The Dudley boys leaving ECW and going to WWF during BOTH of their peaks....it made them national stars rather than PHILLY and NYC stars, and they're cashing paychecks today still because of it. Its literally the difference between them, and Public Enemy. If the Eliminators had gone to WWF instead of WCW they might be in a similar position as well...and alive.

if there was a team that should have been bigger than what they were it was the eliminators..those dudes had the IT factor...why did saturn and kronus break up again?

Anybody that left WCW in 2000. They were on a sinking ship and they knew it...

Luger going back to WCW in '95. If he stuck around in WWF for six more months, he'd have been putting everybody over.


Bret Hart threatening to leave WWF if they didn't team him with Neidhart.

Honestly... Punk leaving WWE. Selfishly I wish he was still there, but thinking from his perspective, it was probably for the best.

Nope, Vince was in love with Lex and was gearing to keep pushing him to moon, would have got at least 1-2 title runs

You forget how much money they wasted on that bum with that Lex Express corny shyt

Nah... that Lex Express shyt had long passed by summer '95. Since then, he got his ass kicked by the Million Dollar Corporation, then was tagging with Davey Boy in that Allied Powers team that went nowhere. I guess around the time he left, he was gonna feud with Davey since Davey had turned heel, but it was clear to see that main event run had ran its course. Guarantee you by '96, he'd have been doin' the J-O-B for Vader and Sid. By '97, the Hart Foundation and the Nation. If he turned heel, HBK, Taker and Ahmed woulda been kickin' his ass. And it's not so much about winning or losing, but that woulda been his position on the card. He was on the decline.

Definitely... matter fact, it would be refreshing right now too.

Yeah I mean his face run already getting stale into spring '08, so when he finally went heel and smashed HBK's face into some glass I was like then came out the next week in a Suit & Tie and declared Y2J dead I was like :ohhh:

Have they actually disbanded? That was the only one of the factions thrown together for the "Revolution" that actually seemed to make sense. PCB and Team Bella were waste, but Team BAD actually seem to have some chemistry together.


i hope its over.

they were turning them into the female new day.

plus, they were playing naomi out.

its best that sasha does her own thing.
the other 2 need to go to TNA. especially naomi, who should be a multi-time champ by now. the wwe is no place for an all-black woman.

Austin moving from WCW, changed the whole game when he got outta there.

Cutting his hair and wearing the hoop earring joint in the E. Appearence is key brehs.

Aint even the same dude...


that pic is ancient.

austin been cut his hair down to a crew-cut and got on some rugged chit long before he left wcw.

he shaved it all off in the wwe, probably because he was balding iirc.

the eliminators were never in wcw. it was just saturn - the same guy who the wwf ruined.

lol @ the dudleys being just philly & nyc stars in ecw.

i cant see the public enemy getting to do the table routine in the wwf.

Yea Austin's big move was demanding that his gimmick change while he was already with the WWF. He didn't need the MDM or the Ringmaster gimmick any longer


THIS.

people act like the wwf saved austin from wcw, when in reality, the low-point of his career was the wwf ringmaster chit.

then he went back to what he was doing in ecw, and jackin some of the sandman's schtick while at it.

Yea he went through an evolution with his appearance but it was a good move to keep looking for more freedom to do his own thing and increase his visibility.

I thought he may have been on some MJ shyt and cut it for the look, either way shyt worked out for him nice when he got to the WWF. Was it JR that told him to come through??? That was a good ass career move.

Yea, shyt was obviously holding him back after what he showed with Paul E. But going to WWF was a great career move.

He bet on himself and knew he could get way over in the prime time companies. With a sour relationship with WCW, he had to go to WWF to maximize his career. He won the bet big time.
