10 Biggest WWE Stars That Never Wrestled In WCW

10. Bob Backlund

It wasn't too uncommon for WCW to snatch up ex-WWE Champions like Pacman pellets as soon as they became available, but Backlund eluded the Atlanta outfit. Once Hulk Hogan became WWE's top dog in 1984, Backlund performed briefly for Pro Wrestling USA, a joint venture of the AWA and the NWA, but worked exclusively on the Minnesota side of things. It would be his last matches for close to seven years.

From 1992 through 1997, Backlund once more performed for WWE before settling into semi-retirement, pursuing a political career while making sporadic appearances for WWE for comedic purposes. While WWE throwbacks like Jimmy Snuka, Tito Santana, and George Steele popped up in WCW in early-2000 for a night, Backlund never did cross over.
