Finally, the match we've always wanted... Hogan versus Beefcake in 1999.

Edit: "And Ric Flair said so, and THAT's the final word!" Nice attempt to cash in on some Stone Cold catch phrasery.

Maybe someone can explain to me why the referee took the kendo stick from Finlay? It's like, "You can use it for a bit, but then NO MORE!"

I just opened the eternal WCW stream and got Saturn catching Stinko Malenko on his shoulders off the top rope and retaining the tag titles with the Death Valley Driver, so that's pretty good timing.

The stream is now showing the May 24, 1999 edition of Nitro. Guess it's a little neat to see. Until they had the "In memory of Owen Hart" thing before the show. That's just sad. Was classy at least, not something WCW is known for.

My day started off very well. I turned on the stream to hear Curt Hennig on commentary bad mouthing rap.

It didn't last long. "Music and wrestling has never been done before" as we watch a video with lot of shots of Bitchoff with some record producer. Who the hell was Tommy Boy, anyway?

Started off this morning with Bischoff commenting that WCW had the best wrestlers in the world... during an Ernest Miller match.

Things only got better when that was followed by Macho Man vs guy dressed as Kevin Nash in drag!

Wait, was it a guy dressed as Kevin Nash that was also dressed like a woman? I'm not sure I'm understanding correctly. I'm guessing this happened in 99 or 2000 because I don't remember it at all and that is when I pretty much mostly checked out on WCW. I would also ask "why?" but I know the only answer would be "WCW". :\

Yes, it was a dude dressed up as Nash, who was also in drag. Bischoff repeatedly called him a transvestite.

Apparently the buildup to this involved Macho Man laying out Nash and putting lipstick on him?

The only bits I remember from this feud is the segment involving the contortionist in the gym bag, and Nash spraying them with sewage.

They just had a recap of the Scott Norton and Ernest Miller "feud". Seeing Norton with shaving cream face being told that The Cat is calling him out is still one of the most amusing things that WCW did.

You need to look up the Raven/Sandman segments that reveal that Raven is just a spoiled rich kid, and Sandman is his rich preppy neighbor. Then watch the Junkyard Invitation since basically 90% of the people in that match got injured.

Also the Curt Henning Rap feud was awesome. They paid Master P and his group stupid amounts of money and they came in to fued with Curt Hennig, Bobby Duncum, Jr, Barry Windham, Kendall Windham. Henning's groups were a bunch of rednecks and were suppose to be the heels. Due to it being WCW they did not realize that Henning and co were liked by the crowd due to them being southern and good wrestlers. They released a song called Rap is Crap and it got played on the radio. Guess what WCW do? They gave them Wrestler Superstar Virgil and de-pushed them

That group was Perfect. WCW really is the gift that keeps on giving. However, I do not think that TNA is ever going to be as "great" as WCW was.
