wwf to wcw

[MikeCampbell]

What about the nasty boys were they in wcw first

Yes. They went from WCW -> WWF -> WCW in a relatively short time

 

Their most famous WCW match from their first run was the Steiners match at Halloween Havoc '90, and they were in the WWF by the the time of the '91 Royal Rumble. They pretty much dropped off the map after 1992, and showed up in WCW in the summer of '93.

Jonny Polo (via ECW) to Raven in WCW.

That's a massive stretch. He got over in ECW. He was in WCW as Johnny Flamingo before he went to WWF.

 

So? He was still a bigger star in WCW (1997 / 1998) than he had been in WWE either previously or subsequently.

I guess, but he was a star on the back of ECW and the Raven character. WCW didn't make him a star. He was a star the moment he showed up.

 

I took the thread topic to be people who didn't do anything in WWF and WCW made stars out of. And this thread is proving that WCW completely failed at ever doing that.

I never said they did, and alluded to the fact he found the character in ECW. That said, WCW still utilised him better than WWE, thus making him a bigger star. Raven was on the cover of WCW video games back in 1998 with Hogan and Goldberg...

Most of these feel like a cheat. However, if you never use the competed in WCW/NWA (starting with Starrcade 83) line, these are the names I came up with.

 

1. Dustin Rhodes - this is a little bit of a stretch but he was involved in a pretty high profile angle in WWF before they let him and Dusty go out to pasture

2. Butch Reed - This is a weird one as well since Mid South is probably his #1 but I would put up his Doom run above his run in WWF as the Natural

3. Paul Roma - Talk about damning with faint praise but being the worst Horseman ever and teaming with Arn/Orndorff gave him a better sustained run that what he did with Power & Glory

 

I didn't include Cactus since he only did some jobber matches.

[vicious&delicious]

Is the answer Wrath?

[Yo-Yo's Roomie]

He was in WCW first.

[Bob Morris]

He was in WCW first.

Well, kind of.

 

I believe he first showed up in WCW under the Nightstalker gimmick, then went to WWF as Adam Bomb, before going back to WCW as Wrath.

 

Wrath was arguably his most successful gimmick.

Vince Russo?

[vannaboy]

Vince Russo?

Ha he was world champ.

[Mad Dog]

DDP

Konnan

[jeffersonlake]

Vince Russo?

Ha he was world champ.

 

 

Indeed. And as far as I know, he never held any WWF championship gold.

[Matt D]

DDP

[Mad Dog]

Yeah, kind of a technicality but he was there for one show.

[soup23]

Thought about DDP but much like the Mick Foley rule, I didn't include him.
