WCW rarely considered indy talents at the time, and pretty much kept that up right on through their closure. A few guys got lucky enough to break into the promotion through being noticed on the indy scene, but that was here & there.

They were also hot on scooping up most guys from Mexico back then, as well as anyone leaving planet McMahon - so as far as WCW went, it was basically out of the question.

ECW tried again and again to snap him up, and he would've been huge there - as that is what they already had laid out for him, but they didn't spend $$ on their guys back then, and expected people to work full schedules for free.

Also, on the note about them pushing him, that's why I included "Again though, only if they used him right" in my next post. I understand the politics of their booking process and all that crap, so I get your point - I just didn't want you to think that I meant it'd be a certainty (since they always have a habit of never using anyone correctly).

Sabu isn't shit. Yes, all those wrestlers you mentioned would be considered hardcore but sabu is up there with them. He didn't just fall from high places, he *dived* from high places. One of the best high-flyers to ever grace a wrestling ring.

Since when is intentially landing on your fuckin head (and as result breaking your neck) considered grace. You want grace in a high flyer, I give you the Ultimo Dragon, I give you AJ Styles, The Amazing Red, Christopher Fuckin Daniels. In Sabu all you have is a man who has landed on his head so many times and as result has lost far to many brain cells to realise that doing so, is fuckin stupid. Sabu was over, I'll give you that. But hell, Britney Spears sells millions of cds, are you going to try and convince me that constituates talent too? Frankly is the hundreds of ECW tapes I have, I can think of more spots Sabu fucked up (on accident) than he landed correctly a(and just for the sake of giving you a chance, I'm couting him landing on his head "correct").

That's a little harsh man. Not that I don't partially agree, but Sabu CAN wrestle. It's just that the aerial moves into the second row is what made him so famous, why go against the grain? New Jack on the other hand, I totally agree with. He was a high spot guy, I don't think I've ever seen him do any kind of wrestling move ever.

They don't need to hire anybody at the moment. If anything, they need to get rid of the dead weight in the company and use the talent that they have.

Sabu even trying to wrestle is a joke.

The guy can not wrestle, as he has no ability to actually do so - and even if he somehow learned, he still would lack the psychology necessary to do it. He is just totally all-around horrible.
