Randy Savage in particular seemed to make it a point to OVER sell for guys and look bad in storylines in 1995/1996, plus was completely responsible for the entire angle with DDP that catapulted DDP into super-stardom. Watch early Nitros and be amazed at how Macho would spend a whole match getting absolutely crushed by relatively unknowns like Scott Norton, Chris Benoit, Kurasawa, Hugh Morrus, and Craig Pittman, while Hulk Hogan was busy having the entire Four Horsemen beg off from him and beating up EIGHT members of the Dungeon of Doom by himself.

* CreatorKiller: The infamous FingerpokeOfDoom put WCW on life support; David Arquette's run as WCW champion was simply the death knell. Ironically, Arquette himself escaped the debacle with his reputation unscathed, the reason being that Arquette himself was a wrestling fan and had protested the decision, only complying due to his contract -- it helped that the money he earned from it he donated to the families of several paralyzed and/or deceased wrestlers (including the late great Wrestling/OwenHart). Everyone else ''didn't'', but none more so than Wrestling/VinceRusso, who was so universally despised that the ''entire'' WWE creative department threatened to resign when Wrestling/VinceMcMahon brought him back briefly in 2002. Nowadays, the only wrestling company that will take Russo on is Wrestling/{{TNA}}, mainly because they're run by old WCW guys.

This is a Character YMMV Sheet for the various wrestlers, managers and assorted other personalities that appeared in {{WCW}}.
!! Non-Wrestlers
!!! Jimmy Hart (Jimmy Ray Hart, 1994-2001)
* MostAnnoyingSound: His high-pitched voice and megaphone earned him the nickname "The Mouth of the South"; this was not a compliment.
!! The Wrestlers
!!! Big Van {{Vader}} (Leon Allen White, 1990-1995)
* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: He's incredibly popular in Japan.
* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: Vader also innovated the powerbomb, which went on to become a generic 'big guy' move.
!!! Billy Kidman (Peter Allen Grunner, 1996-2001)
* EnsembleDarkhorse: He got a much bigger push than most other members of The Flock, after they disbanded.
!!! Blitzkrieg (Jay Ross, 2000)
* EnsembleDarkhorse: ''To this day'' people still fondly remember Blitzkrieg. Remember, his WCW career lasted a span of months.
* TooGoodToLast: Practically the literal embodiment of it. He was ''so good'' in the ring that even veteran cruiserweights like Juventud Guerrera and Psychosis were fans of him. And then he took a computer job with a seven digit salary and never wrestled again.
* UnfortunateImplications: Averted, very few people ever made a big deal of his name despite the Nazi connotations.
!!! [=BookerT=] (Booker Tio Huffman, 1993-2001)
* MemeticMutation: "HULKHOGAN, WE COMIN' FO' YOU, NIGGA!"
!!! BretHart (1997-2000)
* MemeticMutation: "Who are you to doubt El Dandy?"
* TearJerker: The OwenHart Tribute Match he had with ChrisBenoit.
!!! ChrisJericho (Christopher Keith Irvine, 1996-1999)
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Several, including his long list and more or less anything involving his bodyguard, Ralphus.
* MemeticMutation: 'ARMBAR!'
!!! DiamondDallasPage (Page Joseph Falkinburg, Jr., 1991-2001)
* MartyStu: An accusation lobbied at him, since he was Eric Bischoff's friend in real life. So ''of course'' he would be the one GenreSavvy face around, and the only guy to look good against the nWo on most nights.
!!! Disco Inferno (Glenn Gilbertti, 1995-2001)
* EarWorm: Disco Fever, Disco Fever, Disco Fever YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH!
!!! EddieGuerrero (1995-2000)
* EnsembleDarkhorse: He was consistantly more over than his positon on the card would indicate.
!!! [[TheBigShow The Giant]] (Paul Wight, 1995-1999)
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Tearing the ring apart with his bare hands.
!!! Glacier (Ray Lloyd, 1996-1999)
* [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment Big-Lipped Alligator Wrestler]]: By the time Glacier debuted, WCW's booking had begun to revolve entirely around the WCW/nWo war. And yet, for all the hype, Glacier, and his opponents Mortis and Wrath, were never involved in that overarching plotline at all.
* CreatorsPet: Glacier's debut was hyped for a solid 5 months; his first vignette aired in April 1996, and he didn't actually wrestle on TV until September that same year. Fans were sick of him before he even showed up, due to this. The following year-long undefeated streak did not help matters.
!!! {{Goldberg}} (William Scott "Bill" Goldberg, 1997-2001)
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Either his demolition of {{Wrestler/Raven}} and his Flock for the US Title, or his demolition of HulkHogan and his nWo for the WCW World Title. His no-selling of Ron Reis' stop sign to the head is particularly epic.

!!! LanceStorm (Lance Evers, 2000-2001)
* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: He got huge face pops during WCW's World Tour, especially in Canada.
!!! Lex Luger (Lawrence Wendell Pfohl, 1987-1992, 1995-2001)
