For those who were forged and raised in WCW, I agree. Hogan, Flair, Macho, Outcasts. Most of the others most would add came from elsewhere. But as a kid who grew up primarily on Monday Nitro, these four were the four Kings of WCW. Goldberg was the Brock Lesnar. He was the one you brought in to wreck shop. Sting was the Undertaker. The one you could trust to get the job done. DDP was the Austin. Salt of the Earth ass kicker who wasnt scared to get into any scrap. Booker was the Rock of WCW. Coolest on the show, excellent promos and chock full of passion.
Booker didn't take off till wcw was already dying. Even he doesn't belong on it. I know it's popular to hate on a Goldberg, but he 1000% belongs up there.
NWO was almost their own wrestling org. If it weren't for copyright they would have branched in to other federations. As for Rey, the WCW's lucha group were journeymen who did ECW before WCW. All of them dabbled in WWE and they all had runs in Japan, Mex, and Euro.
Flair wasn't that relevant in the peak nWo era, though. Or at least he shouldn't have been. He was hogging the main event spots that Booker T's four guys should have gotten instead.
Putting Booker T on it is insane. He wasn't a big name in WCW. He was Harlem heat tag team. Then just an average guy. In fact I was surprised when he got a push in wwe.
@bobobo2224 he was in with the office BIG TIME and would stooge on other guys just to get a better spot in the company..think about it how many kids did we see growing up wearing harlem heat shirts in them Monday crowds..ZERO dude couldn't draw flies in a shit factory
@@Keepscooterr if you’re going strictly off of name, obviously Hulk Hogan is larger, if you’re going off of great matches and working ability, booker is the guy all of the way! Hulk Hogan’s back stage politics helped ruin WCW. I still however, love and Appreciate the Hulkster 💪🏼💪🏼
@@ShadowMoon878 that was the goat heels regardless there best characters they ever played hall Nash the outsider's the last real run of savage and Hollywood was definitely Hogans best you actually loved to hate them
@@Darth_Scesnoph well in my opinion the wcw Mount Rushmore is Flair, Hogan, Sting, and I guess Goldberg because I can’t think of anyone else. I have massive respect for Booker and DDP but they don’t belong on it.
@@adammcgee3205DDP was WCWs Rock. Dude was the most over Babyface second to Sting. Flair is on the Mount Rushmore of NWA not WCW. Flair was completely mistreated in the 90s by WCW. I'd take Booker out though for Hogan. Hogan is the only man in 2 mount rushmores WCW and WWF
Scott hall is on mine. He was one of the reasons just to watch it. From the time his debut aired for the 1st time. Nash was cool not as cool but together they were unstoppable.
@@mrrobot8973 when you leave WWF or WWE, they won’t let you keep your stage name. He change his wrestling name, outfit but kept all his moves and speech.
@@s2moneyy but he was WWF in the 90s he was not apart of the NWA and wcw back then fuck Hogan he was North I am talking about the south sting flair lex Luger was the south fuck hulk Hogan
Every Saturday night when I was a kid was pizza, wings, WCW. One of the only actual memories I have of the shows was Harlem Heat cleaning house at the end and they played the music extra long when all was said and done.
People confuse WCW and 80s NWA. Booker T is on the Rushmore of WCW tag teams for sure with Steiners, outsiders and the nastys WCW Rushmore is Hogan, Goldberg, Flair and Sting
thats dope af i havent met any wrestler 😢 but i know too much of it crazy my favorite wrestler was triple h and stone cold i got older now its eddie guerrero and chris benoit kurt angle and jericho is the goat... booker t is my guy love yoy dawg
@@rubenarriaga3029NWA for sure, but not really WCW. Like yeah he was big while he was there, but so was Goldberg during his spells in WWE, but he's not really synonymous with WWE like he is with WCW. Same for Flair; he's just not synonymous with WCW overall.
@@bluecrasher7710 it is before becoming WCW they was Jim Crockett promotions NWA left the JCP wrestling promotion due to arguments with how the world champion was booked etc so that's why they became WCW in 1990s
Dusty Rhodes was a hog mouth pile of goop. I remember being like 5 years old and being repulsed by that loud dumpy hick. Wrestling is so much bigger because they moved past guys like Dusty Rhodes.
You rally do have to group the early days and the end in 2001. There's so many guys that come to mind when I think of WCW ? But I'm tryna think of WcW mainstays for the most part?
@@MValleysMostWanted91 Well, Sting, Ron Simmons and Vader represents the beginning, Sting and Booker T represents the middle, and Sting Booker T and Goldberg finishes off the end
Valid asf first time watching every one of those wrestlers I was like man they damn good in the ring Ring attire was always dope And they had a great character
Scott Steiner was great, he just wasn’t perfect enough sadly, especially in terms of in ring work and promos, his promos were only good cuz of his stupid they were 😅
@@symbolic503 He started and led the most successful part of WCW, the nWo. He's the wrestler that made people take WCW seriously in the first place because he was still the most famous wrestler in the world at that time
I tapped into WCW late, but i always loved watching Sting, Goldberg, Diamond Dallas Page, and the last one is tough for me to pick personally. Scott Steiner, Ric Flair, Chris Jerocho, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Booker T....a lot of good names to choose from that i loved watching. But again, i tapped in pretty late when they were on their way out. I was born in 91 and didnt really start watching wrestling until i was 6 or 7 years old. My love for certain wrestlers also gets blended in the timeline. I love Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero but i cant remember if that was WCW or after tbh 🤷🏻♂️
I love that he qualified for his time. Shows the fan and expert in him (and/or respect for thosr that came before) Question, do you fellow fans tend to separate the pre-TBS days, or do they count? Because perhaps I would put Flair in there (but that means taking someone out and I just can't!)
Flair, Arn, Lex, and Sting. Now if we are counting just pure wcw talent that never went to wwf prior to closing, it would be this picture that Booker T has with the exception of possibly Rey Mysterio
I think Flair's also got to be included in that discussion because he was as essential as anyone in that early-WCW period as it was transitioning from Crockett Productions. But, of those five, pick who you like and I couldn't argue with it.
Flair should be hovering over in his whatever suspended life condition he's gonna survive forever in. He was HUGE get for wcw. I know Hogan gets all the attention but i vividly remember Flair coming back after leaving in the early 90s. Early wcw is peak wrestling for me.
Ric Flair, Sting, Vader and DDP would’ve probably been my picks, but that’s not a bad one either. Booker T was one half of their best tag-team, so I’m cool with that addition, and Goldberg was their biggest draw in the latter years, even though he was basically their Ultimate Warrior and couldn’t wrestle for crap or for much longer than 5 minutes. LOL! PS: That’s a great drawing!
