Over the years, Vince took on his fair share of WCW guys including consummate professionals Sting, Ric Flair, Randy Savage, DDP, Goldberg and Booker T, backstage politicians Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash and Bret Hart, and even self-destructive malcontents Scott Hall, Lex Luger, Scott Steiner, Sid Vicious, Ultimate Warrior, Curt Hennig and Buff Bagwell.
As it is, Vince somehow saw value in Sting and Flair despite being WCW stars, saw value in Savage despite his leaving WWF on terrible terms in 1994, saw value in DDP for his DDP Yoga health program, saw value in Goldberg despite not letting him work like he did in WCW ‘97-‘98, saw value in Booker T despite making him work hard for 5+ years prior to his proper main event push, saw plenty of value in Hogan because he can draw fans and is a megastar that non-wrestling fans in the mainstream know about, saw plenty of value in Nash because he is a smart dude, saw plenty of value in Bret despite his pure hatred for Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair, saw value in Hall because Vince, HHH and higher ups like him despite his substance abuse issues, saw value in Luger despite Vince not having a clue on how to properly book Luger like a WWF main event star, saw value in Sid despite his constant walkouts on wrestling in favor of softball, saw value in Warrior despite his contract disputes, and saw value in Hennig since he didn’t have a bad reputation for working with talent despite substance abuse issues.
Now Steiner had two WWF/E runs, both of which he was only there for short periods. But compared to similarly self-destructive malcontents like Hall, Luger, Sid, Warrior and Hennig, somehow Vince saw no value in Steiner and Bagwell as WWF/E based workers even though Vince saw a lot of value in other WCW guys.
