WWE Interested in Bringing Back Several Former WCW Wrestlers?

John Laurinaitis, WWE’s Executive Vice President of Talent Relations, recently went to the creative team with a list of former WCW wrestlers to see if there was any possible interest. Laurinaitis is quite familiar with talent from the dying days of World Championship Wrestling as he joined the promotion in the summer of 2000 as a booker, carrying the role until the company was sold to the World Wrestling Federation in March 2001. Among those still actively wrestling (and not already under contract to WWE or under contract to TNA) from the 2001 roster include Buff Bagwell, Mark Jindrak, Shawn Stasiak, Chuck Palumbo, Shannon Moore, Kaz Hayashi and Sid Vicious.

Shannon Moore was backstage visiting at RAW last night since he lives in North Carolina, and there was some interest in Buff Bagwell a few years back but he never got the call. Bagwell showed up at a WWE event a few years ago with a friend who had an extra ticket. He sat in the crowd wearing a baseball cap down pretty low in an effort not to be recognized, but ended up with fans lining up in the crowd for autographs. He was then approached by Laurinaitis and invited backstage. Laurinaitis said that he might have something for Bagwell, but never called him back.

Regarding Sid, he surprisingly wrestles pretty much like he did just prior to his leg injury in 2001, but indicated to Laurinatis last year that he might not be able to pass a WWE Wellness test.

But the thing is, will they actually use these people to the best of their abilities? Because as far as I know, the WWE bring back wrestlers for no reason, see: D'Lo Brown.

Not too much of note really. I was hoping for wrestlers the caliber of the WCW/ECW invasion of WWE, but I guess I was too optimistic about that.

Hmm, I'd like to see Jindrak and Shannon Moore back.. both of them I thought were rather decent, but neither got to show much potential. But, tbh, I don't see it happening.. and even if it did, like Inah said, they most likely wouldn't use any of them properly.
