For a long time, I never realized that Brother Bruti was The Disciple since the sunglasses and facial hair disguised him. Warrior's comment about him being Hogan's barber was a dead giveaway, though. As for Jannetty, his biggest contribution to WCW, imo, was being defeated by Jericho before the future Y2J decided to read off his list of 1,004 holds.

I’d make a big case that Madusa deserves a spot on this list. For as famous as she disposed of the title, exclaiming WCW was where the real women played. As such, she got pitted into a rivalry where she was never able to win the Women’s Title, which was only held by one person: Akira Hokuto. Where their feud ended with Madusa being forced to “retire” and then being relegated to nothing more than a glorified valet for the rest of her run in the company. Of course, WCW was the absolute worst promotion for women wrestlers as they clearly showed they had no idea how to build them as performers or write them into the show.

Bret Hart was also a three time US Champion, all won in 1998, and a one time WCW World Heavyweight Champion, besides his Tag Team title reign with Goldberg. But he was right from the beginning. The only reason he flopped in WCW was because WCW had only one single use for him - to rub it in Vince's face that they got him after Montreal Screwjob. After the fuss over Montreal went mostly forgotten after few months, Hart was stuck in WCW with neither side having any real plans.

@@Quartzquiz333 Yes, but I still wouldnt call his run in WCW as a total failure. I think he was a pretty underrated as a heel manager tbh.
