And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

In hindsight, I'm kind of surprised WCW or TNA never had a situation like the one that happened in ECW where someone got injured by fire/incompetence/lack of planning in such a way that they got sued. I'm actually REALLY surprised TNA has never been sued by fans at all (that I know of).

Although TNA had their roof catch fire once, I think.

Most of the people involved with the Junkyard Invitational could've successfully sued.

I wanna start watching these Retro Raw/Nitro shows, is there a good place to start?

As a starting point I'd suggest maybe the Nitro after Hogan was revealed as the third man, which would be July 8 in 1996. Plus over on Raw short of anything else you've got Bret Hart and Steve Austin clashing and the eventual lead-in to Bret Hart's heel turn and Canadian Hero gimmick in 1997.

Edit: Incessant Excess' idea is a good one too, because you'll be able to see Nitro's astonishingly quick decline while Raw was somehow turning even poo poo into gold (and there was a lot of poo poo) and going to even greater heights.

Have you seen any of the retro stuff before, or is it all new to you?

I vaguely remember some fans threatening to sue TNA but they couldn't get a legal enough argument for a lawyer to sign onto.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Granny's review of Undertaker vs Yokozuna on the Dec 15th show was hilarious, I loved it.

I'm not sure why it surprised me since their problems were such a long time ago, but it was a genuine pleasure to hear just how much Edge and Christian love the Woken Matt Hardy gimmick and hear them rave about how savvy Matt is.

It is so nice to see the Hardys doing okay, things were REALLY shaky for both of them for a while. I know Jeff's injury is serious, especially with the amount of mileage on his body but at least he's collecting a cheque int he meantime

Didn't Jeff settle down and start a family?

Matt married into the best possible family, his father in law owns.

OSW's older stuff holds up pretty well. I just rewatched their ECW series and it was a blast. It seems like the Pre-NWO Hogan Arc they did for WCW might be the last good thing they do though, everything else for the last several years has been mediocre at best, and this TNA series was pretty trash.
