Others have since mentioned Dusty. It was an oversight on my part - I’ll replace him for Luger. Was Dusty still wrestling when they changed to WCW. I could swear it's when Dustin's career started. Dustin's career started in 1988, went to WCW (which had *just* become WCW and where Dusty was still an active wrestler) for the first time in December of that year and stayed until February of the following year. Dusty stayed with WCW as a wrestler for a few months after that before defecting to WWF. Dustin spent almost a year working Japan and Memphis until showing up in the WWF in September 1990, where he teamed with Dusty until both left in January 1991. Both he and Dusty came back to WCW the following month, with Dustin on the active roster and Dusty quietly retiring from in-ring duty to take the booking position. |

Is the Mt. Rushmore of WCW being carved in west Texas? If so: Curt Hennig, Barry Windham, Kendall Windham and Bobby Duncum, Jr.. It's funny that Barry Windham doesn't get more mention. He is a former WCW champion and was also a member of the Horseman stable too. |

He held the NWA title at the very end of WCW's relationship with the NWA, but it was treated as a secondary title by that point. |

If we are going 88 on Dusty wasn't that active under the WCW banner. For me WCW from 88 on. Sting, Flair, Hogan, and Luger or Arn. The first 3 is no brainers as for a having long impact in WCW success. Arn and Luger where a part of the orginal foundation of WCW and had a lot of success. Now the NWA: Flair, Dusty, Race, and Steamboat is it for me. But even that is a case where you have guys like Lou Thez

Now the NWA: Flair, Dusty, Race, and Steamboat is it for me. But even that is a case where you have guys like Lou Thez The problem, and one people often fail to consider, is that the NWA was not a promotion of its own and isn't the same thing as JCP (Jim Crockett Promotions). Opening up the question to the entirety of the NWA entity brings up a large number of contenders for this theoretical Rushmore that outdistance the efforts someone like Steamboat. You would have to include not only all of the pre- and proto-territory top guys like Thesz, Hutton, O'Connor, even Rikidozan, but also the major workers from all of the NWA territories like the Von Erichs, Jack Brisco, Dory Funk Jr, Gagne, etc. On the flipside, Containing the question to strictly JCP would pretty much disqualify someone like Race. As the NWA traveling champ, Harley rarely worked the territory, coming in sometimes maybe three or four one-shots a year, sometimes just once a year but for one two-week long tour putting over the local top guy around the circuit. More of Harley's contributions to the NWA occurred in territories like St. Louis and Florida than ever happened in Mid-Atlantic/JCP. |

It's funny that Barry Windham doesn't get more mention. He is a former WCW champion and was also a member of the Horseman stable too. Windham was never WCW champ. He held the NWA title at the very end of WCW's relationship with the NWA, but it was treated as a secondary title by that point. I was actually thinking about making a thread about this. Was there any reason why Crockett never went with Windham as the top guy? I thought he was really over in 87 having the hour draws with Flair, and could have at least been worth a try after losing Magnum. I know a lot of people like his heel run in the Horsemen (me included), but I don't know, I think there was legs in a Windham babyface run. |

Brother Bruti, The Butcher, The Zodiac, The Booty Man Two things: I would take an annual pilgrimage. I would do a Kickstarter to have a statue of The Disciple erected on site. I'd pay for it myself if I had to. |

He held the NWA title at the very end of WCW's relationship with the NWA, but it was treated as a secondary title by that point. As a kid I thought the NWA belt was much more prestigious than the WCW belt. When I saw Barry v. Arn at Slamboree that was the main event in my mind. I thought it was odd Vader and Bulldog went on last but I figured WCW just put it on last since Bulldog was a newcomer. When Flair beat Barry at the Bash again, I thought that belt was THE belt. And when Rick Rude won it I thought he was the best. Vader with the WCW belt never entered my mind as the biggest champion. As for Barry, I also think he never lasted too long anywhere, as someone else said. I think his 1990-1993 run was the longest or maybe his 1980s JCP run but anything else he always seemed to bolt rather quickly. He's definitely a guy who fit much better in WCW better than WWF which is not a knock on him. I was always a huge fan. |
