Yoshihiro Tajiri

WWE Future Candidates
The Japanese Buzzsaw was one of the few who competed as a star in ECW who achieved success in the WWE. Yoshihiro Tajiri was quick, had a brilliant series of Martial Arts based offense and could deliver facial expressions that emoted comical or evil with ease.

WWE Future Candidates
Currently competing for TNA under the name Tara, the cougarlicous Lisa Marie Varon had a great run as the psychotic heel, Victoria. Initially, as one of the Godfather’s Hos, Victoria reappeared as a heel wrestler whose size and athletic prowess was combined with solid in ring skill. She delivered great matches with Trish Stratus and…

WWE Future Candidates
One of the hottest women ever employed by the WWE, Torrie Wilson may have been involved in stupid angles, but as one of the top Diva’s that the WWE had in the mid 00’s, few seemed to care. She was beautiful, could wrestle when need to and often found herself on television; basically everything you…

WWE Future Candidates
He may not have been the most talented ECW Superstar (which is not a shot at him, more of a testament to the talent Paul Heyman’s organization had), nor was he the man who was chosen with whom championship gold was bestowed upon. However, Tommy Dreamer was truly the heart and soul of Extreme Championship…

The Hurricane

WWE Future Candidates
Coming a long way from his boy band beginnings in WCW’s Three Count, Shane Helms final days in WCW allowed him to show what he could do in the squared circle competing in the Cruiserweight division. When he joined the WWE, his Green Lantern tattoo was the catalyst for the character of the Hurricane; a…

The Great Sasuke
Published in
WWE Future Candidates
As one of the greatest Light Heavyweights ever produced, The Great Sasuke became a star in his native Japan, and actually was able to take that popularity to the political arena on a regional level. Sasuke was brought in (though briefly) to the WWF in the late 90’s, but he always seemed more comfortable competing…
The Big Show

WWE Future Candidates
Although he is still relatively young, when you are the mammoth size of the Big Show, there may only so much wear and tear that a body that size can take. Billed simply as “The Giant” in WCW, the green rookie won the World Title there, and upon reaching the WWE broadened his repertoire with…
Teddy Long

WWE Future Candidates
In WCW, Teddy Long was a successful referee who became a manager and later a broadcaster. In the WWE, Long followed a similar pattern, though instead of broadcasting he became (and still is) the on air authority figure for Friday Night Smackdown. As someone who has kept his character relatively fresh for decades without really…

Taka Michinoku

WWE Future Candidates
When the WWF looked to counter WCW’s Light Heavyweight success, their initial thought was to bring in The Great Sasuke. Of course needing a television sparring partner, Taka Michinoku was given the task of wrestling him on consecutive nights. Despite losing the two bouts, it was Michinoku who was given the task of resurrecting the…
Stevie Richards
Published in
WWE Future Candidates
He was the clueless lackey of Raven in ECW, but with the formation of the comical Blue World Order attention was paid to his in ring ability. The problem was that Stevie Richards was actually so good with his over the top vocal skills that many failed to notice the skill he exhibited in the…
Steve Corino

WWE Future Candidates
The “King of Old School” Steve Corino, is not just a former ECW World Heavyweight Champion; he is likely the most decorated independent wrestler of the last fifteen years. Corino was actually a jobber on WWF programming but in ECW he became a champion with heat seeking words and a constant crimson mask. This made…

Rob Van Dam

WWE Future Candidates
It has been often said (and accurately so) that the WWE has not used ECW stars well. Rob Van Dam was one of the best wrestlers that ECW ever had, and despite not playing the rampant political game that the WWE is known for, RVD still found himself at the top of the card on…

Rey Mysterio
Published in
WWE Future Candidates
Although still relatively young, there is a lot of mileage on the small frame of Rey Mysterio and we would not be surprised if his current WWE contract will be his last. In the late 90’s, Rey Mysterio developed into the most exciting high flyer in wrestling history. As he softened his aerial tactics, he…

WWE Future Candidates
Is she really retired? And if so, are we at the point where we are ranking Divas in the post Trish Stratus era? We aren’t sure either, but for what it is worth, Michelle McCool was one of the most successful WWE Divas in the last five years with a combination of athleticism a good…

69. The One Man Gang

Tall men with exceptional girth may be a rare sight on the street but in the world of professional wrestling it is actually commonplace. What wasn’t standard was for those wrestlers to have agility, skill and a solid workrate. In the case of George Gray, A.K.A., the One Man Gang, all those attributes were present. Like many big men, the…
