LividLiquid posted:That never happened. The entire gimmick behind Sid's streak was how bullshit it was and even Tony said this every night. You're thinking of Goldberg's streak. More specifically, they did this for Goldberg's second streak. There was a storyline where Goldberg had to break the original streak without losing a single match or he'd be fired. Every time he would spear or jackhammer someone, they would add it to the tally if it was in a match or not.

The booking of the "second streak" was some of the dumbest that WCW ever produced, particularly in it's conclusion. I will never cease to be amused Buff Bagwell was kayfabe responsible for the end of Goldbergs WCW career.

If you've got cash burning a hole in your pocket, you can own a piece of history: the WCW Saturday Night sign! http://www.ebay.com/itm/WCW-LIVE-SATERDAY-NIGHT-SIGN-/190571409881?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c5ef0f1d9#ht_548wt_1202

Reading through thiis thread has inspired me to watch every nitro, thunder, and PPV since the first Nitro. Unfortunately I wasn't watching during the Monday wars. Now I can experience the awesomeness, and futiliity that was WCW first hand.

I started doing the same thing, but I am watching the Raws too. Nitro gets old pretty quick until Hall and Nash arrive and they make the show two hours. Its like they didnt want to take any time to promote the PPVs or the undercard, so every week the show was domnated with rhe Dungeon of Doom vs Hogan. Slamboree '96 was the worst PPV I've ever seen. The doomsday cage match at Uncensored at least had some reedeming qualities about it since it was so horrible. Slamboree was just awful from start to finish.

I'm pretty sure in WCW if you requested pyro they'd give it to you. There were a few guys I recall who had zero reason for needing pyro and never reacted to it but they still got it. I remember one of the crappy prelim guys that WCW loved to put out there (Mike Enos, Rick Fuller, one of those) had pyro for no explicable reason. Not sure which one it was but he was going to ring to job and had a pyro explosion. It was odd.

Yeah Raw usually had the huge pyros at the start of the show, but other than Kane's entrance or some other guys I can't remember, they kept it toned down. They also seemed to run in bigger venues than WCW was near the end, which probably helps with dissipating the smoke.

That place holds over 40,000 people and it looked like San Francisco in there. Probably due to Goldberg's entrance in itself.

I just remembered a scene from a Nitro I watched on the weekend. It was after a PPV where Nash was dressed up as Sting, where he hit someone with a bat. Anyway down came "fake Sting" again and the announcers were like WELL HERE'S NASH IN HIS MASK AGAIN. Then he removes the mask and underneath it's real Sting in his facepaint!!! I laughed because I thought the first time that happened was in that TNA gif, but nope.

I'm just realizing I got duped by this too, but how on earth were we ever fooled into thinking Nash was Sting, considering that Nash is like a foot taller than him?

My favorite memory of Nitro was when TONS of fake Stings kept coming from the crowd, only to go down with a single hit, until it was revealed that one of them was the real sting and then cleared out the ring. It was brilliant.

The greatest will always be someone throwing a baby stroller into the ring. Think about that. They brought a baby with them in a baby stroller to ring side seats for WCW and when the nWo come out (It might have even been when they formed), someone got so mad they tossed the baby stroller in the ring. At least they took the baby out.

Yeah, I'm only a month and a half in, and not seeing Saturday, where several debuts took place is a bit jarring. I feel empty having missed the American Males debut. But drat, Scott Riggs looks weird without an eye patch.
