A sentimental favorite for many ECW fans, Stevie Richards went from “clueless putz” to a certified ECW Heavyweight Title contender. Amidst the parodies and comedy routines lied a very good in ring wrestler who while he never really found his niche in the WWE (though he did work there for a few years) will always be remembered in Philadelphia…and should be!
When Perry Saturn first gained attention from the wrestling world as one half of the Eliminators with John Kronus it was clear who was the true talent of the team. WCW rightfully snatched him up and considering that he could wrestle virtually any style, he was an immediate asset to the roster. Saturn was one of many younger talents who felt under utilized in WCW and along with Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero and Dean Malenko joined the WWE. Sadly, Saturn was not used well by the “E”, and degenerated to a comedy role where he was in love with a mop. Once Saturn lost that, he disappeared from wrestling all together. In can only be wondered what Perry Saturn would have accomplished had he been used correctly.
The high-flying Billy Kidman emerged from the “Flock” in WCW to become one of the top American Cruiserweights. He was not used as effectively in the WWE, but he did win titles there and showcased some solid work. As of this writing, he is working backstage in the WWE, and that can only increase his chances in the future, depending on what he accomplishes in that capacity.
After years of portraying various pompous characters, Scott Levy found gold when he created the persona of Raven. Raven was a dark brooding character that was very much a reflection of society around him. Quickly, he became one of the centerpiece’s of Paul Heyman’s ECW and was delivering brilliant matches and compelling promos. As Raven, he would capture the ECW Championship twice and headlined the first ECW Pay Per View.
