this video shows what WCW should of stuck with.. High Flyers! well at least RVD is know for it. WCW made that mistake and they couldnt recover from letting luchadors go
I must say.. out of all the wrestlers i have called my favorite and met them in real life..RVD, when i saw him,. i was start struck, because i always been into the martial arts thing, and he looks damn close to a jean claude van dam descendant..not to mention the tons of spots he did and does...in MY opinion.. TRULY.. ONE OF A KIND...=D ty for the vid post!
raven gimmick started in ecw, rvd got mainstream exposure in wcw, booker t became a star in wcw, jericho got his U.S. break through in ecw gaining exposure in wcw
They never complained about the WWE stealing their wrestlers. The problem is as much as I loved the real WWE. When Heyman said anything bad against the WWE I never too it serious because he was too busy ranking on WCW when the WWE took them out. Where is Heyman now?, And look at ECW the name and tradition is being treated like a bitch.
Heyman used to shoot on WWF all the time, he just happened to have a better relationship with them then WCW.
I agree with what you're saying though, WWF pretended to help old ecw, even lent them around 500,000$ at one point but in the end they raped ECW just as bad as wcw did.
truth is heyman never had a chance going up against turner and mcmahons budgets.
Ummm wcw cut them, they came to ECW as wcw rejects and became stars.
As talented as those guys are Neither of them have careers now if not for heymen and the REAL ECW. They'd still be Robbie V and Scotty Flamingo (what terrible gimmicks)
yeah but most of the time the guys that ecw got from wcw were jobbers, like Raven and Rvd and ECW made them stars so yeah it is stealing because it is ecw's work
they had rvd triple h stone cold undertaker owen hart scott hall kevin nash mick foley and they let them go.
thats why it pisses me off when everybody says wcw stole wwe wrestlers and its the same now everbody says tna steals wwe wrestlers even though they were in wcw and ecw first.
its like its allright when wwe do it but if anybody else does it they complain.
Actually, those wrestlers needed to be gone. Austin was there for 4 or 5 years and had done all he could do without some kind of change. Nash was horrible back then. RVD was still green. Mark Calloway was green. Owen was ready but he just wasn't a WCW guy. Foley was *close* and yeah...losing him was to dang bad.
Very Very cool post.. I remember Raven as Scotty Flamingo, but I had completely forgotten about RVD... Great job... Check out my caw collection, I have both of them in it..
Robbie V (RVD) vs Scotty Flamingo (Raven) hahahaha before they were even big names in the sport of pro wrestling classic. Raven seemed to be alot more quicker back then but I liked him better in his later years of course.

So, ECW always complained about WCW stealing talent that Raven and RVD were originally WCW material, and they did a great job.

wcw made a lot of mistakes back in the early 90s
they had rvd triple h stone cold undertaker owen hart scott hall kevin nash mick foley and they let them go.
