Austin and HHH shouldn't count since they weren't that big in WCW.

That's a terrible reason for not counting Austin and HHH. The fact that they became two of the WWE's biggest stars is very strong evidence that this supposed prejudice against former WCW workers is just a myth.

DDP (3x), The Big Show (2x), Flair (1 and 8x), Vader (3x), Ron Simmons, Booker T(5x), and Goldberg all came to the WWE as former WCW Heavyweight Champions.
DDP ended up as a stalker and lost to Undertaker's wife in a match.
Big Show had the title twice for four months.
Flair held the WWE title twice in the early 90's.
Vader won nothing in WWE.
Ron Simmons came to the WWE as a gladiator, and won the tag titles a couple of times.
Booker's held the Smackdown title once and was crushed by HHH at WM19. (HHH basically said "You're a joke and a con. No black guy will win this title." And he beat Booker with ONE pedigree (Every other top match at WM19 took 2+ finishers.)
Goldberg won the Smackdown title for two months.
I don't consider Austin and HHH real WCW superstars since HHH didn't do anything in WCW (there one year and never really did anything) Austin did win the US title twice, but that's about it.
