10 Wrestlers Who Hated Working For WCW

[@thesoup7526]

How is Raven not on this list! He literally took up WCW on an offer to quit if he didn’t want to be there anymore during a talent meeting! He was happier taking less money in ECW during it’s dying breath than having to work in WCW anymore.

[@ainadupuis2651]

ECW version of Raven is the best yo.😊

[@zacharythomason7359]

@odessa 14 Totally Awesome

[@Thor-Orion]

odessa 14 no, wwf really didn’t like Scott Levy, he was good everywhere else. It wasn’t Raven’s fault, but his time in the fed was bad.

[@ColonelCarnage]

Ravens time in wcw doesn’t come close to how badly he was treated in wwf

[@egpmh2891]

I guessed Raven, Benoit, Guererro, Saturn, Jericho, Mysterio, Hart, Muta, all Luchadores, and all lighter wrestlers

[@mycahjofficial]

*Not surprised that Bret Hart on this list. It makes a lot of sense because the way how the company horribly utilized him. It was probably Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan and sabotaging him.*

[@gdn2705]

Hogan tried to sabotage Bret's push in the WWF so it wouldn't surprise me at all if he did do the same thing in WCW.

[@claybfx]

It also makes sense because he's a bitter old man

[@Thor-Orion]

GDN270 i think it’s pretty well established that Hogan only ever saw wcw as an atm. The only question is if Vince sent Hogan to wcw to destroy them from the inside

[@funky-puppet]

[@williamarchibald1378]

WCW can't be totally blamed for Bret Hart's lack of success in the company. Hart was a shelf of his former self when he got there. He would showed like 30 mins before showtime and really didn't put in his best efforts while wrestling for Turner. In his autobiography, Bret even stated he just wanted to show up and do his job and that was it. After Montreal and then his brother's death, he no longer had a stomach for the business as he said in his book My Life In The Cartoon World Of Wrestling.

[@shawng1541]

The stuff about Bobby being let go due to being old may not be true. JR has said that when Mean Gene's contract was coming up, Vince said to JR he was going to help Gene by not offering a new contract so that WCW would think they were "stealing" Gene from WWF by offering a bigger payday than Vince could offer. It's not a stretch to guess that Vince may have done the same with Heenan.

[@gfear24]

Heenan loved some of the Cruiserweight matches and he loved Goldberg. That was it.

[@markv1274]

Bobby Heenan was a big fan of Booker T. The thing about Heenan is it was usually rather obvious which wrestlers he thought had value. Additionally, Heenan had respect for the Japanese women and women's wrestling in general, plus he liked a number of the Japanese men who were in WCW. I'll never know why they didn't make Heenan a booker.

Simon needs to get 1 fact straight, yes that kick concussed Brett Hart, but what retired him was working that match with Terry Funk and taking a heavy head shot whilst still recovering from a concussion.. Don't take everything that's said in comments and by Brett Hart as fact. He blames Goldberg, because it's easier to pass blame than take responsibility for a poor decision to work a match with Terry Funk and taking a heavy head shot whilst concussed. I like Brett Hart, but in his bitter Brett day's he blames everyone else. Even his good friend Taker had to tell at him once when he didn't want to do a work with Diesel as he thought he would look beat. Taker screamed at him "it's not always about you" Good wrestler, could do a promo but parts of his personality are selfish and dog shit. Cheated on his wife constantly.. respect the wrestler but not the man outside of the ring.
