Mid carders who were crazy over
Hacksaw Jim Duggan came to mind. During his reign as King Hacsaw you could argue he was the second most over babyface in the WWF.
Watching some old videos on youtube and I completely forgot how friggen over The Oddities were, especially when ICP were with them. Unbelievable. |

He was, but not to the level as he was in the WWF. Gonna go find a tag match he was in against Andre the Giant. Crowd was crazy for him.

Hate ICP's music, but gotta admit the Oddities theme was awesome. Loved their entrance. Shitty in the ring but crowd loved them.

The New Age Outlaws.
Actually pretty much any face midcarder from the attitude era was over by today's standards. |

Fuck, those videos even make me miss The Oddities just for the crowd response.
Not a bad promo by Violent J in that second video either. |

Definitely Vader in late '96 or '97. He got some insane face pops at that time

Jake the Snake Roberts was a Mid Carder back in the day was pretty over. Steamboat in WWE was a midcarder over as heck around WM 3.

You really can make a point that every performer during the attitude era was crazy over compared to now days, except for Mark Henry who is over more now than back then.
In WCW, DDP before DDP cracked the main event scene. |

Almost from the moment he arrived in the WWF till his big push in mid-2006 against Cena. |

Buff Bagwell back in WCW was really over.

Buff Bagwell ws probably the biggest missed opportunity to create a main event guy that WCW had. Why he came back as a heel after he broke his neck is beyond me

In Rey's case no since he was booked like shit as World Champion both times he had the Big Gold Belt. They didn't even call it the World Heavweight Championship when he had the belt because he wasn't a heavyweight. Also he was WWE Champion for less than an hour.

In an ideal world, Bagwell could have returned from his life threatening injury, get beaten down by the NWO, become a huge sympathetic babyface vowing revenge. He had lots of charisma. I really think if booked right it would have been massive.
