WWE.com article - Forgotten competitors of WCW
 
http://www.wwe.com/inside/wcw/forget...cw-competitors

Thoughts on who they chose? Who else would you include?

Alternatively if this thread fails this can also be the Berlyn appreciation thread.

Vastardikai 10-16-2011 02:38 AM

Disco Inferno entertained me. Zodiac (or Booty Man, or Disciple) NEVER did.

glanville6 10-16-2011 03:39 AM

Ha, they could have done more than 29.

I know they could easily make a list of WWF/E characters in the same vain.

As for WCW guys left out, Hugh G. Rection (which obviously they aren't going to put up nowadays), Mark Madden (I know he was an announcer, but still), and ICP. Yeah. Fuck them.

I liked the captions to the pictures too.

MIZantine Empire 10-16-2011 04:28 AM

gonna go with norman smiley..and i disagree with glacier and lash leroux (slightly) glacier had potential..they booked him shitty.

KIRA 10-16-2011 05:16 AM

Berlyn was all kinds of kickass till they pussied out on his gimmick it was only then that he became a footnote



on a side note the fact that lighting foot jerry flynn isnt on this list is a crime

The Macrem 10-16-2011 05:35 AM

Can't believe they would disrespect Three Count like that.

Testicle 10-16-2011 07:49 AM

Alex Wright fucking rules.

Rammsteinmad 10-16-2011 09:38 AM

Berlyn would have worked a lot better if Alex Wright had the same muscle then as he does now.

Evil Vito 10-16-2011 10:53 AM

<font color=goldenrod>I haven't forgotten ANY of those people.</font> :o

DLVH84 10-16-2011 11:05 AM

At least those guys are a lot better in the ring than The Ding Dongs, that's for damn sure.

Lock Jaw 10-16-2011 12:59 PM

Berlyn
3 Count
Ciclope
Crowbar
G.I. Bro
Glacier
Kwee-Wee
Lash LeRoux
Lenny Lane
Lodi
Pepe
Ralphus
Disco Inferno

Innovator 10-16-2011 12:59 PM

Hey, fuck you! The Dead Pool was the shit! Way better than Doug Glanville, that's for sure. :shifty:

Anybody Thrilla 10-16-2011 01:01 PM

Also, saying Lodi didn't have any personality outside of his signs is poppycock. The West Hollywood Blondes were all sorts of entertaining.

Anybody Thrilla 10-16-2011 01:02 PM

If anybody from The Flock was included, it should have been Reese. I even had to think for a second to remember his name before I made this post.

Anybody Thrilla 10-16-2011 01:03 PM

Disco Inferno was the shit for real. Can't even believe they'd shit on him.

I mean, I can definitely believe it, but you know.

Pintint 10-16-2011 01:17 PM

I didnt watch WCW and even I remember all of these competitors.

Fox 10-16-2011 01:17 PM

Crowbar was actually a pretty decent wrestler. And Glacier was fucking awesome.

The only one I hated was Lodi.

I remember one Thunder he held a sign saying "I can beat Jannetty," and Marty superkicked him, knocking him out cold, while wrestling Raven.

Ultra Mantis 10-16-2011 05:01 PM

Thats is a really counteractive example of why you hate Lodi. He was fantastic with the flock, knew he was a total jobber and played on it brilliantly.

PorkSoda 10-16-2011 06:21 PM

Would you be afraid if Crowbar is walking down the street?

XCaliber 10-16-2011 06:35 PM

Never knew there was a Fake Sting lol.

Juan 10-16-2011 07:19 PM

lol @ Lenny Lane

Executioner 10-16-2011 09:17 PM

Who is WWE to doubt El Dandy!?!?!?!?

Lara Emily 10-17-2011 12:11 AM

Am I the only one who doesn't see Disco on the list?

29 guys, Glacier there twice I don't see Disco.

Juan 10-17-2011 12:54 AM

He's in the last picture with The Zodiac

Lock Jaw 10-17-2011 12:56 AM

Didn't even merit his own picture. This insult runs deep.

Supreme Olajuwon 10-17-2011 12:59 AM

LOL @ Ed Leslie and Barry Darsow getting multiple nods. Kinda sums up their careers.

Big fan of Lash Leroux. Guy was great at getting the shit kicked out of him.

Oh.


Well idiots.


Disco was a solid in ring worker, with great mic skills and was ridiculously over for a guy who jobbed 90% of the time. Actually what I liked most about Disco is they always treated him as a guy who could win a hell of a lot more if he just stopped dancing. It's a great way to put over a jobber level guy without making him in to an actual loser.

DLVH84 10-17-2011 02:05 PM

I liked Van Hammer when he was "Heavy Metal".

How does he look now?

Disco and Glacier did not deserve to be on that list.

sptaz 10-17-2011 06:05 PM

Buff Bagwell should have been on the list - no personality, crap wrestler.

Lock Jaw 10-17-2011 06:10 PM

Buff's Hat had tons of charisma though.

who remembers their epic homorific stare down?

Vastardikai 10-17-2011 07:11 PM

Norton > Ice Train.

That's all.
