OVW Class of '02, this is not.

Cooley is highly underrated. He had some great stuff with Adrian Street back in the day.

The Apters ran several of these "WCW newcomers" articles I can recall off hand. One in the summer of 89 to plug Pillman, Hall and at least one more guy. Then in 1990 there was one with Dustin, Curtis Hughes, Dutch Mantel, State Patrol and several others.

---
Maybe this is just my perception, but it seems the Apters pushed Cooley quite a bit considering he was never a big star outside of Alabama/Continental. He did get some NWA title shots IIRC.

Looks like Cooley lasted all of 15 or so matches for this run. He beat some jobbers and State Patrol on TV and did jobs at house shows for Bigelow and Harley Race (in St Louis).

I'm pretty sure Cooley made it to WCW in 1995 for World War 3.

Looking at his Cagematch though, Wendell Cooley was active as recently as 2019 though!

I was really bummed we didn't get Vader vs Giant after they teased it.

I guess I mixed him up in my head with Pez Whatley being in it and the Apters doing a (fake) interview with him about how this was his last chance to become a World champ.

Not leaning enough into wrestling fetishism yet so I can't make a decision.

I feel like I brought this exact topic up recently. If they were able to convince Jericho to stay, he would have been a great Starchild. Kanyon would have been a great backup choice or he could have been the Catman if Jericho decided to not jump to WWF for this dumb BS. Idk what '99 WCW roster member would have been weird and cosmic enough to pull off Spaceman.

Van Hammer, fool!

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I was going to say Van Hammer but he friggin sucks and you know it. He's more Tommy Thayer than Ace Frehley.

The Sandman Says There Were Plans For Him To Join Raven's Flock In WCW | Fightful News

The Sandman's WCW run was almost very different.

[Valeyard]

Sandman should have stolen all the money and become a rich Homer Simpson/King Ralph gimmick.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Man, that article made me imagine and fantasy book a feud that only I would've enjoyed..Kevin Nash Vs Hak in proverbial Battle of Who Could Care Less (tm Ben Folds Five).

 

[Valeyard]

Tacky as it might sound on the surface, Sandman/Scott Hall would've been legit fun at one point. Sandman was made to sell those punches.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

It looks like Nash and Hak did have a hardcore match on the 4-29-1999 episode of Thunder so it looks like I know what I'm firing up on Peacock tonight.

The only good part of Sandy in WCW was that he got into the best shape of his life before returning to ECW and putting on, arguably, his best in-ring work.

 

[Epic for the Summer]

Sandman was pretty jacked when he got to WWE in the late 2000s.
