10 WWE Stars Who Flopped In WCW
It has been 22 years since Bret Hart's career was effectively ended...
2. Barry Darsow
After six really good years as one half of Demolition (Smash) and, erm, Repo Man, Barry Darsow headed to WCW in 1994 as a totally different character.
He'd worked for Jim Crockett Promotions under his given name before making it to WWE in the late-80s, but this time would be coming in as Blacktop Bully, a truck driver with a bad attitude.
It wasn't the greatest gimmick in the world and Darsow wouldn't be around long enough to see where it could go.
As a member of the Stud Stable, Bully primarily feuded with Dustin Rhodes for the few months that he was there, leading to the fateful King of the Road match at the Uncensored pay-per-view.
The concept of the King of the Road match was that the two men would fight in the back of a moving flatbed truck, the winner being the man who was able to incapacitate his opponent enough to blow a horn.
It was a dodgy gimmick and the match itself wasn't good or anything. Worse still, it ended up costing both (and road agent Mike Graham) their jobs, because they both bladed, something that was strictly against WCW policy at the time.
Darsow returned to WCW in 1997 and '98 as an enhancement talent.
