7. AJ Styles
Similar to Van Dam, AJ Styles entered WCW at the wrong time. The one difference here is that Styles was very much ready for the promotion, but WCW wasn't ready for him, and would be sold just a few short months later. Making up one half of the tag-team 'Air Raid' with Air Paris, Styles went under the moniker 'Air Styles', and the duo were making good progress before WCW went under. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1dgxs_aj-styles-in-wcw_sport Who knows what might have been for Styles if the promotion hadn't been sold to Vince McMahon. One thing was for certain, McMahon never really seemed too interested in acquiring the contract of AJ, meaning he was forced to make a name for himself on the independent scene again, before becoming a crucial element to the upstart TNA's new X-Division. There's no doubt about it, Styles would have fit nicely into the WCW Cruiserweight ranks, putting on sterling matches against the likes of Shane Helms, Chavo Guerrero and Rey Mysterio, had the company stuck around.
