I'm not claiming they gave them their start, although for many guys they did, just saying what LC basically said - that's where they hit the big time and in total, got a stage upon which to showcase their craft. Had WCW not been in existence, it's hard to say whether or not they'd have ever been in WWF/E - or for some - even in ECW for that matter.

A lot of guys wrestled in WWF/E first too and then jumped to WCW, and had greater success there than in WWF. Randy Savage is an example of this. The prime of his career was arguably in WCW, where overall, he made the most of his stay and the bigger impact.
