Shocked nobody said The Big Show yet, he's definitely one of the wrestlers who can say he had a Hall of Fame career in WCW AND WWF/E Big Show came along before WCW's acquisition by WWF, so he's in that Jericho and Eddie category.

He never was a huge star, but I thought Chuck Palumbo in Billy & Chuck worked way better than anything WCW had done with him.

Torrie Wilson Stacy Keibler Booker T
Shane Helms wouldn't have been but once he became The Hurricane he was.

Sean O’Haire should have been a big star in WWE... But I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know.

Sometimes literally in Big Show's case. Can the statues depict them turning heel on someone?

I feel the biggest pushes went to Booker T, Hurricane, Torrie and Stacy. As soon as the Invasion was over they felt like WWF stars anyways at that stage, everyone else had to reset and reintergrate

I’m gonna say Flair. His WWE run was better than at least his last five years in WCW.

For someone who didn't do much of anything in WCW, Chavo had a pretty good WWE run. Especially his tag team with Eddie.

Would AJ Styles count or no You think of WCW when you think of AJ Styles? Yeah he counts. I figured most people think of him as a TNA guy though or even NJPW. NWA:Wildside4Life!

I'll throw an odd one out, Kanyon.
He worked his butt off in matches for the company and whenever he was given the slightest bit of mic time I felt he knocked it out of the park. He really did fit the model of what WWE likes in a wrestler.
But he never really managed to wash the "WCW stink" (in WWE's eyes) off of him the way guys like Helms and Storm, and Booker did so he never amounted to much.

I didnt watch in 2001 but it seemed he was doing alright in fitting in from what I have seen. That long injury really seemed to derail him and they had no interest in him when he was healthy again.

On a side note, WWE were teasing him bringing back his Mortis gimmick right before he was fired which I thought would have been odd. They teased it in an issue of Smackdown magazine and he wrestled as Mortis at a few house shows.

Lance Storm? are you kidding, they did nothing with him. all I remember was Austin calling him boring and that was it for him. look at how his act was over in WCW with Team Canada. One more year and he may have graduated to WCW Champ You're glossing over an entire year though, one where Lance lead the Unamericans stable, which was pretty damn hated and controversial for as short-lived as it was. It also puts him in a pretty elite group of talent, those that have taken a title from Hulk Hogan. Did Storm the tag titles from Hogan and Edge?
