Just by the difference in reading the two write-ups I'm not shocked at all that WCW destroyed WWF in the ratings this week. That was a really solid go home show.

STAC Goat posted:Yeah, I think I'm engaged in pretty much every WCW story. I'm really enjoying deranged heel Hogan, like the build to Giant/Muta, am curious to see where the Regal Nobility and the mysterious birds attacks go, and am deeply conflicted about the Sting/Luger and Arn/Flair ones are going. The only very minor complaints I have about WCW are that the CW division could use more build and I was kind of disappointed Psicosis unmasking JL had no real follow up. That's a really great point, if you asked me to tell you the WCW storylines without looking I could name five or six in pretty good detail. If I had to do the same with WWF I can only think of two and I couldn't really give much detail on either.

Very awesome PPV indeed, did not disappoint (constant misspellings of Cleveland aside)! I am definitely tuning my fake TV to WCW for monday night.

CaptainYesterday posted:There is an erroneous report regarding the six-man tag. Rey Misterio, Jr. did not do any move called a '619'. He sort of did, but he did it as a "I got thrown into the ropes but I'm not coming back towards you haha what now" move instead of a "kick/shin/knee the conviniently placed opponent in the face" move.

I wasn't trying to put you down, I liked it. I think nobody commented on it because you laid it on pretty thick so there wasn't really any mystery by the end.

That was a pretty great PPV. I was really hoping Flair would pull that one out after using every trick he could think of, but I guess it wasn't enough. As an aside, can someone explain the V for Victory to me? I don't know if it should be the peace sign, the Vulcan sign, or if it's something else.

Why was Sting randomly in an unpromoted main event against a guy who's never been above the midcard and has had basically no TV time? Really weird and completely ruined the flow for me.

CaptainYesterday posted:Let's take a look at where the wrestlers are now: Very happy. Not only was my vote, which specified how we felt they had been used at the time of the vote , for the winning team, but it caused the WCW writers to overreact and put the title on a comedy tag team, noticably pissing off one worker and probably irritating others who were probably more deserving. I liked Summerslam but the main event seemed like it was maybe a little overbooked. But RAW moving to HBO? Ooohhh boy that doesn't seem good.

I really hope both sides (and JoeRules, of course) are able to keep this going for a while because while it's cool seeing the alternate timeline created so far, I'm realy looking forward to seeng what happens in the next two or three in game years.

Q7kid posted:Is Jericho not as over in Canada as he is in the States or something? Surprising that a workrate special between two Canadian darlings would flop so hard. The rest of the show dragged the rating down, the two Jericho/Owen segments were on par with good main events in the states.
