Mid-90's has to be Rey Mysterio or Dean Malenko for me, but 1998 was Billy Kidman all the way, he was a franchise player. I hate how WWE makes it like Rey, Kidman, Benoit, Malenko, Jericho and other stars weren't being pushed. Just because you're not the champion doesn't mean you aren't getting pushed. I know Benoit won it in 2000 for a day, but the rest of these guys were a major part of WCW. My favorite is on the Monday Night Wars DVD where he says you have all this talent and you're not doing anything with it. Then he says I mean look at the WWE you have Edge, Christian, The Hardyz. At that time they were in tag team status. They weren't at the top at that time. Rey was being pushed just as much as E&C and the Hardy Boyz at the time. He had a World Heavyweight Title shot against Ric Flair on an episode of Nitro in 1999 and they almost had him win.
