WCW contracts picked up by WWE in 2001?
LillaThrilla | Posted on 03/10/09 at 21:25:56 I'm looking for a list of the wrestler contracts that WWE picked up when they purchased WCW in 2001. I think it was 24 guys? |
Snabbit888 | Posted on 03/10/09 at 22:12:44 I can't find an actual list, but we could probably compile one. These ones I know for sure: Sean Stasiak Lash Leroux Kaz Hayashi Elix Skipper Billy Kidman Shane Helms Lance Storm Hugh Morrus |
Snabbit888 | Posted on 03/10/09 at 22:18:31 I believe Evan Karagis was on that list too. As was Shannon Moore. |
psz | Posted on 03/11/09 at 07:01:31 Was Booker T brought in later, or was he part of the Invasion-Contract group? |
Snabbit888 | Posted on 03/11/09 at 07:22:21 Booker was brought in later. His contract was too steep for WWE to pick up, so it was restructured to be brought in for less money. |

Snabbit888 | Posted on 03/11/09 at 18:13:13 Kanyon was brought in later too. He wasn't originally bought out. Same with DDP. I think Jindrak & O'Haire were included though. |
Zedja | Posted on 03/11/09 at 18:35:48 The Radicalz joined in 2000 so I guess you can exclude those. Lets see here. I checked OWW and these are the wrestlers employed by WCW in the 2000's: Bill Goldberg Bret Hart Dallas Page David Arquette Chris Kanyon David Flair Crowbar Shane Helms Shannon Moore Evan Karagias Lenny Lane Lodi Konnan Rey Mysterio Jr Billy Kidman Disco Inferno Juvintud Guerrera Vampiro Hugh Morrus Chavo Guerrero Lash Laroux Johnny The Bull Big Vito Reno Booker T Rick Steiner Tank Abbott Brian Knobbs Norman Smiley Greg Valentine Rick Martel Jacques Rougeau Carl Oulette The Demon Jim Powers Scott Putski Shane Douglas Bam Bam Bigelow Lance Storm Elix Skipper Mike Awesome Mike Sanders Shawn Stasiak Chuck Palumbo Sean O'Haire Mark Jindrak KweeWee The Maestro Scott Steiner Jeff Jarrett Harris Twins Brian Adams Bryan Clarke Curt Hennig Bobby Duncum Jr Kendell Windham Chris Candido The Artist Meng The Cat Kevin Nash Scott Hall Buff Bagwell Stevie Ray Mike Jones Kaz Hayashi Yang Jamie Knoble Alex Wright The Wall MI Smooth I bolded the ones I think was included. |
Snabbit888 | Posted on 03/11/09 at 21:17:42 I can't prove this, but I don't think Shane Douglas was included given his history with WWE. |
LillaThrilla | Posted on 03/11/09 at 22:22:54 Shane Douglas and Jeff Jarrett were definitely not picked up due to their histories with WWF. Also, I know nobody with a guranteed contract was picked up. |
Snabbit888 | Posted on 03/11/09 at 23:50:54 From re-looking at that list, I believe Johnny the Bull was picked up too. |
Drunken Fool | Posted on 03/12/09 at 01:05:11 sarasm on: I can't believe WWE missed out on Kendall Windham, that would've been a big coup for them :sarcasm off |
