I think that's the PPV where Dusty and the others have a hilarious exchange during a bout between Eddie Guerrero and Konnan. I belive it goes something like Dusty saying "Dat dere Konnan is a real street fighter... HOMIEEEEEEEE!" Then everyone in silence for a few seconds then Dusty again piping up with "DID I SHOCK YOOOOU?!"

I'm relistening to the Death of WCW audiobook and at the start Alvarez mentions some wrestlers vanishing like thieves in he night when WCW was collapsing. Now I've heard all about how stupid the contracts were but what top guys stayed away and how? I know they all had contracts but I'm sure teh contract stated you had to wrestle and show up if they told you to.

A lot of WCW's top guys had a lot of influence on the creative direction of the company, so I believe they'd either write themselves off TV or convince creative to write them out. That way when things continued going south, they could blame everyone else and get big pushes on returning at the expense of others. At least that's how I imagine he'd mean.

Of course it could just be that they were making assloads of money off WCW even as business was collapsing more and more. After all, it wasn't just horrible revenues that killed WCW, WCW also spent itself into the grave.

That way when things continued going south, they could blame everyone else and get big pushes on returning at the expense of others. they stopped doing house shows, and this was endemic through a lot of the company at the time, to the point where Rey Mysterio was getting heat because he was doing it while a lot of older wrestlers stopped showing up on TV for most of 2000 that was because the company was starting to cut a lot of them for financial reasons and focus on the cheaper talents like the Natural Born Thrillers who all sucked except for Mark Jindrak who was just super green. Hennig and Savage were released, DDP and Luger were injured and also trying to get released, Kimberly and Elizabeth got released because of Russo wanting them to wrestle when it wasn't in their contracts, Flair was injured, Hall was Hall, Nash kept on TV for a long time even when creative was empty for him and went into business for himself, Sid was purposefully being held off TV, and Hogan left because he sued the company after Russo called him bald.

Great replies. Thanks for the info. Not to swerve but mentioning Hall and Sid reminded me of this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=340FMdHj24c 1. When was this? 2. Whose reaction is funnier, Nash's or Hall's? I really wish I knew what Nash was thinking there.

reading the back issues for observer in 2001 its kinda crazy to see the progress wwfe is making to get the relaunch ready, securing the 2 hour timeslot, picking and choosing which talents to renegotiate and which wwf stars to move over to the WCW side, getting taping dates set up, etc, all of this lined up and in place and thrown out because of a really bad Buff Bagwell match.

The progress hits a bunch of hitches in May. They almost didn't get Booker in time.

Buff showed a LOT of promise in his early years (I just watched one of the '92 Saturday Nights where he's an up and comer and he's pretty drat agile) but he kinda hit a ceiling after the split with Steiner.

I thought Buff was pretty cool as a kid. Now, he reminds me of swing club lifer types. Buff's biggest problem ringwise is his gas tank, which is why he was always running out those moves. WWE shoulda kept him on the payroll just as a councilor to help teach wrestlers keeping their offtime mayhem on the DL.

Like 95% of buffs offense was flexing. The rest was laughing, his exaggerated run/walk into more flexing, and the blockbuster. He was magnificent

I've probably said this before, but Buff really is the ideal Level One Boss for the NWO.

I loved when Buff was Scott Steiners hype man. It was the perfect role for him. He got to jump around and be goofy and wear a stupid top hat. Things we all aspire to,

I saw very little nitro when it was on but Buff seemed incredibly assholish. The stupid hat, everything was calculated to annoy me. I would have loved if he got more of a run in WWE doing the same thing.

I used to love Buff as a kid. Between that and Shawn Michaels being my favorite wrestler ever, I guess I should have figured out my sexuality earlier. Anyway, what JR said about Buff on Legends of Wrestling made him sound like a total loser. I think that was the episode on losers, too. And speaking of "total" losers, they were really unfair to Lex Luger on that episode. Okay, so he couldn't be Hulk Hogan, 99% of wrestlers can't be Hulk Hogan. Plus Vince just booked all his top faces terribly for a few years. (thinking mainly of Lex and Diesel. Maybe he did better with the others, I can't recall too early)

This is my favorite Steiner video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqT0quOMMBU My #1 Steiner video is gone now I think but it was called Scott Steiner is the greatest wrestler ever. It too was a compilation and one bit showed Steiner on the ground selling. He sold being hurt by literally saying "OWWWW" and furthermore he said it in the whiniest way imaginable. I miss that.
