5 wrestlers that wrestled in WCW but did better in the WWE

At one time, the current COO of the WWE first began competing in WCW

#3 Triple H

Before he was the cerebral assassin and The Game, Triple H would ‘Terra Ryze’ his opponents

It has often been chronicled that during his time in WCW, Triple H was one of the favourite guys for men such as Kevin Nash and Scott Hall to watch as a performer, when he was then known by the name, Tera Ryzing. As time passed, this talented, well-built athlete became known as Jean-Paul Lévesque, a French aristocrat not unlike the character fans came to know as Hunter Hearst Helmsley in WWE.

However, instead of remaining relegated to the undercard in WCW, he chose to take a chance and leave the promotion to join WWE.

He never had the opportunity to capture a title or have any longstanding feuds in World Championship Wrestling, but what he did gain was valuable experience. It was this experience that allowed him to achieve greatness in WWE.

Despite not being in the WWE Hall of Fame (yet), the Head of Talent Relations and fourteen-time WWE/The World champion, who has also been Intercontinental, European and tag team champion, has cemented his place in wrestling history. He became so much more with the biggest company in the world than he ever was in WCW.
