He terrified petey williams back when he mentored him, and while doing an incredibly dangerous and illegal manuever, he says to petey "calm down, do you know how long it's been since I've been in an accident", which did not reassure him.

I watched Halloween Havoc 89 last Sunday. WCW was always destined to have a clusterfuck main event.

I just watched Superbrawl '97, which has one of the worst endings I have ever seen. Piper vs. Hogan, and Piper won with the sleeper. However, while he and the ref are celebrating, Savage pulls Hogan's feet under the ropes and hands him some brass knuckles. The ref sees Hogan under the ropes and restarts the match even though he clearly saw before that Hogan's feet weren't even close to the ropes. Immediately Hogan hits Piper with the brass knuckles and gets the pinfall. Of course in typical WCW fashion, the crowd is pissed and the announcers don't even seem to know what just happened.

A lot of this kind of poo poo had to do with Hogan's "Creative Control." He'd make sure he didn't lose no matter who won. Same thing at Starrcade '97.

I believe it was a PPV in '96 or '97, but for one of the many matches that Piper and Hogan had, it was stated again and again in the build-up to the show that Piper come up with the stipulations for the match himself, and that it was clearly billed as a World title match. However, when Piper won with the sleeper and everyone filled the ring to celebrate, it was suddenly announced that he had only won the match, which was a non-title bout. Not only is that a blatant bait-and-switch, but also makes Piper look like one of the dumbest men alive.

One of my favorite moments from the Roddy Piper DVD is when he is talking about his time in WCW and he mentions that he did it all for the money. Another great moment is him talking about pissing off the Latino crowd by playing on his bag pipe the Mexican national anthem - La Cucaracha

The biggest show of the year with the biggest heel in the business as world champ losing in the main event. Non-title.

Hog Wild 96 had a poster/video cover of Hogan in his Hulkster costume while he had already been Hollywood for about a month. In fact, that was the PPV where he won the belt. I know the posters are done months in advance, but you think they could've had a little more insight then that.

Also, Hog Wild was a free show for bikers, presumably bikers who knew little about wrestling and WCW. I'd say a poster with Hogan on it is probably the best bet.

Hogan was a close to last minute decision to be the third man. Eric was confident that he could snatch away Bret Hart who was off TV and negociating his 10 year contract with the WWF. Even up until the day of the turn Hogan was having doubts about participating in it. Hogan was also filming one of his lovely movies at the time and was off TV 'injured.' Hog wild would have been his big return hence the poster.

My uncle got tickets to a wcw show in england here years and years ago (early 2000s i think). I'd never seen WCW as all we got on our tv was WWF so I wasn't familiar with any of the wrestlers. All I really remember is there was a great tag team match between ray mysterio's team and lance storm's team. They did a lot of physical comedy with eachother before the match started, mainly height based, then the match itself was really good with a lot of high flying moves. Some fat guy with a dumb name (that I don't recall) came out and shouted a lot about how he was gonna beat goldberg or end goldbergs massive victory streak or something. There were a bunch of boring matches with a bunch of boring wrestlers, then booker T came out and was also boring. Eventually goldberg (whose pyros were really loud) came out to fight the fat guy, and the whole match was just goldberg picking the guy up, lifting him over his head and then slamming him down. He won and then triumphant music played and he walked around really slowly for 10 minutes in a spotlight and picked up a little kid from the audience. Those are all the memories of WCW I have. At the time WWF had the rock and stone cold. I stopped being worried I was missing something great in WCW after that.

As for WCW jobbers, I actually thought High Voltage had potential. The greatest thing about WCW jobbers though is that Mike Enos and Rick Fuller were unlocked in the game WCW/nWo Thunder by beating it with certain guys (Roddy Piper for Enos, Alex Wright for Fuller). Ric Flair, on the other hand? He had to be unlocked via code/Gameshark and had no special moves. He was a throw in, along with the "Inland Crew Bonus Wrestlers" such as Zoomie, Sleep Dopep, Dude Man, Wrestling Matt, Veal and many... many others.

Well he was most likely originally planned for the game but due to the legal issues he was taken out, but his skin was still in there and they did not bother getting rid of the code. Or it could have been due to the fact it was Thunder the worst WCW video game until they decided that what a wrestling video game did not need was a ring, and giving Lance Storm royalties.

Sean O'Haire couldn't cut a single promo without cracking up laughing. They gave him several weeks of house shows and off camera promos to try to transition the character from rehearsed vignettes into an on screen character and O'Haire just kept busting out a big smile. Even the promos he did on screen he kept smiling. They then tried to push him by putting him with Piper and that didn't help. It'd be better for WWE to just do the character over again with a different wrestler.

Don't make either of them faces, just warring factions trying to take over WWE. It would be like a Spawn storyline.

Someone linked me the WCW recaps on DDT Digest yesterday. Some of these are hilarious in hindsight # In a big upset, Bill Goldberg pinned Hugh Morrus after a long standing suplex. * Get rid of Goldberg's tattoos, and he's a dead ringer for "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. Right down to the attire. * Hugh Morrus is over tonight. * Oh, my! Goldberg kicked out after a No Laughing Matter! No one has done that before! (not sure if he's being sarcastic here) * Goldberg refused to interview with Okerlund after the match. Given that, I like Goldberg already. * Tenay was stumped and didn't know who Goldberg was. In fact, neither do I. Can anyone tell me. And before you e-mail me, it's not Perry Saturn. Goldberg's missing some of Saturn's tattoos.
