Rusty Shackelford posted:Did he ever get that match? When Simmons won the title from Vader 3 weeks later, it was after Sting was injured and couldn't face Vader. Watts had a lottery in the ring and Simmons won and went on to face Vader later in the show. It definitely wasn't a planned title shot. Reading Death of WCW at the moment, and according to that, they switched the title onto Simmons because they couldn't do the match they wanted and had been building toward with Vader (I forget if it was Vader/Sting or Vader/someone else). Because they had never had any real plans for Simmons, he did mostly nothing with the title and it went back on Vader in December. It's kind of ironic that this was celebrated as a major coupe for black wrestlers when they inducted Bill Watts into the Hall of Fame, when it was actually a case of having no one available that they'd rather put it on.

How'd this thread end up on page 2? Also, why did Joel Gertner ALWAYS wear a neck brace?

DDP was always the master tactician, hence why he wore the rib tape for about a year.

The 51% consensus (and that's the best you'll ever get) is that X-Pac heat involves fans booing the wrestler when he enters and, sometimes, if he wins, but generally not reacting much to anything else he does. I've never seen Vickie's segments, but based on what I've read here I find it hard to believe she was getting anything of the kind. Most of the other definitions either are a simple "when fans boo a face" or involve psychic knowledge of why fans are booing.
