10 WCW Greats That WWE Didn't Know What To Do With
9. Mark Jindrak/Shawn Stasiak
These two members of the Natural Born Thrillers who could have been perfectly serviceable WWE stars in the early 2000s. In fact, Jindrak was originally tapped to be a member of Evolution before being replaced by Batista. (No word on how Jindrak would look in skinny jeans with a nose ring.) He settled for being a poor Narcissist knockoff for a while before serving as Kurt Angle's lackey. Not exactly the career that his replacement in Evolution managed. Stasiak bounced back and forth between WWE and WCW, starting out as Meat in WWE before being taken somewhat more seriously in WCW. He established himself as a credible wrestler, only to return to WWE during the Invasion with a klutz gimmick and later became known as the man from Planet Stasiak. Here WWE had the son of the company's fifth world champion, and instead of at least trying to use that, they made him out to be a geek.
Scott is a former journalist and longtime wrestling fan who was smart enough to abandon WCW during the Monday Night Wars the same time as the Radicalz. He fondly remembers watching WrestleMania III, IV, V and VI and Saturday Night's Main Event, came back to wrestling during the Attitude Era, and has been a consumer of sports entertainment since then. He's written for WhatCulture for more than a decade, establishing the Ups and Downs articles for WWE Raw and WWE PPVs/PLEs and composing pieces on a variety of topics.
