10 WCW Superstars Who Should Blame WWE For Their Crappy Gimmicks

3. Avalanche (Earthquake)

Earthquake is one of the biggest wrestlers in WWE history. His gimmick was that of a guy that would stomp around the ring and then squash his opponents. The name fit him perfectly because in the late 1980s/early 1990s it was a cheesy enough period that people are going to believe in a guy that was there to shake the ring. He started out as a heel, went face and then worked as a heel again. By 1994, his WWE career was over and Hulk Hogan was able to get him into WCW. What name did WCW give him when he debuted? Avalanche. It was so WCW of them to give him the name Avalanche. It's not quite an Earthquake, but it's still a natural disaster that people are scared of. The name didn't last too long because WWE threatened WCW with legal action. Imagine if that went to court with lawyers? It would be more entertaining than some matches due to how ridiculous it is.

Following the WWE legal action threats, he became The Shark because once again, this is WCW and they didn't care about coming up with good names. At least The Shark is more intimidating than The Horse or The Frog. We'll give them credit for that.
