with this tried and true WWE wrestlers. Hence, when the Rock defeated Hogan fair and square at Wrestle-Mania, this was Vince's way of saying, "I win Ted". I also believe this is why Vince kept the famous and revered WCW Championship belt in the WWE for as long as he did because it was essentially the same as when a hunter keeps a mounted head of trophy game on the wall in his rec room. nWo in WCW was more than a heel troupe. They were presented so well early on that they actually had the moniker of an invading force set on bankrupting the company. In WWE, they were just another forgetful, disposable group of bad guys.
Oh, I'm not saying it wasn't a great match and an appropriate finish. I'm just saying that Vince took all of what WCW was when it was beating WWE for about a year and a half, and squashed it in his house by his boys. I interpret it as personal. That's all I'm saying.
I didn't see it myself, but I heard about the WCW champ, Booker T, going face to face in the ring with the Rock shortly after WWE acquired WCW, and the Rock apparently looking at Booker T with a puzzled look on his face and asking Booker, "Who are you?" That sums up Vince's attitude toward WCW to me. It was utter disrespect, and the nWo incarnation was just more of the same.
I liked WM33. Thought it was good, not great. Highlights for me were the Neville-Aries match, the Goldberg-Lesnar match, the ladies matches, and the tag title match.
Low points were Taker-Reigns, Orton-Wyatt, and Cena-Miz.
U?
My thoughts exactly as to the Reigns-Taker match. Much respect to the Taker, but this was a sub-par match for his end and really, I think he should have won his last match ever. And Reigns well, he's so hated. It's kind of mean and sad. It's like, he's not doing anything wrong. He tries. He's got the look that the WWE corporation loves. I think they'd love for him to be the new face of the company. He just doesn't have the charisma or the ability to carry a match like a main-eventer. My opinion has always been that they just tried to give Reigns too much...too soon and the fans rejected it. This is what, his third WM main event in a row? And the heads of WWE just seem incapable of understanding it. He doesn't deserve the fan hate. WWE just needs to find something better to do with him.
Oh and Wyatt, this guy is an awesome monster heel, but it seems like he's just gonna serve the role of a King Kong Bundy or something. Like basically, use him as the metaphorical monster for the latest up-n-coming face to beat at a major event, then move on to something else.
Andy Appleton-nWo was old and past their prime when they hit WWE. Hogan and Nash were injury prone and Hall was an addict and alcoholic.
Andy Appleton that makes sense, especially with the slapping of the WWE logo onto the "World Heavy weight Title" in 2002 😔😡😠
The WWE only cares about money. If they doesn't make you and can't claim your gimmick, you will not be pushed properly.
Liebe eure Videos, schade das es so etwas nicht auf Deutsch gibt, mein English ist nicht soo gut, und mit Untertitel ist es kompliziert zu verfolgen. Great Videos on this Channel thanks
Ric flair 1st run, Sean ohaire, Booker T in the invasion, Jerry Lynn, Mark Jindrak, Chuck Palumbo, Sean Stasiak, Billy Kidman, Perry Saturn, Raven could keep going.
Half of these guys started as WWE guys and only "failed" because they left WWE to join WCW only to come back. That and Vince could hold a grudge like no one else.
To put things in to perspective, if the Hardys came back at that time after their Impact "Broken" run, you can bet Vince would have buried them deeply.
Oh and yes i realize Impact didn't exist at that point.
The whole Ecw roster, except Rvd
thanks for making a video based on my idea
You need to do a part 2.
My understanding is that Vader ruined his career after an incident in Kuwait, as for the NWO all the members were rich and famous do to their time in the WWE, by the time they rejoined the WWE that angle was beyond dead
He ruined his career after Paul Orndorff kicked his A$$. The aura surrounding his toughness completely disappeared with the boys once they learned the beating he took.
WCW RULED.... IT WAS GREAT. BUT THE BLACKER WERE DONE. AND WANTED OUT R THE WCW WOULD HAVE TOOK OVER .... LOOK IT UP ...
In all honest reality Malenko probably is/was the best technically gifted in-ring masters to ever do it.
Mike Awesome, Shannon Moore, Goldberg's first run, Billy Kidman, Lance Storm, Perry Saturn, Public Enemy, PG-13, and Raven should also be added. Yes I realize alot of these guys where in ECW, yet almost everyone from ECW was in WCW or WWE at some point in the 90's to Early 00's.
wut about goldberg
+WRESTELLAMIA You should of got a soundbite of Vader saying I'm just a fat piece of shit jobbing to kane when he was walking out of No Way Out 98 classic😂😂😂 on another note🙏 are with you big man I hope you can pull through this if anyone's tough enough to do it Be Big Van Vader #It'sVadertime
NWO didn't work because Hogan wanted to turn face, Hall had family issues with his ex wife & Vince lying about his work schedule, & Nash tearing his quads was the final blow...and MeekMan wasn't going to let the NWO take over like they did in WCW. Hogan should have held the WWE title while the Outsiders should have held the Tag titles or two mid card titles
what is the background song playing with the killer guitar playing????!
Some WCW talent became successful when jumping ship to the WWE e. g. Ric Flair, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Mick Foley, Chris Jericho, Booker T, William Regal, Big Show, Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio, Gregory Helms/ The Hurricane, AJ Styles, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall.
JackalHavok1992 AJ STYLES didn't work 4 WCW
Robert Miller wrong he was in wcw in last 6 months
lee kesler My bad Idk
Undertaker also
JDB1992 Booker T got buried and AJ styles became big because of his matches in other promotions
Vince had a grudge against Steamboat on account of Steamboat asking for time off to be with his newborn son.
I'm currently a few segments in and I'm thinking if Kidman isn't on this list then throw the entire list away and start over
Pretty much everybody got ruined. Even a talent like The Cat that wasn't ruined still got cut for being a WCW guy. Jim Ross singing that company line. "It's creative, they don't have anything". Bullshit that's what they always say when they pussy out on people. He told Matt Hardy that bullshit too.
Booker T and Sting isnt on this list. wow do a part two.
masky maskface -Booker was World Champ multiple times
I was at the raw where melinko was watching Lita in the shower
Vince buried everyone from WWE except Jehrico
HankBlockOG And booker t
STAND YOUR GROUND!True but Booker T was kept away from the WWE title
james 699 Yup mick Foley, Kevin nash aka Vinny Vegas, Scott hall aka diamond stud.
I think Booker T did pretty well, hell he had Vince do a spinarooni
Booker T had a successful run once all was said and done, so sure he has no regrets for taking the buy out and signing. But he did not get a good booking when he first came during the invasion and languished in the mid card for a long time before proving to WWE he was worthy. And even most of the examples given in the thread are wrestlers who either had minimal impact in WCW before the Monday Night Wars, or ones who spent a lont time proving they could carry the top. And Jerrico and Mysterio... yeah WWE clearly liked them and they were champions... but their championship reign's were hardly the best booked or made them look the best ever.
The victory over WCW has stuck with Vince, even though it could be argued bad management and business decisions had a LOT more to do with them folding than anything Vince actually did. But he "WON" and whether conscious or not he has rarely missed an opportunity to rub it in.
what about ECW wrestlers like tazz
what about me? what about.....
You forgot Sting. The biggest homegrown star in WCW history come to WWE to lose literally every match he wrestled, including putting over HHH at Mania - a match he most certainly should have won.
4:35 Understatement of the year
Dean Malenko, Ultimo Dragon, and Barry Windham. Those all make me sad.
Vader was awesome in WWE. I still remember the 1 Raw when Kane was beating everyone up, then Vader walks in and rolls him.
Theres more than 10. Sting, Goldberg, Booker T, Dusty, Road Warriors, Gregory Helms, Luger, they buried almost everyone else who came from WCW with the exception of a few
ron simmons
And this was the reason why Sting refused to sign with the company, but unfortunately, altho they didn’t ruin him, they just failed him and he deserved much better
How did you keep the number that low?
The funniest thing is that DDP doesn't have any ill will towards Taker or even the WWE as a whole. Just goes to show you the kind of person he is.
Steiner redeemed himself in TNA?
They forgot Lex Luger, Sting and Big Show.
someone that never fails is the legend 27
Mike Rotunda's first and 2nd runs in the WWE were successful than in the NWA/WCW runs for he kept getting repackaged from the Varsity Club to CPT Mike Rotunda and then later as VK Wall Street
I agree with the other comments. I'm not gay but buff bag well was just a good looking guy with a physical attributes. He fuckin sucked at everything though. As a wrestler and charisma on the mic. All he did is flex his muscles. That's it.
What people seem to fail to realize is that anyone who won the Cruiserweight Title in WCW is actually a World Champion.
Was, whatever.
It was the WORLD Cruiserweight Title afterall. Slash Cruiserweight Championship of the WORLD.
Like ufc weight classes.
they need to do they math on sting and ultimate warrior...I wish I cld post the pic wen they were tag team
where Sting?
Whoever decided to put Ricky Steamboat in that ridiculous dragon costume needs to be slapped
Also, off the top of my head, Sting, Kanyon, Raven, Hugh Morris, and Kidman.
Good list but I don't personally agree with Vader or the nWo to the same extent as Mike Awesome, Lance Storm & The Natural Born Thrillers.
If wcw stayed alive I have no doubt in my mind that all of them would have been World Champion at least once.
The list is a pretty good one. But come on. How did Ronnie Garvin get left off this list? Arguably more than anyone he was screwed by the then WWF.
There is no world in which Scott Steiner was ever WCW's most compelling performer.
The Stalker debuted way before survivor series 1996
y'all too focused on wcw because wwe also buried ecw twice and buried both companies with that shit invasion angle
With the exceptions of Hall, Nash and Hogan, all those guys had one thing in common. They were already big stars, many main eventers, when they joined WWF/WWE. Vince's ego wouldn't allow them to succeed, since he didn't make them stars. Hall, Nash and Hogan were all past their prime when they returned to WWE with their NWO gimmick.
How does Dusty Rhodes not make the list?
Dallas Kroyer because by the time he ever made the wwe he was near retirment. the fuck good is he if hes retiring? his run was done.
I think Vince wanted to make all WCW wrestlers no matter what.
Technically Undertaker Came From WCW Before Vince Discovered Him In 1990
wwe finally hunted down goldberg after sting's loss at wwm 2015, the only survivor with his last match back in 2004 wwm20 won and left..
1. Blame Undertaker for burying DDP
2. HBK sabotaged Vader
3. I feel sorry for Buff Bagwell
4. As stated i the video. Steiner was rushed and not allowed to recover from injuries.
5. Fans wanted a face Hogan. Nash injured and Hall had personal problems. Add to the fact that the locker room were full of people that were screwed over buy these gu
6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. Can't argue WWE creative aren't as good as they think they are.
Bonus:
11. Sting - Nobody wanted a HHH feud. Although Sting was a good representative of WCW, HHH didn't really represent WWF in the attitude era. Sting should have faced Undertaker.
12. Booker T - He should of been a top babyface but HHH didn't want to lose to him.
13. Goldberg - He should of wrecked HHH and the Evolution, but again HHH wanted to beat him.
14. Most of the mid-carders from the invasion storyline were also ruined by WWF.
Exactly. WCW is dead and wrestling is doomed unless AEW becomes the new WCW.
How The Actual Fuck Can You Blame Undertaker If Anyone Vince McMahon Is At Fault For That Not Undertaker
if Vince had used these guys right they could've been big in the WWF/WWE and I had hoped Vader would've been a WWF champion as he could've been a good heel champion
What about Juventud Guerrera and Psicosis?
Why in the hell isn't Sting on this list?
I did feel sorry for those WCW wrestlers who didn't get signed after WCW closed. But going through the Invasion storyline and after the storyline, I'm glad they didn't get signed. WWE would've ruined them too!
What about Raven?
He was established in ECW. Not WCW. But I agree with others when they say raven was misused.
