Just like it says in the title, that's what I'm looking for.
I'm debating (more just in my head than anything else) on doing kind of an Invasion-redux angle with an idealized version of history (like the full WCW roster, everyone having a TV deal, impossible stuff like that). My main problem is, I'm not sure who all was involved in WCW there at the end, and I'm not sure which existing exports are the ones I should go for.
What I'm looking for is basically something like... A roster list of who was where and when.
The reason why I don't just nab current exports of guys who were in the business back then is because their movesets have kinda changed (specifically: I don't recall HHH using the crossface back in those days, HBK was retired, and (again) I'm unfamiliar with the WCW guys as a whole to judge which export is genuine for that time).
I was also wondering: Would the ALLWREST.TNM file be pretty much what I'm looking for? That was compiled right around the Attitude Era, wasn't it? Shouldn't that have everyone I'm looking for, with movesets and gimmicks specific to the time period? I have the file already, just haven't really explored it, yet. If anyone has some experience with it, lemme know please.
Otherwise, if someone could point me in the right direction as far as rosters and exports go, I'd really appreciate it.
EDIT: Of course, Wikipedia had some of the answers all along: List of World Championship Wrestling alumni, List of Extreme Championship Wrestling alumni.
The ECW one is gonna be helpful, as it actually has years listed for their tenure. The WCW one is more shady, but there's also the Wikipedia page for The WCW/ECW Alliance that pretty much lists who went with the WWF. Comparing the two, I can probably figure out who took a buyout and who waited, but I'm still a little lost on accurate era-specific exports. Would the single export files on TNM7.com be from around then, or later (around 2003?) Or is the ALLWREST.TNM file still the way to go? How about the WCW exports on TNMUK? I noticed that page doesn't have guys like Hollywood Hogan or Goldberg listed, but most of the exports on there are from 01. Should I go with those and the TNM7.com exports for the bigger guys?

What I'm looking for is basically something like... A roster list of who was where and when.
- A roster for the WWF around March 2001, when the buyout happened. I can pretty much piece together who else was in the fed before that as I was following the federation the closest at the time.
- A roster for WCW from around the same time, as I know pretty much who the Invasion consisted of. My problem is finding a concise list of who all didn't take a boyout. Hogan, Nash, Steiner, Sting, Goldberg, I know about, but was Hall on the payroll then? Who else am I missing?
- And then ECW. Is the Old School ECW roster pack on TNMUK fairly indicative of who was with the fed when it went under?
