10 WWE Stars You Forgot Fought For WCW During The Monday Night War

10. Barry Darsow

One half of one of the greatest tag-teams in WWE history, Demolition (and perpetrator of one of the worst gimmicks in WWE history, Repo Man); Barry Darsow was a WWE stalwart from 1987 to 1993.

After an ill-fated run in WCW - both he and Dustin Rhodes were fired for bleeding during their infamous King of the Road match in 1995 - Darsow disappeared from the wrestling spotlight entirely.

Wrestling in regional promotions in his native Minnesota, Darsow made an unexpected return to WCW in 1997 during the height of the company's popularity. Returning under his own name with all the fanfare of a party horn, Darsow quickly became a forgettable undercard heel on secondary shows Worldwide and Saturday Night.

Repackaged in late 1998 under the sure-fire gimmick of villainous golf player Mr Hole-In-One, Darsow hit another air shot as his career trajectory remained consigned to jobbing to the likes of Jim Duggan on Saturday Night.

Throughout WCW's perilous 1999, Darsow, suffered a bout of amnesia, causing him to reprise his old characters Krusher Kruschev and the Blacktop Bully. He used these for the remainder of his time with the company, before departing in 2000.
