Scott,
I'm trying to come up a list of guys who had two separate runs in the WWF and two runs in WCW (counting the NWA too).
Meaning guys who jumped from promotion A to promotion B, then back to A, and finally back to B again.
So far I've come up with Bulldog, Jarrett, Sid, Flair, Rude, and Ricky Steamboat but I'm sure I'm missing a ton of guys who jumped around like that.
Do any others come to mind?
Thanks.

I'm totally blanking on other ones for some reason. Waltman went WWF to WCW to WWF and probably would have jumped back if WCW hadn't died before he had a chance. Jim Ross, I suppose, would count.
Dustin Runnels?

ReplyDeleteWith some ECW breaks in between, Shane Douglas.
ReplyDeleteSteven/William Regal
ReplyDeleteWith an ECW break in between, Bam Bam Bigelow.
ReplyDeleteHall and Nash
ReplyDeleteHow would Jim Ross count? NWA/WCW then to WWF/WWE...
ReplyDeleteBret Hart would be WWF to WCW back to WWE...
Yep...NWA/WCW then to the WWF back to WCW then back to WWE...
ReplyDeleteTerry Funk I think would qualify...I think 3 times?
ReplyDeleteLOD
ReplyDeleteFunk:
ReplyDeleteNWA
WWF mid-80s
WCW
WWF late 90s
WCW 2000
... unless I'm missing a WWF run, he's at 2.5.
Dustin Rhodes too
ReplyDeleteNot 100% sure on this one... dates?
ReplyDeletedo you count his One Night Stand stuff from 2006? Not sure if I would, but I guess that could technically make 3.
ReplyDeleteIt's borderline at best.
ReplyDeleteFired from WCW for making Goldberg look bad, joins WWF in 1998, wrestles on RAW, is too fat so they fire him, returns to WCW, leaves again, wrestles dynamite match with Benoit at Pillman show, rehired by WWF, renamed "William."
ReplyDeletePerhaps he meant Schiavone? But even then he didn't come back to the WWF again (though I wish he had).

ReplyDeleteWWF (1990)
WCW (1991-1995)
WWF (95-99)
WCW (99-2001)

There's probably some bouncing he did between WWF and TNA, Too.
He was a dynamic dude in 1989 before he was in WWF in 1990.
ReplyDeleteThis is a stretch and a bit of a technicality, but... Mick Foley

Beat you to it.
ReplyDeleteAh, yes. But you're still missing a WCW.
ReplyDeleteExactly.
ReplyDeleteWhere?
ReplyDeleteI could have sworn that second WCW was missing first time I saw this.

WWE round 2 was pretty sad for both but it still counts.

ReplyDeleteI believe Barry Windham started out in Mid-Atlantic in 1980 or 1981, so his track record reads as follows:
ReplyDeleteNWA
WWF

WCW

I am pretty sure he holds the record for the most jumps.
Oh, and if you count his work as a road agent, add one more jump to the WWF.
