9 Wrestlers WWE Should Have Signed In The 90s

The Monday Night wars could have been a hell of a lot different.

Ah, the 1990s. What a glorious time to be a wrestling fan, and what an even more glorious time to be a professional wrestler. Despite a blip in the early-to-mid 90s, there were never really any shortage of places to work, at least not for those with genuine talent and drawing power. It may not been as good as the heyday of the territories, but you still had WWE, WCW, ECW, Japan, Mexico and the indies to work, and business was, at times, red hot. Many performers hopped around from company to company, turning up in all of the 'big three' while also plying their trade in Tijuana, Tokyo and beyond. Despite the nomadic nature of the business, there were still a few guys and gals that never quite made it to WWE. Sure, they may have had one or two matches for Vince McMahon here and there. Hell, they may have even joined the company full-time at a much later date. But they never signed a full-time contract to work for Vince during the decade that gifted us the so-called Monday Night War. Had they have done so, the professional landscape would have been far, far different. WWE could have been a lot more canny in their business dealings back then and while, sure, they hired Steve Austin, Triple H, Mick Foley and others, they could have had a talent roster that would have prevented the likes of ECW and WCW from truly competing. They could, and really should, have hired these nine wrestlers.
