WCW had a lot of things going to help the company boost their popularity. Given the fact that they had Turner on their side, cartoons were a possibility. They apparently had two in development at one point.

Allan, a popular Internet Wrestling Community account, posted a few still images from a cancelled WCW cartoon. The idea came about in 1999, but it was never officially given the green light.

A different idea did actually get produced to some degree. “ChowdaHeads” was produced by Eli Roth and it was supposed to air in between segments.

WCW apparently had plans to do an d show in 1999. Nothing was ever officially greenlit, there was concept art produced for one idea.

Another idea was going to be produced by Eli Roth. It was going to be called ‘Chowda Heads’ and would air between segments on Nitro.

You can check out footage from ChowdaHeads below. The stills from the other cancelled cartoon are pretty great to see as well.

Hopefully, Eric Bischoff, or someone else involved, will be able to shed some light on this subject soon since it became a popular discussion point within the Internet Wresting Community as of late.

I love pro wrestling and hate BS. These two things drive me. Years of experience in writing, journalism, and digging exclusive insider info for Ringside News. Worked in finance before realizing pro wrestling journalism made much less sense. Pro beachballs at pro wrestling shows, pro dives if someone catches, anti bullies, olives, and pineapples on pizza.
