Mean Mark.

Booker got treated like crap (punked by Rock, HHH…) but managed to turn things around and had a lot of upper mid card success.

Guys who came over before WCW went out of business like Jericho, Benoit, Eddie, and Foley don't count. Sid's success in WWF came well before the demise of WCW. Flair can't be compared to anyone else, really, and they put the belt on him in his first WWF stint before WCW went under. Lmao at calling HHH a WCW guy.

No. Many of those guys came in to WWE just before Vince bought WCW. C’mon the writing was on the wall. But keep moving the goalposts to prove your point

Goldberg was the only one I could think of who came in after wcw went under and was booked well

Steiner - this one may have been Scott's fault if I'm being honest as he just wasn't in shape to do much with, still he was booked to lose to HHH in his first match in so....

Booker T - was mid card for YEARS before finally getting recognized with a comedy king gimmick and the title

DDP - instantly buried and booked like a chump

Sting - 0-2 and had his neck broken, the match vs HHH was the weirdest thing I've ever seen in terms of the booking and commentary I mean wtf.

Vader - buried by HBK mainly

Most of the ECW guys who came in I felt were used at about their level which was mid card, can guys like the dudleys and rvd really complain about their booking?

Others that come to mind are Stacey Keibler and Torrie Wilson. But maybe that depends on what your definition of F’d over means ;-)

Um, no, that was a great point. Vince's own actions show a clear bitterness for former WCW guys who came in after WCW went under. Goldberg is literally the only old WCW guy who didn't get booked like chit.

People blame Scott Steiner for being in bad shape, but he was booked terribly too. They booked him as a face to get squashed by HHH, stupidest thing ever.

Also, no need to take it so personally. It's an internet message forum, don't get riled so easily. It's not that serious.

You're trying to prove a point that Vince royally screwed everyone that came from another company that he didn't create from his own mind. My point is that's not entirely true and yeah there have been some from WCW and ECW that didn't go over well, but I gave you a list who did and then you decided to clarify that it had to be AFTER WCW collapse in order for it to be more people that Vince screwed up, but regardless if it was before or after WCW, there were quite a few people from the competition that went over well.

And you can add Stevie Richards to that list

I'm really not sure when it comes to Scott, he was in BAD shape, he just couldn't wrestle at top level at that stage. I do think HHH purpousley gassed him up though, he was a good enough worker to cover for Scott but chose not to.

Do we know if Scott was originally supposed to get his win back over HHH.

Vince knew Scott as well so I'm just not totally sure that he was planned on being buried.

Rey Mysterio is probably the most successful former WCW guy signed by WWE after March of '01. He's had a great run with the company.
