Placebo is a horrible, horrible band.
And I loved Disco Inferno.

What about Disco Inferno?
He was great.

When did they ever try to "push" Disco Inferno. If anything he wasn't pushed enough.
Honestly Disco is probably top 10 in my fav wrestlers of all time.

I'd say Shane Douglas
I think Shane would be long forgotten if he never went to ECW as even the fans hated him when he tagged with Johnny Ace as The Dynamic Dudes and then of course in 99-00

I love disco and I've just watched Shane Douglas and Kendall Windhak put on a classic on Nitro.
Again, Shane wasn't pushed enough. He was the best talker in The Revolution and could go.

I guess Vince Russo too, considering he got a title run and was in feuds with Goldberg & Hogan.

Dunno. He was shit, but never really pushed. Held a couple of mid-card titles but I'm at September 1999 and he's curtain jerking against Berlyn.Buff Bagwell

I just called my mama and she said The Cat really sucked when he was made Commissioner and before that he was one trick pony, though I do not doubt that he could "whoop e'r'ybody in here".

Why are you ragging on Disco Inferno and Shane Douglas?
WCW didn't even push either very much either.

Can't believe I'm the first person to say Lex Luger and Kevin Sullivan.
Luger to his credit was over as fuck and had the look, but god damn he was terrible at everything. Basically he had a forearm and the torture rack (which was awesome), and that was it. But Kevin Sullivan, jesus christ. He was the worst. Might be my least favorite wrestler ever.

Wasn't really watching Nitro when Sullivan was there so can't comment, but jesus yeah, Luger.
Also Warrior, purely because he'd just checked out mentally by that point.

Yeah, Luger was over, but I always felt that WCW wanted him to kind of take the next step and become an "Icon", but he never could.Can't believe I'm the first person to say Lex Luger and Kevin Sullivan.

He joined the elite version eventually, I loved his short run as Scott Hall's lacky/manager. Hell Hal helped him beat Wrath on Nitro once! It was great they added Wolfpac sound effects to his theme song.yeah disco had the best heel heat, loved when they did not let him join nwo and was too fat to be in the cruser weight div.
When Disco wins you can hear that signature nWo voice, it's awesome
How can you not love this, Disco is one of the most iconic and over life time low/mid carders ever

The crowd liked Kronik so it might be a bit unfair to say they were "failed" wrestlers. If anything WCW failed with their push of Bryan Clark/Wrath during the period before he became part of the Kronik team.
Even though they were not really wrestlers, the majority of the celebrity "wrestlers" WCW hired and pushed. Huge waste of money that didn't benefit WCW, especially with Master P and his group.
