Wcw stars that had better careers in the E

[Juice]

After the purchase of wcw that is.

Arguements are often made about Vince and company dumping on WCW every chance they could get, but invasion and post invasion WCW mid carders were given a lot. Jindrak was almost Randy Orton in Evolution and still had the reflection of perfection, sean O'haire had the devils advocate gimmick he messed up and was then paired with Piper. Chuck Palumbo had several gimmicks from Billy and Chuck to Biker with Mccool to FBI. Stamboli had fbi. The Radicalz all had good to hof worthy careers same with Chavo and Rey and Booker. Hell Bill Demott, Kidmanand Shannon Moore and Hurricane all had various levels pf success.

For every Ddp or Goldberg there was a lot of guys who had better careers after the buy out

Sugar Shane Helms turned into the Hurricane and got a mini-feud with The Rock.

Wasnt Chris before the Purchase

Do you just mean people that were brought in with the purchase? If so of that group I would say Chavo. He had a really long run and won a lot of championships, including the ECW title. He won a few titles in WCW but when you compare it to his WWE run I think he did way better for himself in WWE.

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

I think the more interesting list is guys that WCW booked better.

It's not a long list, but there are some - Kevin Nash was a shit draw in WWF, WCW made him a household name by wrestling standards; Scott Hall never even got more than a cup of coffee as the guy who has to draw money in WWF but same as Nash in WCW; Goldberg was booked amazingly in WCW for about 18 months, which is also about 18 months longer than WWE booked him well; then weirdly there is Lance Storm, who in WCW had the 'serious' gimmick done right (serious guy, great in the ring) and got over, won three belts and genuinely created a new catchphrase in a creative drought in that company.

You might want to make after the purchase a bigger font. People are only going to see title and react

[SHAKEMASTER TV9 is Don Knotts]

Gregory Helms

Jamie Noble maybe if you count post-retirement career as a producer. Maybe even without that it's at least equal to being a Jung Dragon.

Chuck Palumbo, Chavo Guerrero, Grergory Helms, Goldberg if you count his squash of Lesnar

It's a huge f***ing loophole but

AJ Styles


He was with WCW during its dying days. Didn't get signed until after WWE bought WCW. Is definitely better booked in WWE than he was in WCW

[HisRoyalGreeness]

I'd say Booker T. Granted he was highly decorated in WCW having won every title multiple times. However, it was in WWE that he truly got to showcase his range. While his WCW run made him a star, his WWE run made him a Hall of Famer.

I'd say he was at least equally well booked in WWE. Stacy Kiebler and Torrie Wilson also weren't booked any worse by WWE than they were WCW.

Rey Mysterio was a big star in WCW but was never a main eventer. That didn't happen until he came to WWE.

No. There is no argument to make for Goldberg having a better career in the E than he did in WCW. He was arguably the hottest name in the entire industry for at least a short period of time and the entire show (even during the NWO nonsense) was largely built around him. Squashing one guy at age 50 and 2 years in the E is not comparable. He was THE guy for a period of time in WCW. They ruined him by having him lose to Nash and then turning him heel.

[BlackoutCreature]

I don't know if he was still with WCW when it was purchased, but I always felt Scott Norton could've had a decent WWF/E run if he had jumped ship. I could see him settling into a role similar to what Finlay eventually had.

Aj Styles is the copout and correct answer

I came here to say this damn it lol

[britishbulldog]

Benoit. He was always featured in wcw but I think he was a much bigger start with wwf/wwe.

[Pooh Carlson]

I'd have to go with Rey.
