10 Forgotten WCW Wrestlers You Totally Don't Remember
8. Doc Dean
UK indy star Ian Dean used the name Doc Dean for most of his pro career. He grabbed WCW's attention after working New Japan's Best Of The Super Juniors tournament in 1997; whilst there, Dean scored wins over both Jushin Thunder Liger and Chavo Guerrero Jr. Befriending Chris Jericho over in Japan would prove to be a blessing too.
WCW signed Doc later that year, and he became something of a stalwart on the lower-tier shows like WorldWide, Saturday Night and long-forgotten syndicated hour Pro. Dean's biggest match came vs. Stevie Ray on the 2 July 1998 episode of Thunder, but he was less of a Cruiserweight concern and more of a job guy by then.
Dean was released in the summer of '98, and quickly retired from wrestling due to an accumulation of injuries. Undeterred, the dude went on to start his own plumbing company before sadly passing away in 2018. It'd be a shock if any wrestling fans reading this remembered his matches.
Some of them are immortalised on WWE's platform, at least.
