My Review of WWE.com 50 Greatest WCW stars

So I just read WWE.com's 50 Greatest WCW Stars list. For the most part, I agree with the list. I mean no doubt in my mind, Sting is the number one greatest performer in WCW history. Never left the company, stayed from beginning to end. Nevermind the fact that WCW ruined a chance to have a classic series of matches between him and Bret Hart, but that's neither here nor there.

Look, I know he did what he did. I don't condone what he did. Killing yourself, wife, and son? It was beyond wrong what he did. But...if we were completely honest with ourselves, the fact that Chris Benoit, yes I said Chris Benoit, is not on this list, and Dennis Rodman is doesn't make any sense to me. It's laughable. Dennis Rodman is a sexually confused crazy guy that came to WCW for a cup of coffee and some danishes, and all of the sudden he's one of the 50 greatest in WCW? Wrong!! Where's Psychosis? La Parka? Heck put Disco Inferno on the list. Denis Rodman? I give, the man was a great rebounder in the NBA, but that has nothing to do with World Championship Wrestling. Give me a break...

Back to Chris Benoit. The man had some classic matches in WCW. The main one that comes to mind is the tribute match he had with Bret Hart for Owen. He was one of many people that was so poorly used in WCW. I remember Larry Zbyszko many times calling Benoit, "A Wrestling Machine." Again, I'm  not condoning what he did, but talking strickly WCW, he deserves to be on this list. Case closed.

Bobby Eaton I think was underrated. Probably one of the most underrated in history. I saw Bobby Eaton as one of those performers that was gifted but didn't have that it factor that would make him memorable. I have the upmost respect for Bobby though. Glad to see he made the list.

Brian Pillman making the list did my heart good. Somebody in WWE please put the guy in the Hall of Fame already! What's the problem here? Eddie Guerrero died of basically the same thing Brian Pillman did, right? And when did Eddie get in the HOF? I rest my case. Don't give me that, "What did Brian Pillman do?" What? What?!?! How about one of the true innovators of what is now known as "Attitude." Before there was Stone Cold, there was Brian Pillman. Before there were "pipe bombs" there were "loose cannons." Pillman was a gift onthe mic as well in the ring. If it wasn't for a Hummer accident, no telling where he would've gone in his career. All I'm saying is, he's a Hall of Famer in my opinion.

Again, for the most part, I liked the list WWE.com put together. Here's hoping that Sting at least makes an appearance on WWE television before he gets in the Hall of Fame. Going out in a small destruction of a company where starts are quitting like TNA, is not an ideal way to go out, in my opinion.
