HumanChessgame Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I remember magazines hyping Devon Storm as being one of the next big players. Here he is with Men at Work era Kanyon (featuring him almost eating shit on a moonsault). He also had a match with Sabu on Worldwide in Sabu's brief WCW outing but I can't find that anywhere.

AxB Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Devon Storm later became Crowbar, yes? He used to paint a six pack on his beer belly with fake tan. It looked funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodyChamp Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Good job on the Liger match find. IIRC Devon Storm was 1 of those guys who was in WCW the whole time just like Vampiro, Nailz, etc. I want to say he was the first guy I ever saw do a setup-a-chair then run and jump onto it then do an aerial move move...and it was in an early WCW match. He had a WCWSN main even match against Benoit that the announcers hyped all show long with smark remarks. It doesn’t belong in this list though. It was the 1 time I thought Benoit was in a ring not giving a s***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Youtubed Luther Reigns run in WCW, when he went by Horshu on account of his haircut and it is really random. It's idk if fascinating is the right word but it's interesting to me that guy had a cup of coffee in WCW as a lower card guy on the C shows. He's green and not very good but he does have that look every promoter thought they could make a million dollars with. It's mostly Horshu vs other WCW rand-o's (Joey Maggs, Jim Powers and Eddie Jackie) but there's also some surprises in matches with Hector Guerrero and Marty Janetty, and of course the obligatory Giant squash. The marty Janetty match for my money is the best of the 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Web Conn Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 So crazy to me he was one of those guys with like 5 matches under their belt WCW signs cuz they have “the look” immediately put them on syndicated television then almost as quickly gets lost in the shuffle. Then out of nowhere 6 years later he shows up on WWE TV as Kurt Angles bodyguard. That could have easily been Batista had he signed with the Power Plant in 98.

Curt McGirt Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) We got CW Anderson and Daffney, so hey. EDIT: I looked it up on his Wiki and have to post this because it's so fucking WCW. Take in mind CW was untrained before this and had already worked OMEGA, etc. Quote In 1998, Anderson trained at the World Championship Wrestling run Power Plant under DeWayne Bruce and Pez Whatley. While there he was told by J.J. Dillon and Paul Orndorffthat he lacked the talent and physique to become successful as a wrestler. After spending eighteen months in the Power Plant without being utilized on WCW television, Anderson opted to leave the Power Plant, turning down a six-year WCW contract offer.[4][6] Edited June 3, 2019 by Curt McGirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyld Samurai Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 "We don't see any money in you... but here is a 6 year contract." How did WCW lose $60+ million a year? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORELOCK Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) I don't care enough to go and see who said it, but something tells me that CW fucking Anderson didn't get a six-year offer after being told correctly that he lacked the necessary tools to become a superstar wrestler by the people in charge right in the middle of the time they were desperately needing to cut costs. Someone's getting worked there. Edited June 3, 2019 by MORELOCK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) The citations are CW Anderson interviews, so take that for what it's worth. Also @Web Conn is now my mortal enemy. Edited June 3, 2019 by Ryan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
