Ha, so excluding wrestlers that don’t fit your erroneous labels. Good one
No, just clarifying who I was talking about. If you watched WCW around this time, you would know which wrestlers were put into a box and were usually one of the opening matches on the card.
So your telling me that he goes from fighting a lower mid card guy to hogan in PPV main events within 2-3 three months?
Yes, go back and watch the show and look at where Raven ended up after the feud.
You keep going back to DDP, as if it has anything to do with Raven. I've already explained that DDP & Raven were friends. Since DDP had stroke with the company, he could work with anybody he wanted to and thought he could work a good program with Raven. He was right, but it proved the high point of his career and afterwards Raven ended up where he did.
And you still didn’t answer my question about mid card examples.
In fairness, you didn't explain your definition of a lower mid-card which you seem to have a giant stick up your ass about.
This is how I believe WCW treated their card.
The Upper Mid-Card typically consists of guys who work the semi-main matches and occassionally work the main event matches but rarely win the big one. They're not given as much priority as main event talent and can float around the card. An example in WCW around the time of Starrcade 98 would be Bret Hart, Diamond Dallas Page, The Giant, Lex Luger, Curt Hennig and Scott Steiner.
The Mid-Card was similar but they're typically given less opportunities. When they are put together with main event talent, they're rarely portrayed on their level but in general they're treated like somebody. In WCW 98 it was typically by association so guys like Dean Malenko, Chris Benoit, Scott Norton, Konnan, Brian Adams, Steve McMichael, Stevie Ray etc. were your mid-card guys. There were also a few individual acts like Meng, Wrath and Jericho but that's usually how the show was formulated.
I’ll accept he might have been lower to mid card by the end but to say that label covers his wcw run in its entirety is just plain silly
I see it more as he was brought in for one run and when that was over he was relegated to the lower mid-card.
