Yeah! People pretend they liked Dean Malenkos style now, because it's the "in" thing to be into small technical wrestlers, but people who are old af like me remember the only cruiserweights in wcw people gave a shit about were jericho, kidman, the Mexicans and Japanese wrestlers. Ultimo Dragon was my personal favourite along with La Parka. Dean Malenko was around 15 years too early. Today where people get hard for PWG dance routines they'd love him, but when he was around he was never entertaing and never would have been a draw back then even with a major push.

All three were established stars well before they went to the WWE. Ray was with WCW until the very end. He and all the rest of the cruiserweights have never had the same kind of exposure and push that they got on Nitro. Every single show they were featured prominently and had some of the best matches in the history of the industry. Vince and the WWE have always preferred bigger wrestlers and have favoured them over the smaller guys. Those three would never have even been given a chance to shine in the WWE had they not already been developed into stars by WCW.

So except for Bagwell and possibly Luger (who could be a great heel if used properly), the story is: great wrestler goes to WWF, which doesn't care about wrestling, and can't get over because Vince doesn't give a damn about wrestling, only "sportz entertainment." That's why I stopped watching WWE almost a decade ago. I still watch wrestling, but don't miss whatever it is Hunter and Vince are doing.

Now I like HBK as much as the next person, but what is the benefit of glossing over the sins of past, especially when even Shawn himself is so willing to cop to them? It's not like you guys have a working relationship with the man to protect. Sack up and drop the sugarcoating and the innuendos. Big fan of the channel, tough love...

It's strangely ironic that out of all the Radicalz, Dean Malenko was the one who lasted the longest in WWE. Eddie Guerrero died and got inducted into the Hall Of Fame, Chris Benoit died and was never spoken of again for obvious reason, and Perry Saturn seemed to vanish off the face of the Earth.

I would like to bring clarity to the reference “adding the word new” does not translate into success. He was speaking of adding the word “New” in front of an old gimmick that previously worked. Jim Cornet was smart enough to realize and use the word “original” Midnight Express. I do not think he was referring to word “New” on a fresh gimmick. It’s sad the poor writing, expensive gimmicks and selfish direction eventually took the WCW down.

I think Vader's downfall began with that horrible politician Hogan coming to WCW and then accelerated in the WWE.

Let's see 1) Kanyon was just given the US Title he didn't ever win it. Shane told Booker T to give him the title for being the Alliance MVP. 2) A lot of these guys didn't live up to their potential. As Vince said "I give opportunities." He hopes that the ppl he signs will "get over" it isn't on Vince it is the talent's job. 3) He being Vince didn't buy WCW to bury it. He bought it because he wanted to one day create a library for sone of the greatest matches ever seen. We wouldn't have War Games in NXT or Clash of The Champions or Starcade or the ability to learn about some of the greatest champions of the past. 4) Vader was extremely out of shape and injured throughout his run. J.R. tried to help him but Vader didn't want to listen. J.R. had seen what can happen with Andre and didn't want it to happen to Vader or Yokozuna. Did Shawn cause problems...hell yes. He was well an arrogant P.O.S. or as he said "a hand-full" Shawn had the weight of the company on his shoulders during that time also NWO ring a bell? Vader was a little arrogant and believed his own hype. Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff helped kinda cure that with a butt kicking while wearing shower shoes. Just saying.

Pretending that Vince somehow bought WCW out of generosity to wrestling fans so we could have the honour of having to fork out cash to watch a show that WWE had no part in producing is stretching just a little. Streaming services weren't a thing back in 2001. Vince bought WCW to put it out of business so he could monopolize the industry. That's it. What's more, it was sold off for no good reason for far less than it was actually worth. WCW never failed, it was killed by TimeWarner when they sold it to Vince, who promptly buried it. Nitro in 2001 was still pulling ratings of over 2.0 - Raw today in 2022 is lucky if they get 0.5. Same with Dynamite on the very same networks WCW used to be on.

I think WWE did not know how to use Ultimo Dragon. Again, this should not be the wrestler's fault. As for Barry Windham, he had a successful run in WWF before he went to WCW. He and Mike Rotunda were the Tag champs and had a good run in the early 80's.

Vader needed surgery when he came to WWE, and after being promised the time off to heal and regain strength, was rushed back way before he was ready, he couldn’t perform to the same levels. His booking was appalling though and an insult to a man of his talent.

Storm was a contender in ECW and WCW. WWE failed him. If not for Stone Cold, he would be remembered as one of the greats. The "boring" storyline was meant to usher in personality changes. People forget he did a segment in Golddust makeup to get more personality and then was rumored to have a huge dick in a bunch of segments with Val Venis. Then the storyline and push was dropped abruptly. WWE didn't follow-through with the story they set up for him.

Ok STOP! Dean Malenko was not over in wcw. People didn't care about technical hipster wrestling like they do today. People only cared about jericho, the Mexicans and Japanese in wcw cruiserweight division. He was boring AF to watch. I'm not saying people can't appreciate it now, but don't pretend that in the Monday night wars/attitude era, that people cared about Dean Malenkos wrestling, because they didn't.

It is well known fact that it was DDP who was originally booked to feud with The Rock during Invasion as his WCW character was much closer to The Rock's then Booker T's who ended up doing it. For God knows what rason, they went with Booker T and ruined a potentially perfect feud. Only things The Rock and DDP ever had in common is SIMILAR but NOT THE SAME finishing move.
