Biggest drop offs from one company to another.

[Daniel F'n Bryan]

I wasn't entirely sure what to call this thread but basically who in your opinion was misutilized when they went from one company to another? The first two that come to mine for me Are Harley race (went from being one of the faces of the nwa and a multiple time champion to being nothing more then a low mid carder in the wwf) and Bret hart (need I explain what hap pend when he went to wcw?). So what do you guys think?

Mike Awesome had a huge drop off from ECW to WCW. IN ECW, Awesome was a top guy and had excellent matches when he was headlining. A year later he is in WCW as the "Fat Chick Thrilla" and then when that SURPRISINGLY FAILED, he became, That 70's Guy Mike Awesome. What the hell were they doing with him?

DDP - Went from WCW main eventer to WWF jobber in no time.

How about Bret Hart? Was WWF Champion in the WWF, obviously, and then was the United States Champion in WCW with constant turns.

The Big Show, in WCW he was awesome but in WWE he just seems like a joke, he did have quick little push when he came over but WWW dropped the ball

Bret Hart easily, was probably the best wrestler in the U.S in 1997, multi time champ in the same year. Left the WWF after the most controversial match in WWF history so was red hot, went to WCW & signed a $9m - 3 year deal and became a big fat ZERO.

Got stuck with a mid card title, meaningless feuds and endless turns between heel & face, when he finally became WCW champion the fans couldn't have cared less.

Justin Credible from ECW to WWE. He went from one of the top guys in ECW to nothing in WWE.

A lot of good ones have been named.

I always remember Buff Bagwell being a HUGE name towards the end of WCW and a guy everybody thought would succeed so well in WWF during the attitude era.

He lasted one night on Raw.

Jerry Lynn from ECW to WWF in 2001
Brian Adams from WWF to WCW in 1998

great ones listed.heres some more.......

Taz.....look at his debut.and then look at what happened after.

Public Enemy-went from top dogs in ECW to being mishandled in WCW but then came their time in WWF.......went there and were treated like crap by "loyal" WWFers Holly and Bradshaw.ya see I didnt realise Holly and Bradshaw were so sought after by WCW to be proclaimed such loyalists to Vince.in dickheads.nobody else wanted them thats why they were employed by Vince.

Vince blew it big time by listening to these clowns.PE were great and could have had awesome encounters in the thriving tag scene 99/00.The Dudleys went through the same crapbut vince had it cut out in their case.

[kazoosandstreamers]

Raven, and other ECW guys in WCW and then in WWE.

Bam Bam Bigelow went from headlining a Wrestlemania to forgettable in wcw and ecw.

Kevin Nash from WCW to WWE, he was pretty much the top guy in WCW, to managing Scott Hall at Wrestlemania.

Nash was injured though man-he was schedualed to face Kane at WM18 so that doesnt really match up.

Bam Bam was good in ECW what are you talking about?

[Deleted]

It's really hard to consider ECW something where people can drop off from...especially when Mikey Whipwreck was the company's World Champ. Bam Bam went from main eventing WRESTLEMANIA...to wrestling in a bingo hall, for a company that was much more regional than the international WWE. As cool as ECW was, in many ways they didn't have that credibility. Public Enemy going from ECW to WCW was a huge step up for them, they got national exposure and what not. I don't really see how WWE blew it with Public Enemy, they weren't really that good and by the time they came to Raw WCW had already
sucked them dry of any credibility. Plus given the tag team division during that time, I'm not sure where they would have fit in.

Not mention didn't PE choose WCW or WWE back in 95? How do you expect WWE loyalists to act?

One more thing Rocco Rock was already in his mid 40's by the time they came to WWE, their better years were way past them...Plus if you had to push ONE ECW tag team..do you push The Dudleys or do you push Public Enemy?

I'm surprised no one mentioned Dusty Rhodes from NWA-WCW to his polka dots in WWE

The problem isnt Taker refused to put him over, the problem is he shouldnt have been paired with Taker in the first place and second of all his entire WCW gimmick was basically dropped and he wasnt given a chance to be as great as he was in WCW.

I'm going to go with an old one, Ronnie Garvin. He went from NWA Champion in '87 to lower mid-card jobber in the WWF by early '89. I will say though, Garvin had never been much more than a mid-carder before being given the title run, so I'm not sure if it was really a huge drop off.
