| 0:00.0 | Big names like Chris Jericho, The Giant and The Radicals all shocked the system when they joined |
| 0:04.4 | the WWF, and WCW's foundations were rocked by the arrivals of Lex Luger Bret Hart and the New |
| 0:10.5 | World Order. All of these names were big stars when they joined their new homes, but did you |
| 0:14.5 | know that some of the most famous faces in WWE history were once completely faceless in WCW? |
| 0:20.7 | I'm Cy for WhatCulture.com and these are seven WCW jobbers who became WWE World Champions. |
| 0:27.2 | 7. Rob Van Damme Before he was changing the game in ECW, |
| 0:31.1 | Rob Van Damme was changing his name for WCW, calling himself Robby V, |

| 1:23.4 | Division, but this was definitely as high as he was going to go. And if we know one thing about |
| 1:27.6 | RVD, it's that he likes being high. Nice. Number 6 AJ Styles. AJ Styles, the man who helped revolutionise |
| 1:35.5 | American wrestling throughout the 2000s and the owner of the caronest haircut to ever Karen |
| 1:40.4 | was indeed a member of the WCW roster in 2001. The phenomenal one wrestling under the name Air |
