During the time WWE created the biggest names in sports entertainment such as Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, Kane, Mick Foley and many other names. WCW on the other hand relied on the wrestlers like Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Randy Savage, Kevin Nash and others, in other words, wrestlers that were already famous.
The only wrestler that WCW created back in the time was Goldberg. The man was extremely famous during the time and the biggest answer to WWE. Such a gimmick was quite uncommon and naturally fans loved it. She had an undefeated run of 171 matches before it was finally broken by Kevin Nash, and that was also not clean. Goldberg was the only star that WCW created during the monday night wars.
