10 Wrestlers You Never Realised Were Signed To WCW

Much like his America’s Most Wanted tag team partner, James Storm is another who spent some time contracted to World Championship Wrestling.

Having begun his initial wrestling training in 1995, Storm would sign with WCW in 2000. In fact, he was in the same training classes as the aforementioned Harris. And like his future tag partner, Storm would make several appearances on WCW WorldWide and WCW Saturday Night. All appearances that would end in defeat, of course.

After Vince McMahon and the then-WWF purchased WCW in March 2001, Cowboy would head back to the independent scene before signing to TNA in 2002. In a fun fact, TNA signed both Storm and Harris after seeing them compete against each other. Despite having never teamed together before, TNA made the call to team the pair up, which proved to be a masterstroke as the duo are still recognised as one of the greatest acts in Impact Wrestling history.
