Who is your favorite WCW wrestler?

I just finished watching The Rise and Fall of WCW and that got me to wondering, who is your favorite WCW wrestler? When answering this you should only think about their WCw career. Most every huge WCW star spent time in the WWE, so try and leave the WWE out of it.

I am going to go with Goldberg. I know that he is was not a great wrestler, but either was Nash. Goldberg brought some of the most impressive power moves ever.

Tough considering that a lot of my favorites have worked for WCW. Ignoring those people whose biggest success came from WWE, I'll go with Sting. Flair and Goldberg are honorable mentions. Goldberg is much like Batista for me, sometimes I like him and sometimes I hate him. Depends on how their being used really.

I always liked Scott Hall a lot. He oozed charisma and for his size was a real mobile guy. I think if his attitude was better and he had more self-control, he could have won numerous World Titles. He had everything needed to succeed, the full package for back then. I found him hugely entertaining.

Chris Jericho is a personal favourite of mine, had some hilarious moments in WCW and some great matches too but he only really started excelling once he'd made the move to WWE. So including him seems a little off. Shouts out to Kevin Nash, Raven and Sting though.

Ultimo Dragon. He was called Ultimate Dragon in WCW. He was really one of the first men to crossbreed Lucha Libre and Strong Style. It was at his disadvantage as he was putting a lot of guys over but he really was a great Cruiserweight Champion. I'd take him over a lot of guys just because of his ability in the ring and how he as well as a few others (Malenko, Jericho, Mysterio) formed the WCW Cruiserweight Division into an image the WWE could not form it into.

I also have a love/hate thing for Goldberg because most of his matches were the same, especially in the WWE. For me the good out weighs the bad. I marked out like crazy when he hit the Jackhammer on The Giant.

Sting is probably the better choice because his career has stood the test of time and is a great wrestler.

I loved Crow-Sting.

Phantismo or something like that, he only ever had one match, and because of that I never got pissed off at him =P

He was in WWE, not in WCW.

Well here's my list:

STING
Goldberg
Lex Luger-His Battles with the nWo were AWESOME
The Steiner Brothers
Booker T.
Vader
Ron Simmons
The Giant-Before he was the Big Show in the WWE
Arn Anderson

My favourite was probably Goldberg as well. His character just really got me into him when I was a kid and the way they built him up as a monster helped too.

A close second would be Sting.

He was not the best wrestler, but the presentation of Goldberg was great and he brought some of the sickest power offense ever. A move that he used that impressed me every time is the Gorrila Press into the Power Slam. Mark Henry should "borrow" some Goldberg offense because his is just blah.
