24. Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat

Steamboat made his WCW debut after initially competing in both WWE and for Jim Crockett Promotions. His surprise appearance in a tag team match with Eddie Gilbert against Ric Flair and Barry Windham got Steamboat a NWA Title bout against Flair, which Steamboat won. The two battled over the title for the remainder of that year, with Steamboat ultimately losing.

From there, he won WCW’s tag titles, the Television Championship and a United States Championship. While collecting those victories, Steamboat also developed an exciting rivalry with Steve Austin.
