Raven almost works...almost. Though he left WCW for the WWF when he was still Polo and then went to ECW and became Raven. Raven came to WCW and was used better than he had been by the WWF, this is true, but ECW made Raven.
Also, when Raven came to the WWF he immediately became misused. |

Windham was huge in the NWA. Doesnt count.
This is people who were nobodies then went to the WCW and became somebody....and there isnt much...since the WWE made stars and WCW stole them. |

God. Steiner was a tag champ WCW/NWA before his WWF run.
Steamboat was a top 3 face in the NWA, went to the WWF and was a mid level guy, and went to WCW to be a top guy, so maybe, but he was WELL ESTABLISHED to say the least |

Steiner was a tag champ. Not a star. WCW made him bigger than he was before.

I guess. I dunno. Steiner was a tag champ major face in WCW and was a major star in japan...
I guess its all semantics on the word star or big |

WCW was pretty scared of competition coming from WWF so they wouldn't just let a WWF midcarder make it big in their company. They only gave main event status to guys that already made it big in WWF.
WWF(or WWE if you please) on the other hand was already way above WCW when they got their wrestlers that are headlining right now, so there was nothing to worry about. Scared in a meaning, WCW didn't want the WWF guys to look better than their own, and they probably thought a midcarder from rival company getting the WCW main title would make the WCW look weak. |

I think to be classified in this, you should have at least worked a match for WWF first.

Highlights exactly what WCW's problem was. They always had the talent but they always failed to keep hold of it, losing or undervaluing the likes of Austin, Jericho, Benoit, Guerrero etc. WWF once they knew they had a talent, they kept hold of it unless they financially could not. The only ex-WWF wrestlers in WCW at it's demise were Bam Bam Bigelow, Dustin Rhodes, Jeff Jarrett, Kevin Nash, Lex Luger, Rick Steiner, Road Warrior Animal, Scott Steiner, Shane Douglas, Shawn Stasiak and possibly a few others. Basically those that were always moving from company to company, those that had burnt bridges/had disputes at WWF, those still on big money contracts and those that were totally off WWF's radar. Out of the list only Jarrett and Steiner (who was huge at the time) were near the top of WCW.
At the same time WWF had Big Show, Jericho, Regal, Raven, Eddie Guerrero, Perry Saturn, Chris Benoit, The Undertaker, Ausin and Triple H appear at Wrestlemania 17 who were all 'lost' by WCW at one point or another. |

Would you say WCW used Mang/Haku more than WWF? In his first run in the WWF he was a King and held the tag team titles. In WCW, although he only won the Hardcore title he did have some high profile matches and some even for the WCW Heavyweight title.

Only in relation to how they presented TV.
Haku wrestled the majority of PPV's while he was at NY in the 80's. He wrestled a programme with Hogan for the title for a few months in the lateies. |

Maybe Scott Hall? He was getting big almost a Main Eventer in WWE but not quite. Went to WCW with the entire NWO angle and was thrust into all the Main Events.

fuck I was going to say rick rude, he went from big to bigger....
I can't think of many, Vader could have went back to WCW and gone right back to the main event any time up until the closing of the old WCW. what about DDP and WM11, was he in the crowed or with Bam Bam or something? I Know they're friends? |

I know Sid Eudy was a World Champion in WWF, but he got his biggest break in WCW.
