10 WCW Greats That WWE Didn't Know What To Do With
4. Sean O'Haire
Man, talk about wasted potential. Sean O'Haire was one of the most impressive figures of WCW in 2000-01. He was a big man who could really move with a great finisher, a senton bomb that looked better than Jeff Hardy's ever did. When he got to WWE, they gave him a great "devil's advocate" gimmick, which showed that he could talk too (!), at which point, any wrestling promoter probably would be counting money in their sleep. However, O'Haire got paired with "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, which killed any momentum he had, and once Piper was released, O'Haire wasn't long for the company. He wasn't going to be a John Cena, but O'Haire should have been a main event-caliber wrestler based on his look and ability. Instead, there wasn't one memorable feud after the Invasion ended. But I'm not telling you anything you don't already know.
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.
