10 Wrestlers You Never Realised Were Signed To WCW

“Wildcat” Chris Harris is best known to wrestling fans for his time with TNA. As one half of America’s Most Wanted alongside James Storm, this tandem became one of the most popular acts in TNA, and many viewed them as one of the best tag teams in the business.

Before his time with TNA, however, Harris’ first ever full-time professional wrestling contract was with WCW. Signing with the company towards the end of 2000, the then-27-year-old competed relatively regularly on WCW WorldWide and WCW Saturday Night in losing efforts against established stars like Curt Hennig, Booker T, and Shane Douglas. Harris would also portray a fake Sting at 2000’s Halloween Havoc PPV, before later becoming a part of Vince Russo and Eric Bischoff’s on-air security team. The future stalwart of TNA's early days would remain with WCW until it closed in 2001, with him then eventually landing in TNA a year later.

Fast-forward to 2008 and Harris would infamously have a mega-brief stint under the WWE umbrella as Braden Walker in the company’s revamped ECW. That short spell was is best remembered for Braden spouting the immortal line of “I’m Braden Walker and I’m going to knock your brains out”. Catchy, no?

Clearly not, for Harris would be leave WWE only a matter of weeks after muttering this line.
