| 19 | |
| 20 | !!! Bunkhouse Buck (James Golden), 1994-1997 |
| 21 | * [[LoopholeAbuse Ain't No Rule]]: His FinishingMove was often a big boot. Bunkhouse was smaller than most wrestlers who use the big boot, but he wore cowboy boots that were said to make the big boot more damaging than it would have been - however there was no rule against wearing cowboy boots in the ring. |
| 22 | * AscendedExtra: Most of his time in WCW was spent as a jobber-to-the-stars, but in '95 he had a brief tag team title reign alongside Dick Slater. |
| 23 | * BadassLongcoat: Subverted - he wore a pale tan duster to the ring that made him look more slovenly than badass. |
| 24 | * GoodOldFisticuffs: The commentators always made it a point to mention that fistfighting Bunkhouse was a ''bad'' idea. |
| 25 | * ThePigPen: Noted to literally stink, mainly because he wore winter underwear all the time. |
| 26 | * TagTeam: Never did much by himself, but in addition to his run with Dick Slater, he had some quasi-successful tag team runs with Arn Anderson and Mike Enos. |

| 157 | [[quoteright:100:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/renegadewcw_9244.jpg]] |
| 158 | * CaptainErsatz: For the Wrestling/UltimateWarrior, as Hulk would show videos of him acting very much like Warrior with the apparent intention of making people believe that the Ultimate Warrior actually was coming in to WCW at the time. |
| 159 | * DemotedToExtra: After Wrestling/DiamondDallasPage defeated him for the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wcw/wcw-tv.html WCW World Television Title]] at ''WCW Fall Brawl 95'', he basically became a {{Jobber}} until he was released in December 1998. |
| 160 | * DownerEnding: Killed himself on February 23, 1999, two months after WCW released him. |

| 167 | * AlliterativeName: As '''S'''cott '''S'''tudd, the name he used before he became Scotty Riggs. |
| 168 | * ArchEnemy: Surprisingly ''not'' Buff Bagwell, as they didn't interact much after Bagwell ditched Riggs for the [=nWo=]. The only major singles feud he had was with Raven. |
| 169 | * ChippendalesDancers: The American Males' image, with bowties, suspenders and PaintedOnPants. |
| 170 | * DeathFromAbove: In possibly the high point of his WCW run, he swan dived over the ropes and ''over the barricade'' to attack Raven. |
| 171 | * DefeatingTheUndefeatable: Inverted, in his Scott Studd days he actually ''lost'' to '''''The Gambler'''''. |
| 172 | * DemotedToExtra: After his feud with Raven, WCW never really did much with him. In the Flock he was just a job guy to put Raven's enemies over, and he was very sporadically used post-Flock. |
| 173 | * EyeScream: Raven gave Scotty a drop toehold onto a chair, injuring Riggs' eye. Started wearing an eyepatch after Raven gave him the drop-toehold into a chair. |
| 174 | * TheFightingNarcissist: In 1999, after the Flock had been disbanded and he had been repackaged. During his match with Wrestling/BarryHorowitz on the October 2, 1999 ''WCW Saturday Night,'' he did a Wrestling/RickRude hip swivel and pointed to Heaven, as Rude had passed away on April 20th. |
| 175 | * FinishingMove: Flying Forearm. |
| 176 | * LastNameBasis: Referred to only as "Riggs" when he was in Raven's Flock. |
| 177 | * PowerStable: Wrestling/{{Raven}}'s Flock. |
| 178 | * StockholmSyndrome: After losing a No-DQ match to Raven at World War 3 '97, Riggs was carried out of the arena by the Flock. The next night on Nitro, he had joined the Flock. |
| 179 | * TagTeam: The American Males, with Buff Bagwell. |
| 180 | * WorkedShoot: On the first night that Wrestling/VinceRusso had the books, he and Bagwell were talking about their upcoming match, with Riggs telling Bagwell that he (Riggs) was going over, which Bagwell couldn't believe. In the match, Bagwell pinned Riggs "for real and wouldn't let go", so the referee "had" to declare him the winner. |
| 181 | |
| 182 | |
| 183 | !!! Paul Roma (Paul Centopani) 1993-1995 |
| 184 | [[quoteright:100:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/paulroma_7799.jpg]] |
| 185 | * FinishingMove: Top rope splash |
| 186 | * {{Jerkass}}[=/=]SmallNameBigEgo[=/=]HoistByHisOwnPetard[=/=]: Canned for deliberately no-selling and sandbagging Alex Wright during their match at ''[=SuperBrawl=] V'', to the point that Roma actually ''kicked out'' of Wright's fluke schoolboy rollup pin attempt, but the ref counted to three anyway. |
| 187 | * PowerStable: The Four Horsemen, inexplicably enough. |
| 188 | * RedBaron: "Pretty," leading to his TagTeam with "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff being given the name [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs Pretty Wonderful]] |

| 197 | [[quoteright:80:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/junglejimsteele_1356.jpg]] |
| 198 | * {{Expy}}: WCW's second attempt (after Van Hammer and before the Renegade) to create their own version of the Ultimate Warrior. In this case, UW crossed with Franchise/{{Tarzan}}. |
| 199 | * FinishingMove: Steele Trap. |
| 200 | * {{Jobber}}: Pretty much. He had one [=PPV=] match, a loss to the Equalizer at ''WCW [=SuperBrawl=] IV,'' and didn't get too many opportunities after that. |
| 201 | |
| 202 | !!! Stevie Ray (Lash Rushay Huffman) 1993-2001 |
| 203 | [[quoteright:120:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stevieraywcw_8051.jpg]] |

| 209 | * NameOfCain: When Harlem Heat debuted, Booker was "Kole" and Stevie was "Kane." |
| 210 | * ScaryBlackMan |
| 211 | * SiblingYinYang: Booker T is a charismatic, energetic, highly-talented LightningBruiser who won practically ever title in WCW. Stevie Ray...was a very entertaining color commentator. |
