Yeah, I have to say that this list is severely lacking some of the more truly marginal WCW workers, while shortchanging some halfway decent workers like Lash. As others have said, where's Buzzkill, Roadblock, Ice Train, or the Renegade Warriors? Or Hercules Hernandez under a hood as the Super Destroyer? And if they're intent upon ripping Darsow and Brutus for their crappy gimmicks, then why leave out Ray Traylor as the Guardian Angel?

Lash Leroux on this list is the worst offender to me. Loved that guy. And yeah, I'll side with everyone else here who has no recollection of PG-13 in WCW. I BARELY remember Disorderly Conduct, to the point of not even being able to name either individual, but I still do remember them. Was Disorderly Conduct, Mean Mike and Tough Tom or something like that? I thought that they were just Saturday Night jobbers. Yup, and they were so forgettable they don't even have their own page on OWW. As I recall, they usedta pull double duty by wrestling as Disorderly Conduct, then donning masks and competing as the Texas Hangmen. Although that might've just been Mean Mike and Bull Pain, now that I look it up. Its like a list of some awesome gimmicks with some forgettable people thrown in. Berlyn was always a favorite and in sim games, I'd always have him as a World champion. Yeah, what happened with that character? Besides Columbine, that is.

Yeah most of these gimmicks weren't forgettable at all!
Disorderly Conduct is the only one I don't remember.
Most of these make me shake my head, but putting Dave Sullivan on that list is absolutely criminal.

Three Count wasn't forgettable, that was a genius heel gimmick, and really contemporary. I know people think Russo killed a lot of stuff by trying to be current, but that was a heat MAGNET for people of my generation. I loved to see 3 Count get their ass kicked.
LENNY AND LODI!
Pepe the horse led to one of Chavo's most amazing moments - holding a super-soaker and shaving his own head.
Also, I had no idea how ripped Ed Leslie was as The Disciple, dude looked incredible.

Yeah Pepe was the MOST memorable thing of Chavo's entire WCW run. The angle where he was constantly berated by Uncle Eddie is the only thing that comes close. This list is so absurd.

Disco Inferno? I call bull on that. Vince was just pissy that he didn't come up with such an outstanding gimmick first.

Yeah, what happened with that character? Besides Columbine, that is. Russo happened. Berlyn was one of the last acts to debut under the prior regime, and Russo didn't seem to have the same level of interest in Berlyn or Alex Wright than whoever was running WCW before him (Sullivan?).

So...this list should have been names "wrestlers we didn't like for God knows what reason!" as opposed to forgettable competitors. I remember 3/4 of the damned list and haven't had access to much WCW since I was 11 years old.

Glacier isn't forgettable, he had build for over half a year no one could possibly forget him.

Wasn't Alex Wright injured shortly after it debuted as well?

Disco Inferno was and always will be my favorite WCW Wrestler.
I don't know exactly why but every time he came onto my screen I would fall into uncontrollable bits of laughter. I still remember when he would have to cut weight to get into Cruiserweight Title matches and come out all sweaty and exhausted from working on the bike in the back.

Saw Disco workin the door at a strip club in Vegas! I couldn't stop laughing!

The list needs more
- Men At Work - Colossal Kongs - Sgt. Craig Pitbull Pittman - Super Invader - ANYTHING Brad Armstrong came up with - Maxx Muscle - Big Josh (even though I LOVED the guy) - Jerry Flynn - Maxx Payne - The Equalizer - Braun The Leprechaun - State Patrol - The AWESOME Gambler - Black Blood - TAFKAPI (debatable) - High Voltage - The Juicer - Vinny Vegas (might as well get ALL his gimmics) - Big Sky - Hardbody Harrison - Lasertron - Ranger Ross - Frankie Lancaster - Scotty Flamingo (if they want to rip on past WWE workers) - PN News (DEFINITELY debatable) - The Dragon Master - Reese - The Southern Boys / Young Pistols - M I Smooth or whatever Ice Train's new name was - The Hardliners (Slater and Murdock's tag team) - Plus the ones already said by others (Roadblock, Cobra etc...)
There, I just came up with a better list off the top of my head in 4 minutes... although I rarely forget workers for some reason. -

Glacier was very over as was Mortis (Chris Kanyon, or "Green Ninja with Skull Face).
ANd they are really gonna crap on PG-13? Did they forget who brought them in first? Clue WWE.COM on on where PG-13 got their mainstream start. USWA to WWF to WCW.
Well done WWE, crap on YOUR creation. Phenomenal.

Yeah, I remember all of these other than Steel. Even Disorderly Conduct, because I loved WCW's Saturday Night show. There was never anything better on in that timeslot.
So, fail.

If this list was the other way around it would have Val Venis, Goldust, Papa Shango, Kama, and the Godfather on it. Oh and Moppy.
