10 ECW Flops In WWE That Should Have Been Huge
8. Super Crazy
Super Crazy’s name is synonymous with ECW’s fast-moving, all-action midcard from the late 1990s. He actually worked briefly for WWE prior to hooking up with Paul Heyman’s company, but left after just a single televised appearance in 1997, and joined ECW the following year.
Crazy was usually booked against fellow cruiserweight wrestlers, and engaged in a major rivalry with Tajiri during which they produced a long series of acclaimed matches. He became Television Champion later in his run, and stuck with ECW right up until the company folded, though WWE decided against bringing him back when they absorbed the bankrupt promotion.
After four years on the indies, Crazy returned to WWE in 2005, when he, Psicosis, and Juventud Guerrera formed The Mexicools. Racially insensitive and based heavily on tiresome Mexican stereotypes, the stable bombed, and all three set off in different directions.
Crazy stayed with WWE until 2008, but the company were never able to find a consistent role for him. Allowing him to get over on the strength of his in-ring performances should have at least helped him forge a solid midcard career, but the Mexicools gimmick nuked all chances of that happening.
