Biggest Bust in WCW from the WWF

By Scott Keith on January 17, 2019

Who would you say was WCW’s biggest busy of the big stars that came from the WWF? I had 5 to choose from Warrior, Bret Hart, Jake The Snake, British Bulldog, Earthquake.

Jake and Warrior had similar tenure’s brought in only for a few months just to do a job to a big star at Halloween Havoc. Bret with all the hype and momentum he had coming off Montreal, but at least he got a push at points.

Were there any actual plans for Jake & Warrior in WCW other than to job at Halloween Havoc? Should WCW have not rushed Warrior-Hogan II, and built up Warrior by squashing jobbers ala Goldberg like he did in the WWF, and done it later on?
Yeah, but both Jake and Warrior came in with no momentum as special attractions who didn’t really interact with the rest of the shows much, so I don’t think they count. Bret Hart was signed away at the height of his career, as World champion, for one of the biggest contracts in history. And his career was over two years later. That’s the biggest bust.
