 What's good Josh and boy Ross back again with another video. So we're gonna check out seven WCW jobbers who became WWE world champions This should be an interesting video man. Definitely want to See who are some of the jobbers that became champs The first one I can automatically think of is Jericho I don't think Jericho was a top guy in WCW. Don't actually remember no I don't I don't think people considered him a top guy When he came over to WWE to beat Stone Cold and the Rock at the same in the same night to become the champ Hey, that's so that's a that's a big step up from where you were to beating Stone Cold and the Rock in the same night That's two of the arguably two of the largest people in wrestling at the time. You beat them in the same night That's something big. So we're gonna check that out Appreciate all the love and support you guys shown on channel man. Let's get right into this Things like Chris Jericho the Giants and the radicals all shocked the system when they joined the WWF and WCW's foundations were rocked by the arrivals of Lex Luger Bret Hart and the New World Order All of these names were big stars when they joined their new homes But did you know that some of the most famous faces in WWE history were once completely faceless in WCW? I'm sorry for what happens seven WCW jobbers who became WWE world champions Number seven Rob Van Damme before he was changing. I believe Stone Cold is one of he he was in WCW Before Bishof let him go and then I think he went to ace ECW for a little bit But yeah, he was in WCW for a little bit and then he became the biggest one of the biggest wrestlers of all time In the game in ECW Rob Van Damme was changing his name for WCW calling himself Robby V The whole effing show made his WCW debut in January 1993 and wrestled a handful of matches for the promotion Over the next year A few of these bouts he was mostly used to put over names like Paul Aundorf and the Barbarian He would also clash with the Hollywood blond as part of a tag team match and once tango with future ECW star Raven under his Scotty Flamingo persona following WCW Van Damme would float around the indies in Japan for a while and then of course end up in extreme championship Wrestling and make a huge name for himself. This led him to being signed by the WWE in 2001 and five years later. He would beat John Cena to become WWE champion Great moment ECW one-night stand 2006 Van Damme was probably not going to reach the main event somewhere like WCW his high flying offense and agility made him a perfect fit for the Cruiserweight division But this was definitely as high as he was going to go and if we know one thing about RVD It's that he likes being high. Nice. Number six AJ Styles AJ Styles the man who helped revolutionize American wrestling throughout the 2000s and the owner of the Karenist haircut to ever Karen member of the WCW roster in 2001 Wrestling under the name Teens up with Air Paris to form air raid because WCW naming schemes were pretty trash They wrestled Lost three of them with their one victory coming over Alex Wright and disco inferno So don't feel too bad for them. Their highest profile match was in the first round of a tournament to crown the first ever WCW Cruiserweight tag team champions. They fought eventual winners After the company was bought out by the WWF Styles turned to the independent circuit and established himself as one of the best wrestlers in the world Especially during his stint in TNA He debuted for WWE at the 2016 Royal Rumble Which is awesome man has been WWE champion twice since then considering he spent so long on the other side aka TNA Everyone was worried that Styles would be treated like dirt when he joined the WWE, but he's been extremely well They treated him at that time. They treated him really good. They treated him great As a late he's starting to get back into his rhythm But hopefully hopefully we can get him back into the title picture scene soon Presented since his arrival and they haven't made him wrestle disco inferno once which I'm sure he's grateful for number five Kevin Nash Future WWF and WCW world champion Kevin Nash had a real rough go of it in his first run in Atlanta He first appeared for the company a tag team called the master blasters But the master was losing matches. He then went solo and took on his most infamous role Oz Inspired by the Wizard of Oz Nash dyed his hair silver put on a long green curtain and was managed by the great wizard aka Kevin Sullivan with a pet monkey and the act was as loony as it sounds and it is remembered fondly today That's one of the most bizarre wrestling gimmicks of all time That's like being pushed fairly strongly as Oz the character soon faded down the card because well, I mean look at it Nash then had another rebrand this time calling himself Vinny Vegas before leaving the company in 1993 to join the WWF Nash was immediately given a better deal portraying the tall menacing character of diesel in just over a year Diesel won the WWF championship from Bob backland and carried it for the next 12 months proving that one company's trash can Absolutely be another company's treasure. He would have jumped back to WCW only this time wearing the black and white instead of green number four Edge Adam Copeland was previously wrestling in Canada as the hilariously named at Sexton Hardcastle I did not That can't be real. Oh, no, I gotta Google that sexton heart that cannot be real no way I'm googling that no a sexton Heart no way Wow, that was him What the hell That wow That was him. That's what he went by Sexton hardcastle, that's a real thing. I had to check is that just sound so No coming to the ring Sexton hardcastle What? That's a porn star name. It's the name of Damon striker Damon wrestled two matches on WCW pro in early 96 one was against Kevin Sullivan only this time he was performing as the taskmaster and didn't have a monkey with him The other was against Meng who presumably beat up Copeland so bad that he left WCW and never came back later that same year Copeland made his WWF debut as Edge and over the next 20 years Edge would become one of the most decorated and beloved performers in the company's history You win two were rumbles become the first ever money in the bank briefcase holder retire for nine years and come back with one Hell of a pop and would pick up 11 world championships of his run number three triple H Yes, the man who now runs WWE and who married into the most successful family in all of wrestling once performed under the name terrorizing Look at that triple H is terrorizing name was actually before his time at the company WCW was awful with names Terrorizing bro, what are we talking? I mean Hunter Herms helmsley Herms helmsley is it's a little bit better But I think they were able to spin that so much better into triple H You know, it works a little bit better than terrorizing Never the less mr. Rising had a dozen matches for WCW including one for the television championship before he changed his name and character to Jean-Paul Lavec was a snooty French man who looked down on everyone he saw as beneath him. It was essentially a proto Yeah, I didn't even know that go from an upper-class snob to a degenerate I did not know it before it was Hunter Herms. Helmsley. It was that I did not I'm cerebral assassin to one of the most powerful figures in the company triple H was so prolific with his championship wins in WWE that it became a meme a long time ago But he also won the best seats in the house booking creative and head of talent relations Yeah, bad for someone who started out as a jobber for the competition This is too Kane Glenn Jacob shore has had his fair share of gimmicks Isaac Yankem DDS fake Yeah, doomsday you know bomb and the Christmas creature one of his Appearance on WCW Saturday night in 1993 as bruiser Mastino the future Tennessee faced off against one of the all-time greats the man called sting the stinger quickly dispatched of Mastino that night in Macon, Georgia beating him with a scorpion deathlock in less than three minutes after this defeat Jacobs was gone from WCW and bruiser Mastino was never seen or heard from again Good years later Jacobs turned up in the WWF as unibom and began cycling through the characters We previously mentioned two years after that and almost five years after his loss to sting the Jacobs made his first Appearance as the character that would define his legacy Yeah, as the big red machine Jacobs has won 19 different championships in WWE as well as the money in the bank brief Well, I said WWF champion WDW world heavyweight champion ECW champion two-time in the continental champion WWF hardcore champion WWE 24-7 champion two-time WWE tag team champion non-time world tag team champion 2010 money in the bank where they all I Know came was that super decorated. Oh Lee It's the fact he was a nine-time world tag team champ That's a case in 2010. He also became a Hall of Famer in 2022 joining the man who beat him in WCW all those years ago I'm the Undertaker being a lower-card wrestler in WCW. I'm surprised. I didn't put stone cold in there I mean Yeah, I'm surprised. I didn't put stone cold in there. You would think that would be like the number or lease in the list I mean, I Guess stone cold wasn't considered really a job because he was part of a tag team at one point So I guess you could say you wouldn't there. I think they're only really going by just jobbers I true jobbers like getting squash stone cold technically wasn't a jobber. So at the time So I get it W clearly runs in the family because Kane's big brother was doing it years before he was as Mean Mark Callas the Undertaker was part of a tag team called the skyscrapers who did with the Road Warriors in early 1990 The skyscrapers became the skyscraped when Callas his partner Dan Spivey left WCW And so mean Mark was left to go it alone managed by Paulie dangerously Wow, hey man, which is a wild combination Callas some success as a singles wrestler However, his confidence in WCW management began to falter when Booker Oly Anderson told him that he would never draw money After this remarking I definitely definitely I think you check down the video a while back of that That someone telling him that like them talking about this exact situation. It's crazy Say he would never be a draw and arguably one of the biggest draws in wrestling ever Including a lost Alex Luger in a US title match before seeking passengers new in the WWF and boy Did he find them doing at that year's survivor series The Undertaker would go on to have a wrestling career like no other his five world championships They're just a small part of his astonishing career as it's safe to say that his commitment to cave a but outstanding matches have Big man a lot of money over the years and only Anderson absolutely eight all of his words Yeah, that's the list. Let us know what you thought of this video. Yeah, he he definitely He definitely had to eat those words, bro He became one of the biggest draws at one point people were only coming to WrestleMania to see Who the Undertaker was gonna beat and if anyone was gonna beat the streak that it became a thing, so But yeah, man comment down below Let me know and that's crazy. I know before I get to the outro I know I said Jericho Jericho wouldn't I guess Jericho wouldn't consider the job But it's still he came from WCW and became someone Very huge same thing with Eddie Guerrero Eddie Guerrero was you know known in WCW, but he came over and became very big in the in In WWE what it took time, but he eventually got to that to that pinnacle peak before his Untimely passing so but yeah comment down below Let me know some what is your some of your favorite wrestlers that were in WCW that came over to WWE Let me know down below.
