BAN DICKEYE posted:Theoretical question, if the wolfpac had absolutely zero NWO branding, do you think they would have been better accepted by the fanbase, even with Sting joining them? I'm confused, was the Wolfpac not over with fans? I was a huge fan at the time, I thought they were the coolest. Of course at this time I didn't have access to WWF programming.

LividLiquid posted:No, sir. Sting joined the Wolfpac in summer of 98, feuded with Bret Hart at Halloween Havoc, then disappeared from the end of that match to just before Spring Stampede '99. The Wolfpac never got the chance to turn on Sting.

I remember Sting appearing in the rafters or in a promo or some poo poo in the Spring of 1999, wearing his black and white makeup. Tony Shavonie wondered out loud if this meant that Sting had joined the nWo Black and White. At this point the nWo Black and White consisted of Horace Hogan, Vincent, Scott Norton, Stevie Ray and Bryan Adams. They were feuding with Ernest Miller. *Edit* Did the commentators regularly call Black and White the B-team on the air in 1999? Wikipedia says they did, but I don't recall hearing it.

Lone Rogue posted:He was revealed to be Hogan's mole in the Dungeon of Doom and then showed up as the Booty Man. Wow, I had no idea about this. I loving hate when logic just gets thrown out the window for some stupid twist. The Dungeon of Doom didn't even exist when Brutus turned on Hogan. Beefcake clubbed Hogan in the knee, started the "Three Faces of Fear" with Sullivan and Earthquake, and went on to fight Hogan in a bunch of lovely matches. The TFOF would eventually evolve into the DOD. So Hogan had Brutus turn on him so he could infiltrate an organization that wouldn't exist until Beefcake helped create it. And were the Hogan/Beefcake matches works then (in kayfabe, I mean)? Or was Beefcake just too stupid to realize that Hogan's plan involved an awful lot of Hogan beating the poo poo out of him? Did Beefcake fake clubbing Hogan in the knee?  Heenan was right, Hogan was the heel all along.

Yes, lets totally question the validity of the Disciple's actions with respect to Hogan. Besides actual causality is overrated.

I might have to check out some of these PPVs people mentioned. In the majority of cases, I've only seen a handful of matches from the cards at best. On another topic, that of Hogan vs. Piper, I've just been reminded of that random cage match from Halloween Havoc '97 where they briefly brawled outside the cage at one point. You know, in a cage match. I remember one commentator trying to justify it by telling us that they left the cage at the same time or something. Regarding nWo Black and White, I know that my first ever wrestling video game (WCW Mayhem for PS1) constantly referred to them by that name. The highlight of that game was unlocking Mean Gene, who would happily introduce himself with "Entering the ring, me!".

The Nitro I watched last night (about two weeks before Halloween Havoc 98) featured WCW using the Hardy Boys theme in a video package and a Raw is War commercial where Doc Hendrix slipped up and said that Bret Hart would be at the Raw in Maine that was going on sale that weekend. I love that even during commercials, WCW was hosed up.

Tony Shavonie wondered out loud if this meant that Sting had joined the nWo Black and White. Just tuned in and this just happened. It was Zbyszko who wondered if it meant he wasn't with the Wolfpac anymore, and Schiavone just kinda goes, "Well, really it doesn't mean anything." Nice.

The "out came a bearded Ed Leslie" entry from that list of Meltzer WCW quotes is one of my favorite things ever. It's just one of those things that perfectly encapsulates WCW much like the Booker T holding a picture of Scott Hall image.

Meng vs Hugh Morrus and The Barbarian right now. And still, I somehow care about this than most of the mid-card matches we get on RAW each week. WCW must have been doing something right.
