10 WCW Wrestlers Who Should Have Been Bigger Stars

[@TheForeverRanger]

Kanyon's spirit lives on in his good friend, Brian Cage who actually did don the Mortis gimmick while Chris was thinking about coming back.

[@bwestacado9643]

Mortis was one of my favorite gimmicks. I am a gaming nerd, so him and Glacier had me lol. Kanyon was fun to watch

[@bigmike2464]

I had the pleasure of meeting Kanyon when he was still mortis in WCW. One night in Dayton when he was with Clark(( Wrath)). Both nice guys, and Kanyon was nice and buzzed on Crown and Coke

[@sohambanerjee417]

Perry Saturn is such a great pick! He had one of the best movesets, could work any style and had underrated charisma. It's a damn tragedy how life worked out for him but he is definitely a legend in every way!

This list is 10 guys. It easily could be 20 guys. It maybe could even go 30 guys. Imagine an entire royal rumble worth of guys that WCW dropped the ball on.

[@straingedays]

Oct.2000: I will never forget the end of wCw Thunder in Melbourne, Australia. Awesome won the Royal Rumble to become #1 contender for the Heavyweight World Title. As he celebrated, Goldberg entered the ring to do a "stare down" ...but the chants of Goldberg, Goldberg, switched to, Awesome, Awesome... Goldberg pointed at Awesome and gestured as if to say, the fans are right... Goldberg left the ring as the 10,000+ sell out crowd continued chanting Awesome. He looked so happy, the show closed with him alone in the ring, but the live event ended with him turning to the crowd before going backstage, as everyone was still chanting Awesome, Awwesome, Awwwesome!!

[@creoleDJ]

Honorable mention should go to Stevie Ray. Yeah, yeah, I know he was a big star with Harlem Heat but his singles run should’ve been much better than it was..

The Dark Side of the Ring on Kanyon said it all. Mental health is THE most important thing, don't ever forget that.

[@Sphat90]

Crowbar was in WWE for a bit in 2003, he had a few matches on Velocity. He was never going to get much of a push though. Also it is worth noting Blitzkrieg started his career teaming with Super Dragon (even having some dark matches), but WCW passed on Dragon so they split. That would've been a great team if they'd kept them.

I was just randomly thinking about Norman Smiley the other day. I had no idea he was British, or had completely forgotten about it either way. Makes a lot of sense in hindsight.

Jesus Christ !!! thankfully you wasn’t booking or wcw would’ve went out of business a lot earlier ...I think it’s soooooooooo hilarious that across the pond they just don’t understand “sports entertainment “ lol being technically sound does not equal money ...this is the wrestling “business “ where the object is to make money lmao sell tickets merch etc characters draw money not technical wrestling n gymnastic flip guys ...I hate to keep making this point ..but I wonder why there’s never been a global U.K promotion ??? O yea because they don’t get it lmao just imagine seeing The Rock as the world champion one show then flipping the channel and the world champion is lance “dry as wheat toast no charisma having ass” storm as the competitors champion lmao 😂 🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣 easily the funniest fucking thing I’ve ever heard of in my entire life

Wrath Konnan Saturn Kanyon Sean O'Haire Vampiro Jindrak Alex Wright Elix Skipper Sick Boy

Let's face it - you could basically just name the entire cruiserweight division. They were the actual highlights of most WCW PPVs, but they kept being booked as the undercard. Also about Alex Wright - that Berlyn gimmick was just horribly bad. He looked ridiculous, the name "the Wall" was deemed very inapprobiate here in Germany as the gimmick was just a few years after Germanies reunification and the entire thing was just way too obviously something he did because somebody told him to instead of something being natural to him.

Wrath had a cool theme song at least

[@anthonyhardy2946]

He was a beast in 98

[@trystinlindsay5674]

Jindrak, OHaire, Palumbo, and Stasiak all could have been the faces of wrestling for the next 10 years

"WCW's mid-card was typically filled with mask wearing high flyers from Mexico." While showing a picture of Sunny Oh No and Ultimo Dragon...........

[@gravecruiser5062]

Saturn killed his own push, kicked the shit out of his opponent for real during his match. After that he was pretty much done. Then shifted to a trainer. Then he spiraled down a bad path

[@freedomfaction100]

Sean O'Haire was wasted by both WCW and WWE. He should be mentioned.

[@davidlewis5312]

I find the saturn entry interesting because if he thought he was treated badly in WCW wait til you get to the whacky land of McMahon

[@mrbransformer4184]

Alex Wright was great! He was one of my favs during the Monday night wars.

[@rayejohn79rj11]

Wrath turned into Adam Bomb 💣 which was a huge turn around

[@edstone9890]
