10 WWE Stars Who Failed In WCW

10. Brutus Beefcake

Ed Leslie has had countless gimmicks over the years, yet none were more popular than his run in the WWF as Brutus Beefcake. A Tag Team Champion in his own right, Beefcake became a high-profile part of WrestleMania IX as Hulk Hogan's partner and would ride that celebrity all the way into WCW.

In Atlanta, Beefcake became simply The Butcher and incredibly even challenged Hogan for the WCW Title in the main event of Starrcade '94, based purely on his close-friendship with 'The Hulkster'.

The following year, The Butcher became The Man with No Name before settling on The Zodiac as part of Kevin Sullivan's Dungeon of Doom. After turning babyface, The Zodiac would change his name once again to The Booty Man. Phew.

After a two year hiatus from WCW, Leslie would return to WCW one last time under the gimmick of The Disciple. With a drastic new look, Leslie was barely recognisable; however, he slotted right into his usual spot by Hogan's side, in the ever-growing nWo.

Despite having a supporting role in the Hogan/Warrior feud, The Disciple largely became a jobber after Warrior departed. Shaving his beard and appearing more like his original WWF persona, Disciple was relegated to WCW Saturday Night and Worldwide before being released in late '99.
