All Elite Wrestling is currently the biggest competitor to WWE. Back in the day, WCW was the biggest competitor for the Stamford-based promotion. Recently, WWE Hall of Famer DDP named the wrestlers who he thinks would have made it big in WCW.
While speaking on the Casino Beats podcast, DDP shared the list of WWE Superstars who he thinks would succeed in WCW. One of the names that he praised was the former WWE United States Champion Logan Paul. DDP also mentioned the fact that Logan Paul just entered the business and is getting pushed could be hard to watch for the stars who have been putting in the work for the past few decades.
“And I’ll tell you, as crazy as that sounds, man, Logan Paul would’ve. This kid, he has no right to be that good. Now, he does have an incredible instructor and Shane Hurricane Helms. Because Shane, he can really teach someone how to be in that ring. There’s very few people who have real heat. He has real heat and it’s not turn to channel heat. It’s where you wanna see him get his ass whooped heat, and it’s pretty damn amazing and frustrating if you’re someone like you just cut a promo on, Karrion Kross. You know when a kid comes like this and gets pushed to the moon, I’ve been busting my ass for 20 years, so that’s hard to watch. It would be hard for me to watch too, if I was there working at that time. But the son of a bitch delivers man.”
DDP believes Karrion Kross would have been one of the biggest stars in the WCW Era
The WWE Hall of Famer also mentioned that he sees a lot of stars who could have been a top star in WCW. He named stars such as Drew McIntyre, Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, LA Knight, and current WWE World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso.
“Oh God. A lot of ’em. A lot of them. I look right away to Drew McIntyre, Roman Reigns. Of course Cody would’ve done incredible. I’m very proud of Jey Uso. That kid got himself over big time, so proud of him… LA Knight. La Knight would’ve freaking killed it.”
The WWE Hall of Famer also went on to mention that his favorite at the moment is former NXT World Champion Karrion Kross. DDP is convinced that Kross is the total package.
“The guy I put my money on right now, the guy that’s not in that mix – he made a bit of a statement at WrestleMania, I think you’re gonna see big things from Karrion Kross, because this cat, he’s a shooter man. He is a brown belt Jiu Jitsu. He can go for that arm bar where he breaks arms and breaks two baseball bats. I mean, this cat is the real deal. He’s every bit of 6 ‘4, 6 ‘5 in 280lbs, and has a gorgeous wife who’s so entertaining. You really don’t often see where someone’s as entertaining in front of the camera as he is in the back. Like, have you ever seen Karrion do Jesse Ventura. Oh my God. When you get done with this podcast, who’s ever watching, pull up Karrion Kross Vs Jesse Ventura,” DDP said.
Do you agree with DDP’s list?
