Benoit, Jericho, Guerrero, Malenko, Saturn, Foley....all these guys were put into the spotlight with WCW. I had no clue who the first five were until they arrived on WCW programming, as did most wrestling fans. ECW and Japan may of gave them thier first opportunities, but let's be real here, WCW Made them. With Foley, I recognized him first as Cactus Jack in WCW. And he was given a decent push, so it's not like he was a jobber.
Yes, I agree WWF did make Austin into a Major Star, but he was one of the prime time players in WCW. He won the TV, Tag, and US Title in a span of like 3 years. I wouldn't really call that being treated like shit.
Gonna say WWF is/was/ever will be my favorite.
