| 0:00.0 | W was nothing if not chaotic and these wrestlers had runs there that were so |
| 0:05.0 | forgettable you'd think Ted Turner was handing out Nitell for every |
| 0:09.1 | appearance. I'm Andy from what culture wrestling and here are ten short-lived W.C.W. runs that you totally forgot about. |
| 0:18.0 | Number 10, Camala. |
| 0:20.0 | One of the most recognizable monsters in wrestling history thanks to his Ugandan giant character, |
| 0:25.7 | Kamala had semi retired by 1993, returning to the occupation that put food on his table before he became a terrifying wrestler as a truck driver. |
| 0:36.2 | This lasted until this summer of 1995, when Hulk Hogan successfully talked Kamala out of retirement and into a place in that wonderful |
| 0:45.1 | stable, The Dungeon of Doom, in which Kamala lasted about three months before leaving W.C.W. |
| 0:52.8 | But during this time he did get to participate in the wonderfully deranged |
| 0:57.1 | Doomsday cage match. |
| 0:58.7 | So, you know, I guess that's one, uh, classic on his W.C.W resume. I don't know. Number nine, Edge. |
| 1:07.8 | Adam Copeland's one W.C. W. W. W. appearance went down on the 3rd of February 1996 when he wrestled one |
| 1:15.0 | men aka haku on an episode of W cew Pro. His ring name wasn't Edge, Adam |
| 1:21.7 | Copeland, or even Sexton Hardcastle, but Damon Stryker. |
| 1:26.0 | And he got himself all the way messed up in just over two minutes. |
| 1:30.0 | Three months later, he was making around $210 a week doing jobs for |
| 1:34.8 | W. W. E. And it's safe to say that this worked out pretty well for him in the long run. |
| 1:39.9 | Number 8, Jake Roberts. Jake the Snake left WWE after threatening to no show WrestleMania 8 if the company weren't going to release him after the event. |
| 1:50.0 | He wanted to go to W.C.W. but, hey-ho, the 90-day non-compete clause said hell no. |
| 1:56.5 | Still, he reached an agreement worth around 3.5 million dollars a year with Executive Kip Allen Frey. So far, so good, but Frey was gone just three days |
| 2:07.4 | before the non-compete expired. Jake was left high and dry. In came Bill Watts who offered him a |
| 2:14.4 | paltry $200,000 a year. That's obviously a lot less than 3.5 |
