5 Wrestlers that wrestled in WWE but did better in WCW

#4 ‘American Dream’ Dusty Rhodes

Dusty Rhodes was a crucial cog that helped run the machine that was WCW

The late ‘American Dream' played an important role in the rise of the National Wrestling Alliance, and World Championship Wrestling. He wore many hats during his time there, both in the ring and behind the scenes.

Whether he was a World Champion or the head booker, Dusty Rhodes was a crucial cog that helped run the machine that was WCW. He had notable feuds with the likes of Ric, Harley Race, and Nikita Koloff, and in the process made everyone in the ring with him all the better for having been part of it.

At the end of the 80s, Dusty departed WCW and joined WWE. While he was there, with his charm and personality, he quickly became a fan favourite. Rhodes engaged in some notable feuds with the likes of Randy Savage and Ted DiBiase.

His short time there was more notable for the feuds he had, but couldn't compare to what he achieved in WCW. We could argue that his role was unlike what it was in WCW, but his time in WWE doesn't hold the same clout that it did down south.
