Mid and undercarders you miss...
Steve Blackman. I won't defend him as the greatest of pro wrestling, but his matches were solid and entertaining. He could have used a lethal injection of verbal skill, but he's the kind of no-nonsense fighter that I think we could stand to see in WWE.
Stevie Richards. He may be in ECW right now, but I don't remember. If he is, disregard him. He's one of those guys I've always loved, despite knowing he's going to job to (whoever's up). Muhammad Hassan. Long live the Hassaning! Ultimo Dragon. One of my fave Cruisers. Farooq. One minute, you're part of a loveable tag team, basking in mediocrity. The next thing you know...DAMN! ![]() ![]() --John Rogers |

D'Lo Brown from 1998 was a classic. He even made 'Sexual Chocolate' Mark Henry entertaining.
Jeff 'Woman Hater' Jarrett from 1999. Steve Blackman bored me senseless until he found his niche in the garbage Hardcore division. In fact, add the Hardcore division to the list. |

Blackman...I remember how they pushed him with the Hardcore title until finally dropping Shane off the top of the Tron at Summerslam (?) got him over. Like the Kennedy Assassination, I am sure we will all remember exactly where we were when Blackman got over (until people remembered he was Steve Blackman).

Chyna. I miss his manly aura. I don't think there's another wrestler that could show up the manlyness of Chyna.
Sorry, I honestly don't know what's wrong with me tonight. |

omg HARDCORE HOLLY. Me and my friend's had the longest running joke of all time. Back when WWE acted like Velocity was on Saturday. And my friend and I thought if it were live on Sat. would you really pay $50 to slap Hardcore Holly's hand. Inside Joke. Might not get it

Entirely too many to name. Lance Storm would probably be #1, followed by Stevie Richards and Waylon Mercy.

I loved when DDP was a midcarder in WCW. Even during his time with having Maxx Muscle as a bodyguard and all that. Classic stuff. He had some superb matches in WCW, even with job guys. Really great talent. I liked him in WWE too, but they could've done so much more with him; though him smiling into the camera every week at random times was keeping him on TV, so I can't complain.
Dean Malenko and Marty Jannetty are two others. The Stud Stable, with Colonel Robert Parker in WCW. Geez, everyone was in there at some point. Dick Slater, Bunkhouse Buck, Arn Anderson, Steve Austin, Mike Enos, etc. All great talents in their own respective ways. Another guy I liked a lot was Johnny B. Badd / Marc Mero. ![]() Tag Team Wrestling |

I loved Positively Kanyon. Classic.
I loved the one night, when they went to the outside wide shot of the arena, ala WWE RAW, and you see off in the distance Kanyon giving a Kayon Cutter to some guy outside there, then they pan in on him running away from him. Good stuff ![]() |

I honestly miss Chyna too. I must say she was a decent IC champion and her fueds with Jericho and JJ were great. Besides just being one of the greatest managers she went on to be a draw of her own. She was a bigger star than just about everyone on the roster today.

Even great wrestlers like Benoit, Jericho and Angle couldn't do much with the belt when they only had it for a week or two. Prior to that, the Intercontinental title was always the "Wrestler's Belt". While Hogan, Warrior, Slaughter and co were headlining with the WWE Heavyweight championship, the best action was to be found with Hennig, Rude, Von Erich, Hart etc in the I-C division. |

I'm going to have to disagree, its just reflective of the pace of the business changing. It can be seen with the World Title too over those years. Benoit and Jericho were phenomenal, and lent a lot of credibility to the belt. William Regal and RVD followed, even reigns by Kane. Randy Ortons IC title reign was great, Christian and Edge were. The IC title picture has always fluctuated, but you can't say it dropped off quickly just because the belt changed hands more often. Look at the IC division in say, 96. It has been way more credible in times since then. I personally am liking Jeff Hardy as IC champion right now. Last edited by Jeritron; 02-03-2007 at 10:26 PM. |

Do you think fans would be satisfied with a Jeff Hardy vs Johnny Nitro main event at a house show, or even on Raw, if none of the "big stars" appeared before them? I think not. Last edited by NeanderCarl; 02-04-2007 at 01:08 AM. |
