10 WCW World Heavyweight Championship Challengers Nobody Remembers
8. The Butcher - Starrcade, 1994
No, not the guy who currently sports the finest moustache in wrestling over on AEW. We're talking about the life-long pal of The Immortal One and one-time Barber, Brutus Beefcake, otherwise known as The Butcher during his time under the WCW roof.
Proving that it pays to have friends in high places in the wrasslin' business, Brother Bruti was quickly shoved into a WCW World Championship feud with Hulk Hogan as it was revealed that the former Beefcake was the masked man who'd attacked the champ at Clash of Champions XXVIII.
This all led to the now Three Faces of Fear man battling against Hogan at the '94 Starrcade event. However, the pair's eventual match was less than well received, with The Butcher's in-ring ability and all-round fitness being called into question shortly after.
This wasn't the last time Beefcake would find himself in a World Championship match during his time in WCW, though, as he later unsuccessfully collided with The Giant under his Booty Man guise at a Saturday Night show in '96.
