10 Most Glaringly Obvious WCW Pushes That Never Happened

9. Vampiro

Vampiro was starting to really gain traction as a babyface in the early months of the new millennium, so of course WCW's creative team decided to turn him heel. By 2000, the promotion's fan base were desperately looking for anything which might entertain, and even though Vamp wasn't the most talkative, he had a smouldering charisma about him that appealed to people. The idea of having Vampiro work with Sting was sound, but the feud is largely remembered for disastrous concepts like the 'Human Torch' match, or throwaway Steel Cage bouts on Monday Nitro, instead of being a launch pad for the man's top line career. In the early months of 2000, Vampiro seemed like he could become a top babyface, ironically possessing much of the same mystique as Sting's mercenary 'Crow' character, but as a heel he was simply ten-a-penny, blending into the crowd and becoming less successful.
