Near-death WCW was DEFINED by poo poo like that. You have 15 luchadors, and you have a fat man and a woman fight over the cruiserweight title.

Daffney also was cruiserweight champion at some point. Now that all this awful Oklahoma stuff is coming to mind, why was Jerry Only in WCW at all? Especially winning matches against actual wrestlers. I guess they wanted that crucial "people who like the 1999 incarnation of The Misfits" demographic.

The best thing in near death wcw was the pianist the wrestler who used to play a loving piano and be winched down from the rafters while doing so. I think torrie wilson was his valet at first.

That was the Maestro right? I remember him feuding with Ernest Miller about whether Miller could bring James Brown to WCW. Then James Brown showed up out of the blue on PPV and everyone danced.

This being WCW they spent hundreds of thousands on getting James Brown to show up and then didn't bother promoting that he would show up because nobody thought that he would.

Wikipedia (the only real source for accurate facts) mentions something about a complaint around it so yeah they probably did throw piles and piles of cash at him.

He wasn't great, but he looked intimidating and could work a decent 5-10 minute match. I don't get the hate for the character, other than it was commercialized and hokey. But that's what KISS is.

I think if they yould have just called him the "The Demon" and let the KISS connection speak for itself, the giant TM tatooed on his forehead wouldn't have bugged people as much.

I was watching the Best of Smackdown DVD and after watching the Vince promo I was wondering: did someone use the quote "Life sucks, and then you diiiiiie" before their entrance music? It sounds so familiar but I can't place it. Also, I may be making it up.

I can't imagine ECW affording a piano, let alone the means to lower it from the rafters. My favorite Maestro moment was when he debuted. There was a match going on in the ring, the commentators were talking about the main event, and then out of nowhere this man playing a piano was lowered from the rafters. They went to commercials without the commentators mentioning it once. VVVV Ahh, I misread. VVVV Grant DaNasty fucked around with this message at 10:51 on Oct 3, 2009 |
