Mid and undercarders you miss...
 

Steve Blackman. I won't defend him as the greatest of pro wrestling, but his matches were solid and entertaining. He could have used a lethal injection of verbal skill, but he's the kind of no-nonsense fighter that I think we could stand to see in WWE.

Stevie Richards. He may be in ECW right now, but I don't remember. If he is, disregard him. He's one of those guys I've always loved, despite knowing he's going to job to (whoever's up).

Muhammad Hassan. Long live the Hassaning!

Ultimo Dragon. One of my fave Cruisers.

Farooq. One minute, you're part of a loveable tag team, basking in mediocrity. The next thing you know...DAMN! :shifty:

Also Crash and Molly Holly. RIP on the former. Molly's one of my favorite female workers.

I miss Blackman too.
Lance "if I can be serious for just a moment" Storm
D'Lo Brown circa 1998
Road Dogg in 98/99 when he went singles
Xpac in 98
Val Venis (doesn't even count these days)
Ken Shamrock (more upper midcard)
Rikishi and Too Cool

Crash too

D'Lo Brown from 1998 was a classic. He even made 'Sexual Chocolate' Mark Henry entertaining.

Jeff 'Woman Hater' Jarrett from 1999.

Steve Blackman bored me senseless until he found his niche in the garbage Hardcore division.

In fact, add the Hardcore division to the list.

HEAD CHEESE!!! and Chester McCheesey

lmao I remember when Steve Blackman turned heel and no one even noticed.

nobody cared, all they cared about was whether or not he got the kendo stick shot off and then got off tv.

Head Cheese was good stuff until they started working matches together.

Trying to choose a team name = :y: Working a match = :(

it was too funny. They're segments at WM2000 are great. Blackman getting pissed off at Al Snow's antics, classic.

Get out the sparklers, cause you know what time it is?!

GIIILLLLBERRRG! GIIIILLLBERRGGG! GILLLBERRRGGG!

Blackman...I remember how they pushed him with the Hardcore title until finally dropping Shane off the top of the Tron at Summerslam (?) got him over. Like the Kennedy Assassination, I am sure we will all remember exactly where we were when Blackman got over (until people remembered he was Steve Blackman).

Chyna. I miss his manly aura. I don't think there's another wrestler that could show up the manlyness of Chyna.

Sorry, I honestly don't know what's wrong with me tonight.

Crash Holly being the super heavy weight was nothing less than classic.


The Patriot was cool, but he was nothing compa-ALIELYAAAALIEALLYEIALAAA!!!!!-red to Hassan.

Taka and Funaki.... EVILLL HA HA! INDEEEEEEED!

I seriously need to find some Kaientai clips from that period... shockingly I cannot.

omg HARDCORE HOLLY. Me and my friend's had the longest running joke of all time. Back when WWE acted like Velocity was on Saturday. And my friend and I thought if it were live on Sat. would you really pay $50 to slap Hardcore Holly's hand. Inside Joke. Might not get it

Greg the Hammer Valentine
Koko B Ware
Brutus Beefcake
Papa Shango
Rick Rude 89'
Owen Hart 95'
Val Venis 98'

Kanyon

Entirely too many to name. Lance Storm would probably be #1, followed by Stevie Richards and Waylon Mercy.

Gangrel

I loved when DDP was a midcarder in WCW. Even during his time with having Maxx Muscle as a bodyguard and all that. Classic stuff. He had some superb matches in WCW, even with job guys. Really great talent. I liked him in WWE too, but they could've done so much more with him; though him smiling into the camera every week at random times was keeping him on TV, so I can't complain.

Dean Malenko and Marty Jannetty are two others.

The Stud Stable, with Colonel Robert Parker in WCW. Geez, everyone was in there at some point. Dick Slater, Bunkhouse Buck, Arn Anderson, Steve Austin, Mike Enos, etc. All great talents in their own respective ways.

Another guy I liked a lot was Johnny B. Badd / Marc Mero. :y:

Tag Team Wrestling

The crusierwieghts from WCW. Got 5-10 mins to kill, throw in a 6 man tag team match with them.

D'Lo Brown :'(
Kanyon

Kerrgan

D'lo Brown during his European title run. When getting announced coming to the ring he would hail from a different European city each time.

Ken Shamrock

Saturn

Glacier (mostly for the ring entrance)

Kanyon as DDP (the random Kanyon Cutters were :rofl:

I loved Positively Kanyon. Classic.

I loved the one night, when they went to the outside wide shot of the arena, ala WWE RAW, and you see off in the distance Kanyon giving a Kayon Cutter to some guy outside there, then they pan in on him running away from him.

Good stuff :y:

Forgot the West Texas Rednecks as well.

Crush (face)

EVIL Doink

Christian.

I honestly miss Chyna too. I must say she was a decent IC champion and her fueds with Jericho and JJ were great. Besides just being one of the greatest managers she went on to be a draw of her own. She was a bigger star than just about everyone on the roster today.

Lol, I remember watching the first time he came out, I was at a friends house and we we're all "Man, this guy is gonna be BAD ASS!" And then he started wrestling and it was like "Wow, he sucks."

Anyway...I guess I'll rank my top 5 midcarders missed...

5. Kanyon
4. WCW Chris Jericho (with Ralphus! that was damn funny)
3. Steve Blackman
2. D'Lo Brown

And.....

1. Lance Storm

I really think he could have been a lot bigger than he was.... :(

Come on....Curt 'Mr. Perfect' Henning. He was an upper mid-card guy.

Barry Horowitz.
Norman Smiley.

The IC division in the attitude era

I definitely miss Gangrel, if for the theme music if nothing else. I really wish Just Joe would have stuck around a while longer, could've been awesome. For some reason unbeknowedest to even myself, I miss martial arts expert Jerry Flynn.

You sure do know how to hit a guy where it hurts, eh, KK?:'(

Not that I'm overly emo/gay for him or anything but APA ruled. Guess I'm semi-glad to at least SEE him semi-regularly on RAW, but when it's only for a 10 second catchphrase bit, it just makes me want to see him in one more last match before no more Ron Simmons.

Gangrel

Sean O'Hare

What happen to him anyway?
