Is New Jack the most popular wrestler to never step foot in WCW or WWE
 

One of those random thoughts I had watching ECW.

It's completely ridiculous, but it's probably New Jack

Probably still Sting, for now

Fuck you dude. MG Hurst.

Sting was never in wcw??

I'll say yes just because the lucky bastard got to bang terri runnels

Christ, that was supposed to say WCW or WWE. Topic fail.

Probably some TNA dude is more popular than New Jack

Lol name one.

ECW was pretty big, and the WWE releasing all this ECW footage even more people know him, plus shit like Beyond the Mat and his stabbing people on youtube and beating a 70 year old man with a baseball bat.

Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Bobby Roode, James Storm.... probably all more popular than New Jack.

Wait, AJ Styles was in WCW so :foc: him.

I'd say probably AJ Styles but I wouldn't dispute if you said otherwise

was he? I did not know that

I retract my post as well

EGG on FACE here :o

grizzly redwood

Magnum TA. He rassled in the NWA but never WCW.

He was part of the tag team division in the dying months....

Air Styles and Air Paris....... AIR RAID

I win. /thread

Samoa Joe wrestled on Velocity

I'd bet my house that New Jack was more popular than Bobby Roode and James Storm.

There is no way it can be New Jack.

It seems like someone had to have gained SOME semblance of popularity somehow without setting foot in WWE or WCW. I can't think of anyone off the top of my head though.

Magnum TA

He was never in WCW.

James Storm wrestled in WCW and Robert Roode wrestled in the WWE

NWA/WCW is basically the same thing. He wrestled in the big two. WCW became WCW in 1986, the same year Magnum got into his accident.

Lol I told ya, New Jack seems ridiculous but it's very hard to come up with a different answer.

I guess it depends on how you define popularity. If it's just within the wrestling world, it could definitely be New Jack. If we're counting mainstream recognition, there are guys on TV and in movies who could win out.

Fair enough

The only TNA guy that wold come close is Samoa Joe

Was Steve Corino in WCW?

I'm defining it as people know who he is.

Lol like I said, name one.

Probably Bruiser Brody

Corino wrestles matches in the WWF

Even if Steve Corino was never in WCW he will probably not be dubbed as popular as New Jack.

So I will lose again

Son of a dick

Brody wrestled in the NWA.

Well if that's the case, more people know who Eric Young is than New Jack.

He's got some show on Animal Planet that is relatively popular. My fucking mom knows who he is.

But of course he probably jobbed on an episode of Jakked or something.

You basically have to find someone who was completely independant (I consider ECW to be independant)

Simon Diamond

Close: Sunday Night Heat and I saw him in a tag team against Palumbo and Stamboli on Velocity.
