I totally forgot that Kanyon killed himself. Poor bastard.

The Top 8 I agree were good, after that there was so much wrong with who placed were.

Good list, except they could have put somebody else in Dennis Rodman's place. I don't see Tully Blanchard or Magnum T.A. on the list. I would put them on the list over Dennis Rodman. He's not a wrestler so that confuses me. I thought he was entertaining as part of the nWo, but he's not a wrestler. I would put Jarrett higher. I agree with what the top ten looks like. Sting and Ric Flair definitely should be 1 and 2. I think Hogan, Goldberg, Savage, and especially Luger had a big impact in WCW. IN 1997, DDP, Savage, and Luger were THE guys.

To be honest, top 25/50/100 lists are pretty much stupid all together. Top 10s are usually pretty obvious but once you get outside of the top 10 its mostly filled with utter crap of names.

This isn't a bad list but, I would argue Hogan had a bigger impact on WCW than Flair or Sting. Remember when Hogan went to WCW in 1994 they actually started drawing bigger PPV numbers than WWF at that time, which lead to Monday Nitro and NWO Heel turn and the Monday Night Wars, Nitro vs Raw which forced Vince and company into the Attitude era, which lead to the greatest mainstream popularity for pro wrestling since the 1980s.

It's driving me insane that nobody else feels Kanyon should not be anywhere near this list, let alone on it. He did nothing noteworthy or memorable, unless you consider him being DDP's lackey, and jobbing to Glacier on WCW Saturday Night dressed like a Mortal Combat character enough to be on the list. Oh wait it was all those singles titles, legendary feuds, huge angles, big time victories that he never had that warranted his inclusion on this list. Seriously, the only noteworthy things he did in his career happened outside the ring, such coming out of the closet, and killing himself. If his inclusion on this list is a joke, then it's a bad one. I'm a fan of the Mortis gimmick, myself. But even aside from that, the feuds with Raven and DDP, along with his time as a member of the triad were both very good and he had a lot of really good matches in WCW. He was also really over with WCW crowds at the time, and the only reason he wasn't a bigger star was the awful booking at the time.

maybe i'm off but I wouldn't have put Rodman, Zybysko, Hayes and Sullivan on that list. Sure you could argue that Larry Z was a big part of the WCW contingent against the NWO and Sullivan had massive exposure that he would have never had in WWF, but... there's so many guys that seem more deserving. Just off the top of my head as guys that were more involved with the in ring product, well... vampiro, fit finlay, LA PARKA, Sonny Onoo..

WCW existed before the Monday Night Wars, and this list is supposed to span November of 88 until Deathbed WCW. Zybysko was part of the Dangerous Alliance, formed a great tag team with Arn Anderson, and held the World Television Title. If I were compiling a list Larry would be miles ahead of Kanyon and all the others you mentioned. Also why on earth do you feel Sonny Onoo deserved a spot?
