10 Biggest WCW Signings
WCW had some huge signings during their history
In the professional wrestling business, a big new signing can completely change the game, opening up new and exciting avenues when it comes to potential matches and storylines.
This can have a profoundly positive effect on business, as WCW discovered on many occasions. World Championship Wrestling signed a lot of talent, either as free agents or directly from the opposition, particularly during the 1990s but, out of all of their new arrivals, none were bigger than these.
It certainly was where the big boys played. These are the 10 biggest WCW signings.
10. Sid Vicious
Sycho, Vicious, Justice – whatever you want to call him, Sid was a huge star in the 90s both literally and figuratively.
Having first made his name in WCW as a member of the Skyscrapers tag team and then as a Horseman, Sid tended to flip-flop back and forwards between the two companies, depending on the softball schedule and any overseas attempted scissor assault charges.
The former WWE Champion returned to WCW at the 1999 Great American Bash, joining up with the likewise Randy Savage and his Team Madness maniacs.
The arrival of The Millennium Man was a big boost to WCW, who were clearly being left behind in the Monday Night Wars at that point. There was no helping the company by then, really, but Sid lent much star power and fans really responded to him, whether he was a babyface or heel.
The Master and Ruler of the World headlined some major pay-per-views and had a pretty decent run with the World Heavyweight Title, too before WCW hit the reset button.
Never the greatest worker in the world, he nevertheless had an undeniable aura and charisma and was a boon to WCW’s diminishing main event scene.
