I know this is the WCW thread but I just have to say that what the gently caress was even happening on this RAW? It's from 1997 and features a really loving bizarre vignette involving Sable and Fink in a laser tag match. It's not hard to see why WCW was stomping the piss out of WWF this year. Edit: it's also very strange to see The Rock job to Ahmed Johnson of all people, and an Undertaker that is physically able to wrestle. Edit 2: Pre-Christian conversion Shawn Michaels is super entertaining. This RAW is magical

Yeah Scotty got way less mobile over the years due to injuries, age and ROIDS, but unlike other idiots he at least knew well enough to adapt his style to it and can still work some fun matches! The fact that he can still work though is only icing on the cake to the greatest promo in all of wrestling history, so it doesn't matter much in the end.

NickRoweFillea posted:steiner is still really good This is true. While we're on the subject though, how is it that a man that seems to run on pure dianabol and rage hasn't had his heart explode out of his chest by now? Surely one day he's going to be flexing his peaks and pleasing his freaks and it won't be able to take it anymore and just burst free from his ribcage and run screaming down the road.

Some people keel over dead at age 20 due to a subtle medication change, and some people smoke, drink, and eat bad foods and live to be 90. Biology's a weird thing.

He says he eats super clean as well. In an interview he said his diet hasn't changed much since he was a high school wrestler.

Scott Steiner is seriously the wrestler that introduced me (and I'm sure many others) to the hurricanrana. It blew my loving mind as a kid.

Searching out clips of his backflip slam and seeing how many (of an already small sample size) end with Scotty spiking himself on the skull is a pretty good indicator of why you didn't see it more often

Tonight at 8 PM: WCW SPRING STAMPEDE 98! Featuring THE BAT MATCH Hollywood Hogan and Kevin Nash vs The Giant and Roddy Piper in A BAT MATCH Plus Sting vs Macho Man Randy Savage for the WCW Title Jericho vs Acka Macky for the cruiserweight title Booker T vs Chris Benoit for the TV title DDP vs Raven for the US title Psychosis vs La Parka Ultimo vs Chavo Jr AND SO MUCH MORE! Afterwards we'll have the TNA Weekly from June of 2004 with the first KING OF THE MOUNTAIN MATCH. Oatgan and I have no idea why we wanted to get to this point because the PPV is going to be awful as they all are, but... well, we're here so let's watch it after WCW! Because of this I'm going to show SSW BEFORE WCW. So tune in now for SSW, 8 PM for Nitro and around 11 for TNA. NECW will resume next week. http://www.psp-tv.com/r/BadMoviesWorseWrestling

DDP/Raven was an amazing hardcore match where they destroyed the whole Spring Stampede set, DDP beat up the whole Flock and then got owned by a mystery man and lost the belt. Sting/Savage was a typical overbooked WCW main event that was two men pushing 40 rolled around in what was left of the Spring Stampede set and it was no DQ because Sting is really stupid as always and thus he lost the belt when the NWO kicked his rear end and also kicked each other's asses because Kevin Nash and Hulk Hogan forever.

Yep, that's WCW circa 1998 alright. Man did they drive Sting strait into the loving ground that year. They're lucky Goldberg was such a money printing machine or their doom would have started a lot sooner.

Steiner is also the creator of my favourite move of all time - the Steiner Screwdriver. I saw first when Wolf had it in Virtua Fighter 2, and I just loved it so much that I would make it my character's finisher in all the games that had it. It wasn't at all super elaborate, but it looked like it would truly put someone down for good.

Sadly, but true, HBK was great as heel when he was on drugs. He gave no fucks about what he said back then and it made him awesome. He'll always be the man but his best heel work was before his back injury.
