There's some heat matches floating around Youtube.

In fact IMHO the best thing Sting has ever done is not join the WWE. Kendo Nagasaki was great too (I remember him from the early 80s)

Who knows, maybe I'm wrong. For what it's worth, Samoa Joe did have a short stint in the WWF some years ago. There's some heat matches floating around Youtube.

Who knows, maybe I'm wrong. yeah, joe was never signed, he just had that try out match on jakked, and honestly he wouldnt fit in in the wwe anyway hes way too small to be the mosnter hes portrayed as in tna, he'd probably get laughed at sting doesnt need wwe validation as tarheelfan said, but there are some dream matches id love to see from him there as for the rest, who? i think youre using the terms star and especially 'legend' too losely, they may be local legends to you but how many people outside the uk have heard of them?

In retrospect it may be better that he was not in the WWE because they would have turned his intense serious type gimmick into a cartoon like gimmick.

I would legit say that if you were to ask any nonwrestling fan adult to name a wrestler, if he doesnt say hulk hogan he will name big daddy. The guy was super over back in the day

The guy was super over back in the day From what I remember of Big Daddy, he was on par with Great Khali talent wise! Had his brother not been running the show, I highly doubt he would be so revered.

talent or not, the guy was huge. His name is still synonimus with wrestling to millions of people who grew up with world of sport, and i would put him up with hogan on level of fame in england (if you ask the over 3os)
