10 WCW Stars Who Would Have Won Money In The Bank

4. 1998 - Booker T

The stacked line-ups would have continued in 1998, although murmurs of frustration in the midcard may have led to a few lacklustre performances too. By 1998 Benoit and Eddy had been banging their heads on the glass ceiling for years, and Chris Jericho had joined them in doing so. WCW was wasting this incredible talent, choosing to headline literally tired pay-per-views with Hulk Hogan vs. Randy Savage and tag matches featuring Dennis Rodman.

It isn't entirely out of the question that WCW might have put Rodman in this match, but for the sake of sanity lets say he didn't make the cut. The nWo were involved of course, with perennial competitor Buff Bagwell joined by newest member (and potential winner) Scott Steiner.

Raven was another talented member of the WCW roster in 1998, but his place in this match would have been taken instead by Perry Saturn. It would matter little - the 1998 briefcase would have been won by one of the few breakout stars in WCW, Booker T.

Two more years would pass before Booker won his first world title, and the briefcase wouldn't have changed that fact. If by now the conceit seems ridiculous - continuing to promote MITB matches while Hulk Hogan had a creative stranglehold over the Big Gold Belt - it would have been far, far from the dumbest thing WCW did during that era.
