Terrible contract signing #3: Tank Abbot
Tank Abbot had a mildly successful Mixed Martial Arts career including a pair of stints with the UFC.
Abbot was known as a legitimate tough man, and had an amateur wrestling background. However, he usually preferred using his fists rather than grappling in his many battles in the octagon. Abbot was never a huge MMA star, but had enough of a presence that WCW took a chance on him and signed Tank to a wrestling contract.
Unfortunately, Abbot was in deplorable physical condition, and his hasty training didn't include many of the fundamentals that pro wrestlers need to learn in order to perform well. Tank looked bad in the ring, so bad that he was quickly downgraded from full-time wrestler to glorified valet for Three Count. With Tank's contract reportedly worth millions, this was a huge waste of money and probably helped contribute to WCW's downfall.
The fact that Tank was initially signed to feud with Goldberg makes the story all the more interesting.
