JCP/WCW guys that weren't in WWF
I was going through my JCP/WCW 1983-2001 files and cross-referencing people my WWWF/WWF/WWE 1970-2012 data.
These were the people that had 100+ JCP/WCW matches but I didn't find any records for WWF events.
I tried to grab all of the less obvious name changes (for instance, Tom Zenk's partner Johnny Gunn = Salvatore Sincere a.k.a. Tom Brandi in WWF).
Here was my list:
I did find at least one WWF match for the other 231 people with 100+ matches....
Hector Guerrero: 222 matches from 1986/1987 and mini-run back in 1997.
He was the Gooker and I believe it was him in the suit for the Gimmick Battle Royal at WM.
Others that had a lot of JCP/WCW matches...
Closest thing I noticed was:

* Ice Train: yeah, he had at least 99 WCW matches (1993-1994, 1996-1997 and again 2000-2001) but nothing WWF-esque.
* Jimmy Garvin: There are a few times he was cards with WWF guys, but not true WWF events...

These were the people that had 100+ JCP/WCW matches but I didn't find any records for WWF events.
I tried to grab all of the less obvious name changes (for instance, Tom Zenk's partner Johnny Gunn = Salvatore Sincere a.k.a. Tom Brandi in WWF).
Here was my list:
- Bobby Eaton - Eaton's legacy in JCP/WCW (1983-2001-wise) is enormous lasting longer than even Ric Flair with over 2,100 matches between 1985-2001. He would have been too old after WCW folder. (2,134 JCP/WCW matches 1985-2000)
- Sting - Arguably, the biggest WCW star never to go to WWF. (1,652 JCP/WCW matches from 1987 to 2001)
- Nikita Koloff - "The Russian Nightmare" alleges that Vince wanted him for WM2/WM3 but they couldn't come to agreement. Meltzer didn't buy that but did confirm that "Hole-in-one" Barry Darsow wanted Koloff as part of Demolition when Eadie had health issues. (823 matches for 1984-1988, 226 matches 1991/1992 = 1,050 matches)
- Stan Lane - part of the Midnight Express, the Fabulous Ones and the original Heavenly Bodies (prior to Jimmy Del Ray joining), I don't think Lane wrestled for WWF. However, he did join the fed in the early 90's to announce on Superstars, Wrestling Challenge and Colosseum Video matches. (776 matches 1987-1990)
- Dennis Condrey - Midnight Expresser from 1985-1989 with 636 matches. I believe he ended up down at FCW as a Trainer for a short stint in April-May 2010.
- Manny Fernandez - The Raging Bull had 554 matches from 1984-1987 but my favorite of his were the random late 1990's jobs to all sorts of guys including Brian Pillman (3/95), Bill Goldberg (12/97) and Chris Jericho (twice! 10/96 & 1/99).
- Stevie Ray - His brother Booker similar/more matches in WWF (750+ vs 670), but I don't believe Stevie ever wrestled for the Fed. The original Kane had 528 matches between 1993-2001.
- Magnum TA - 435 matches between 1984-1986. Car accident cut his wrestling career short.
- Alex Wright - The one wrestler who should have been on Dancing with the Stars, his 1994-2001 career (400 matches) started young and meant that he left the WCW collapse at the tender age of 26.
Others: - Disco Inferno: 373 matches from 1995-2001
- Denny Brown: 365 matches from 1984-1987
- Joel Deaton: This Thunderfoot had 332 matches from 1983-1987
- Ole Anderson: 252 matches during his 1985-1987 run. What a softie!
- Jack Victory: 282 matches during his 1988-1991 run. We shall call you Jacko.
- Mark Fleming: 252 matches from 1983-1988.
- Kendall Windham: 193 matches from 1987-1989 and brief 1998/1999 50-match return with the West Texas Rednecks. Perhaps Vince didn't need phony bills floating around the lockerroom.
- Johnny Weaver: 244 matches 1983-1985. Broadcaster, Sleepholder, Blonde dude.
- Sgt Buddy Lee Parker: 225 matches from 1989 to 1999 and Goldberg's partner in the dying days. Not invited to Batista's gym openings (or closings).
- Prince Iaukea: 225 matches from 1996-2001. Perhaps now that WWE is in the terrible movie business, his work from Ready to Rumble will be in demand.
- Rufus R Jones: 225 matches from 1983 to 1986
- Rocky King: 224 matches from 1985 to 1988. The original Rock.
- Mark Youngblood: 213 matches from 1983 to 1984
- Rip Morgan: 208 matches from 1988 to 1991
- Al Greene: 193 matches from 1989 to 1991, 1993, 1998-2001.
- Jody Hamilton: 192 matches from 1983 to 1984
- La Parka: 183 matches from 1997 to 2001
- Steve McMichael: 155 matches from 1996 to 1999. Though, he was with LT at Wrestlemania.
- Bunkhouse Buck: 155 matches from 1994 to 1997. Jimmy Golden did appear at Swagger's daddy-o on Smackdown!.
- Kaz Hayashi: 154 matches from 1998 to 2001. Back to Japan with the youngster!
- PN News: 147 matches from 1991 to 1992. Perfect fodder for Otto's tournaments.
- Vampiro: 144 matches from 1999 to 2001. Even ICP got to compete in WWF for goodness sake!
- Brian Adidas: 143 matches in 1984. WCCW's own...
- Silver King: 138 matches from 1997 to 2001
- Evan Karagias: 137 matches from 1998 to 2001. They let Shannon Moore have a job for year but not Evan. What does that say?
- Kenny Kaos: 134 matches from 1996 to 1999. Rick Steiner's favorite tag partner.
- Chris Champion: 130 matches from 1987 to 1988 with 97 matches, and 33 more matches in 1993.
- Gene Anderson: 127 matches from 1983 to 1984
- Chris Adams: 121 matches from 1987 (22 matches) and a 1998-1999 mini-run (93 matches)
- Lash Laroux: 121 matches from 1999 to 2001. Cajun power!
- Dave Sullivan: 118 matches from 1993 to 1995. Evad Batista would have been a fun gimmick.
- Super Calo: 117 matches from 1996 to 1999. Not normal Calo.
- Dave Shelton: 117 matches from 1987 to 1991
- Glacier: 115 matches from 1996 to 1999
- Ranger Ross: 111 matches from 1989 to 1990. Nick Gage stole a page from him!
- Jim & Mack Jeffers: 111 matches from 1985 to 1987
- Ben Alexander: 105 matches from 1983 to 1985
- Robbie Rage: 104 matches from 1996 to 1998. In another era, Vince would have found room in his heart for High Dosage.
- Marcus Laurinaitis: 102 matches from 1987 to 1993. Ace's brother... the Terminator.
- Sgt Craig Pittman: 100 matches from 1995 to 1997. He's a fighter!
I did find at least one WWF match for the other 231 people with 100+ matches....
Hector Guerrero: 222 matches from 1986/1987 and mini-run back in 1997.
He was the Gooker and I believe it was him in the suit for the Gimmick Battle Royal at WM.
Others that had a lot of JCP/WCW matches...
- Jimmy Garvin (see below post for a list of the near-hits for Garvin in WWF)

- Scott Norton - wrestled Bob Holly once in Sunrise, FL in 1994
- Tommy Rogers - had two matches on one WWF show (against Brian Christopher and Bobby Fulton)
- Abdullah the Butcher - see below

- Crush (w/ Mr. Fuji) defeated Paul Jones via submission with the head vice at 1:58
- WWF Tag Team Champions the Quebecars (w/ Johnny Polo) defeated Paul Jones & Chaz Ware at 1:47 when Pierre pinned Ware following the Tower of Quebec; after the bout, the champions hit the Boston Crab / legdrop combo on Jones - The Renegade - had one match in WWF in 8/8/93 with The Brooklyn Brawler defeating Rio Lord of the Jungle
- Buzz Tyler - would be on St Louis shows but nothing
- Bobby Jaggers - jobbed twice around Halloween 1989 (HBK, Rockers)
- Steve Casey - jobbed for the Brooklyn Brawler as part of the Rampage 91 tour, and then came back in 1997 to lose to Jerry Lynn and Scott Putski. How very, very random.

- Scott Armstrong - besides his run as a ref (and commentator), he did have the one match with CM Punk!
- Rip Rogers - did job twice in 1995 to Adam Bomb and the Smoking Gunns; wasn't he also a OVW trainer?
- Joe Gomez - put over the Wild Samoans, the Iron Sheik and Salvatore Bellomo back in 1984 and re-emerged in 1996 to job for the Godwinns
- Lenny Lane - Ab cream extraordinare jobbed in 2000 (Sho Funaki), 2002 beat Bull & Doug Basham (with Mark Jindrak), Paul London beat him in 2004, Tomko killed him in 2004, La Resitance beat Mr Anderson & Lenny Lane in 2004 and in 2008 Jack Swagger beat him up.
