10 WWE Superstars Who Were Forgiven For Joining WCW

Some big names proved you can go back to WWE again...

WWE.comWWE.comWhen a wrestler leaves WWE either by choice or because they were fired they have no idea if they are ever going to work for them again. Some of them might think they will get that call in six months or a year, but sometimes it doesn't happen. Others get the call back. A lot of it depends on who you are, who your friends are and if you still have something left in the tank. During the 1990s, wrestlers had choices in terms of where they wanted to work. At least they had more choices than they do today. Since WCW was paying wrestlers around the same amount of money or even more money in some cases, guys were jumping from WWE to WCW once in a while. A number of them were WWE employees that went to WCW and eventually found their way back to WWE. Not all of them did, though. Some of them returned because they are simply huge names that WWE had to bring back due to their impact on the wrestling business. Others never came back since they burned that bridge in one way or another. That would be guys like Lex Luger, Jeff Jarrett and the biggest of them all, Randy Savage. The people we're looking at here are WWE employees that ended up working for WCW and then were brought back by WWE. It's not simply guys that worked for WCW that WWE signed. They had to work for WWE before going to WCW to make it on a list like this one. There are dozens of names that would qualify for it. More than you might think. Here's a look at ten names that were forgiven for going from WWE to WCW and were welcome back to WWE because in the wrestling business you can definitely go home again.
