WHo shouldn't have ben pushed?
I personally never liked DDP....should have always been a midcarder......
-
That's EXACTLY who I thought of FIRST!!
He was a very close friend of Bischoff's.

Goldberg

1) Hogan
2) Goldberg

Heres a HUGE one.
Ultimate Warrior!

Whatever Nash had/did, it worked, and it got him over in the beginning of one of pro-wrestling’s hottest angles in history.
There’s still conflicting accounts of how much power he later had as booker.
Regardless of who booked what and when, Nash was just another of many victims of lame-ass angles that were forced on everybody in the company during that time.
________________________ _________________
Ultimate Warrior had potential - primarily the look that gave Vince instant wood.
UW’s problem was that he thought he was too good for the business and refused to learn and improve.
His ego finally got in the way of business, and the biggest fortune he made in the industry was when he sued Vince over his character’s name & likeness.

Hogan was the right gimmick in the right place at the right time.
He and the old man capitalized on that.
Vince had the vision…Hogan delivered the goods.
Sure, it disgusted some of the purists, but purists make up a very small percentage of a billion-dollar mainstream fan base.
________________________ _______________________
Goldberg was pushed too much, too soon.
He may have been the greenest champion in a major company - hurting other guys AND himself.
Once he became a “Rock Star,” nobody dared tell him anything.
They just all tied their assholes in knots to please him & kiss his ass, and that’s why Bill never got better.

I agree with Nash, he's so fucking annoying, acting like the godfather of wrestling, he got big in the early 90's and
he's trying to sound like he had Hogan like influence and draw, give me a break! every interview I've seen of him I just want to knock the guy out he's got his head so far up his own ass it's ridiculous
-
All decent choices. I think if Warrior's Ego didnt get in the way he could have been as big as Hogan.
I remember reading that when they were looking at the "saving grace" back in 83, it was Hogan and someone else (cant remember who)..anyone remember who this other person was...
Also Jack Swagger, pushed him too fast but of course he crashed and burned

Iceman King Parsons :D

Any "diva search" winner or contestant.

A true tidbit....
DDP was and is a close personal friend of Eric Bishoff. He was making 900,000 dollars a year on pen and paper to hide his true salary....he was really making 1,500,000 per yr.

Not to mention what his old lady was making.

I always liked DDP. A guy who worked hard and had a connection with the crowd that few did.

He was one of the hardest workers and a good heel in WCW post 1996. However I don't think he should have gotten paid 1.5mil per year. No way Jose.
-
When he was making his title run, he was about as over as anyone I ever saw.

Your joking, right? Edge was one of the best heels between 2005-2008

I remember edge as a poor mans Shawn Michaels. Never as good though..In my opinion
-
Edge saved Smackdown form extinction.

That statement just reminded me of the Zbyszko vs Bischoff match for Nitro, brilliant end to the match

I'm gonna say the "Miz". What ever happend to Daniel Puter the guy who won that first tuff enuff contest anyways ?

any wrestler that uses a guitar as part of their gimmick.

true...but a lot of people in WCW were making way more than they should have.

That was one of their MANY problems.

They were but then again WCW could easily afford it. They were making ten times more in the TV turnaround payouts especially when they were dominating the ratings. That's why so many people jumped ship to WCW back in the day.

WCW was just trying to sign-up all the talent without any sense of what to do with them once they did sign them. There were so many thrown together angles, never ending storylines, etc... it was pathetic.

Vince kind of got a taste of his own medicine in terms of his acquisition of talent from all the other territories in the 80's.
The difference is: Vince built new stars to fill the void created by the departure of his bigger names.
His competition in the 80's just more or less gave up & died.
Good idea! :-\

He sure did. As it was happening and as the WWF was floundering, I found it funny. He was whining about talent leaving after he squeezed out all the territories. Sadly, WCW being incompetent was a much bigger factor in the WWF surviving than anything VKM did. I would have been so happy to see him fade into oblivion..... :-\

But, then we wouldn't have "The Miz."
Don't be so short-sighted...

Scott Steiner commented once that they had so much talent backstage at both Nitro & Thunder that half the roster was getting paid to show up to work and not be used. If they had the right wrestling people back stage, they could have set out 3 different house show crews just like Vince did in the late eighties and they could have made a killing. Again, poor non-wrestling suit and ties / Turner lackies that did this.
