Accidents
Possibly the most remembered 'debut' of all time was when WCW's fan favorites called out for their new teammate to join them, but this wrestler tripped while bursting through the wall like the Kool-Aid Man, falling and dropping his helmet. Suffice to say, the gimmick was a failure... but it will always be remembered.
Who was The Shockmaster (Fred Ottman)?
This wrestler would go into the record books as having the most championship reigns in WCW, including 5 runs as World Heavyweight Champion, 11 times as Tag-Team Champion, and 6 reigns as World Television Champion.
Who is Booker T?
At the Greatest Royal Rumble in 2018 in Saudi Arabia, a long-running meme clip was made, as this wrestler raced towards the ring and tripped, ending up sliding head-first under the ring apron before managing to come back out and finally enter the Rumble.
Who is Titus O'Neal?
WCW's answer to the Royal Rumble was to make it bigger, but not necessarily better with this event: a 60-wrestler, three-ring battle royal. The wrestlers would be randomly selected to each ring. When 10 wrestlers or less were left in a ring, they'd go to the center ring until only one remained.
What was World War III?
At WWF In Your House in 1995, Jim Ross was interviewing members of the Million Dollar Corporation. This wrestler is asked about people who were skeptical of him taking punishment from Diesel. He stumbled over his words and said "Let me do this again", with JR saying "It's live, pal."
Who was Sycho Sid?
At The Great American Bash 1991, this wrestler won the vacated WCW World Title by defeating Barry Windham in a Steel Cage match. But the contest was overshadowed by the crowd chanting "We Want Flair" throughout, as Ric Flair had been fired and stripped of the belt.
Who is Lex Luger?
It's been twenty years since this wrestler made the decision to punt a baby doll into the crowd, a moment that was supposed to show how serious he was, yet has been laughed at ever since. To be fair, it wasn't his fault.
Who is Gene Snitsky?
This wrestler became the WCW World Champion on January 24th, 2000, winning the vacated title by beating Kevin Nash. However, Nash used his WCW Commissioner powers the next day to strip the wrestler and award the title back to himself... only for this wrestler to win it back the same night. (2000 was rough for WCW)
Who was Sid Vicious?
In another meme-worthy moment, this wrestler ran as hard as he could to the ring during a Smackdown event and slid under the ropes... and kept sliding, eventually falling out the other side and landing outside the ring. It was an impressive feat, even if he didn't plan it.
Who was Paul London?
With Rick Steiner wanting revenge on his brother Scott in 1998, he teamed with Buff Bagwell to go against Scott & The Giant for the WCW World Tag Titles. It was a swerve, as Buff betrayed Rick... but Rick won the titles anyway in a huge moment. Rick would then choose this surprising wrestler to be his tag-team partner.
Who was Kenny Kaos?
