WCW tidbit of the day: When they signed Bossman in 1993 from Vince, their buyrates were in the toilet. They expected to be able to use him on top but that never materialized for various reasons despite how good he was. His lawyer had gotten WCW to put a clause in their contract saying if their buyrate for a PPV was over a certain amount, he got a $25,000 check that month whether he was on the show or not. They left that in his contract forever and never changed the numbers around, so when the NWO showed up and WCW went on their hot streak, he got a $25,000 check every month on top of his base pay until he jumped even though they weren't using him at all.

There were some bright spots like Thunder in 2001 but overall the product wasn't good. The post Russo PPVs are just terrible until Greed which ends up being great.

He was one of those guys where if you put him in right position at the right time I think he could have drawn money, at least in the short term. It never ended up panning out that way, but I could see a company taking a chance on him.

Bossman could haul rear end around the ring circa 1991 or so.

Right after the Heenan family. He fought Mr. Perfect for the IC Title at WM7, then had the Jailhouse Match with the Mountie at Summerslam '91.

I also remember Bossman feuding with IRS. Because it lead to Bossman getting all Wrestling-angry because IRS insinuated that he cheated on his taxes, and that was the thing that pushed him over teh edge and made him want to fight. It was funny to little kid me, and is hilarious to grown up me.

Though his promos about "EVERYONE has to pay taxes - you can't die just to get out of paying them" at a graveyard was hilarious.

That reminds me of something weird; does anyone else remember that when Kane was introduced, one of the proofs that he was really the Undertaker's brother was a little statue they shared as kids, split in half vertically, and Paul Bearer had the other half? That was silly.
