Geez, I could have sworn Brock lost that one time to Mir, then they fought again and Brock left Mir's face looking like a cuisinart.

What exactly was the on-screen formation of the nWo Wolfpack all about? I've never seen any history devote any time to it. Nash just kinda ends up in red, with Sting(Why would Sting join ANY nWo group?), Macho Man(He was the first Wolfpack recruit, right?), Konnan(Why the gently caress would Konnan join an nWo group?) and Luger as members. Like I asked, why would Sting join? What was Konnan doing before the Wolfpack formation that would make him get invited into it? Macho and Luger I get, though.

The Wolfpack started due to tension between Hogan and Nash (although the real tension was always between Hogan and Savage). Nash got fed up of being number 2 to Hogan and broke away with fellow NWO member Konnan who was his little buddy and started to feud with the black and whites. Over time WCW roster members joined the Wolfpack just because they were getting wins, Sting for example joined because he ended up winning the tag titles. Honestly I have no idea why it was Nash who broke away from the black and whites, seeing as the entire build was to a split between Hogan and Savage.

Okay, then i guess one of my questions goes back further. Was there any special reason that Konnan was recruited into the nWo, or was it just a thing like how they were recruiting everyone?

It began with animosity between Hogan and Nash/Savage with them realizing Hogan was only looking out for himself (shocking!) and not the nWo. Spring Stampede 98 is where the split began to take shape. Hogan/Nash were in a tag match vs Piper/The Giant and after the match Hogan attacked Nash. Later that night Nash came out to help Savage defeat Sting for the WCW title which led up to Savage/Hogan the following night on Nitro after Hogan claimed Savage had HIS title. More shenanigans ensued (  ) with the end result being Hogan defeating fellow nWo member Savage with the help of Bret Hart and nWo members after Nash was unable to help Savage by himself. This meant that some members would now have to pick a side, Hogan or Nash.The following Nitro, Nash, Savage and Konnan all came out sporting the red and black nWo shirts calling themselves the Wolfpac. I recall the reason for Konnan joining is that he was Nash's "little buddy" or something and it was pretty much left at that. Luger joined because he said it "just feels right" and Sting felt like he had an ultimatum to pick a side after his tag team partner The Giant joined nWo Hollywood for retribution on Nash for injuring him earlier in the year. The Giant kept his alliance with Sting and they won the tag titles vs. the Outsiders after Hall turned on Nash. It was implied that Luger swayed Sting into joining the red and black after Sting swerved Hogan taking off his jacket to reveal an nWo black and white shirt only to then attack Hogan and slam his partner The Giant and rip that shirt off to reveal the black and red thus joining the group consisting of Nash and Savage who cost him the WCW title just a month earlier but whatever.

He joined after the recruitement drive had finished, following an angle in which he broke Rey's leg and made eyecontact with Kevin Nash. The next week he just showed up with the NWO and was from then on a member.

Konnan was rowdy rowdy and bout it bout it. Or was it bout it bout it and rowdy rowdy? I try to format most of the information in my brain regarding the dying years of WCW.

Hirams Bitch posted:In a way for some of them it kind of works as an ad for the full DVD since you only get the documentary part with small clips of matches, while the DVD has full matches. Maybe. They've been putting the whole sets up there for like a year now but they're far enough after release that anyone who was going to but the disc likely would've done so already.

MassRafTer posted:Why would a street fight favor Meng more? He's still going to be held down and beaten up by a wrestler. "OH BUT HE COULD BITE YOU." So could Brock. He can also headbutt and well, just beat the poo poo out of you while you lay on your back chomping at air. The rules exist to keep people from killing each other. Do you think that if you suddenly take away the rules that these guys would be at a disadvantage? Tell that to the group of dudes Hendo and Couture beat the poo poo out of in a street fight.

I sat down to watch Survivor Series 2001 with a friend last week (reliving the Invasion angle) and remembered something I wanted to ask the board: at the tail end of the Invasion angle, there was a disabled wrestler who came in on a wheelchair to give a pep talk to The WWF side, and in the speech, the man stood up out of his wheelchair - which left both the wrestlers in awe and the message boards I was in saying, "HOLY poo poo HE CAN STAND AND WALK!?" Who was this man, and was his injury legit or kayfabe? I don't think it was Droz, cause I remember this man being much older.

Who is considered to be the most dangerous guy to work with who still managed to be successful and get a continued push? To elaborate, I mean stiff, sloppy work that gets other guys injured. Based on what seems to be the sheer volume of stories about him, I'd assume Vader. I'm curious if there's anyone else who falls in the same category.
