WCW had an impressive roster during different points of its history, but not everyone reached the level fans expected. Which wrestler do you think had more potential than WCW ultimately gave them? What could the company have done differently with their character?

I’d say Chris Kanyon deserved a bigger push in WCW. He had good in-ring ability, a unique personality, and could work different types of matches. He was often entertaining without needing to be the biggest name on the roster. With a stronger storyline and more consistent booking, he could have become a bigger star.

For me, Dean Malenko deserved a stronger singles push in WCW. He had excellent technical skills, worked well with different opponents, and carried himself like a serious competitor. His matches with Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit showed what he could do, but he rarely felt like a long-term centerpiece of the company.
