#3 Edge
Edge wrestled in the Canadian independent circuit for a while before making his way to WWE. Amidst this switch, Edge wrestled in WCW for an extremely brief period of time. This was when WCW was chock full of WWE veterans, and the up-and-coming Superstars weren't getting the spotlight at all.

A rare clip shows Edge going at it against Meng on an episode of WCW Pro. Meng made quick work of the rookie and defeated him via submission. WCW didn't do much with Edge after this appearance. Later, WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart trained Edge and Christian for a while at his house and was impressed enough to put on a good word for both wrestlers in WWE.
Edge went on to become a multi-time WWE Champion and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2012. Even though he was a part of WCW's setup, it was during his rookie years as a wrestler. And like most of his contemporaries during that period, the Rated R Superstar was overlooked, forcing him to ply his trade elsewhere.
If the WCW ever made a list of superstars they regretted releasing owing to a lack of talent back in the day, Edge would be one of the guys taking top honors.
