The Monday Night Wars saw a lot of stars jumping ships. Almost every Superstar that was in WWE's roster during that time had a history with WCW. For instance, Steve Austin, Triple H, Undertaker and many others were former WCW superstars. But Shawn Michaels had a different story. He never wrestled for WCW even when he had the company was so high to bring him in.

Shawn stayed with WWE despite all the battles that he had with his personal demons. A wrestler who went through such difficulties would have easily left the company. But Shawn didn’t. He still has a legends contract with WWE and is a coach at the Performance Center, which only shows Shawn's dedication to the promotion.

What comes to your mind when you hear about WCW? The answers may range from NWO to Eric Bischoff. But few will come up with the name of Sting. The Icon was part of the company when it was still the Jim Crockett promotions. He then stuck around through all the transition period and ended up being the face of WCW.

He also has a rare record of wrestling in the first and last main event of WCW Nitro. And once WCW went bankrupt, Sting refused to join WWE. This stalemate stood for more than a decade before he finally gave in and signed a deal with Vince McMahon.

In Vince McMahon's own words, The Undertaker is the most loyal employee that he has ever hired. Taker started off his career in WCW and when it didn’t go as he planned, he joined WWE. The rest is history. Taker did everything in his power to keep his kayfabe image intact. He was successful in doing this as well.

At the same time, the way in which he worked for WWE makes it impossible to even imagine seeing Taker somewhere else. Taker wrestling in WrestleManias despite his physical condition is another proof of his loyalty towards Vince McMahon. The fans will always remember him as the most loyal servant of WWE.

Tommy Dreamer

It would be a big surprise to see Tommy Dreamer's name on top of the list. He has never achieved things that John Cena or Undertaker did, but Tommy was loyal. He went through the worst possible times with ECW but never abandoned the promotion that made him who he is today. He dedicated his entire career to the Philadelphia promotion.

There were instances of Tommy working without pay for months just because he loved the company. Today, ECW is synonymous with Tommy Dreamer and rightfully so. Some might argue that Tommy would have struggled in other promotions even if he had moved. But due to his loyalty, Tommy stayed with ECW until it went bankrupt.
