I am severely disappointed about the lack of Alex Wright's dick in the latest image dump.

Alex Wright and Norman Smiley could have been the number one penis-based tag team in wrestling and I am disappointed that WCW missed this opportunity.

Hedgehog Pie posted:Didn't WCW manage to shoot themselves in the foot by mistreating some of their loaned New Japan talent too, or was it just Liger? That probably wouldn't quite fall under the same banner as misusing the likes of Bret Hart or even Mike Awesome, but it seems like it was unnecessary for them to just poo poo on their long-term relationship with New Japan. Then again, WCW seemed to like being unnecessary sometimes. WCW booked liger to lose the IWGP Jr title to juvi without running it by new japan first

And did it by having Juventud hot Liger with a tequila bottle, because Russo.

The only thing about Bret Hart in WCW I remember was him wearing that plate of armor under his shirt when Goldberg speared him

Hirez posted:The only thing about Bret Hart in WCW I remember was him wearing that plate of armor under his shirt when Goldberg speared him Then Kevin Nash went on The Tonight Show and said since Bret didn't work for WCW anymore, he couldn't wrestle him there, but he'd wrestle him on The Tonight Show. Another big bit of cross-promotion after their collaboration for Road Wild '98. But then Owen died and it all got scrapped. So they brought him back, he did the tribute match with Owen, and by the end of the year he was champ and nWo 2000 formed, but then Goldberg kicked him into retirement.

If anything Douglas got better than he deserved in WCW. Even though he wasn't a main eventer he was a big focus of the upper midcard. And it exposed him, as much as somebody could be exposed in 2000 WCW. It taught us the sad lesson that ECW was about 90% smoke and mirrors.

My favourite thing with that Pay Per View was every single New Japan wrestler from Liger to Sasaki had to be represented by Sonny Onoo. Because WCW.

Also on the syndicated Pro show, for the last month or so before Starrcade, Onoo would take over the final 10 minutes of the program, which featured a squash with one of the Japanese wrestlers.

OFFICER LIGER posted:When jericho got there keith hart was there the first day of class collected money and peaced out, so there wasnt much of a dungeon left to train at But Mike Hammer did much of Benoit's actual pro wrestling training. The thing that a lot of people don't realize is that Stu generally wasn't doing the pro wrestling training as much as some vet in the territory would do it. Aging luchador Frank Butcher of all people trained Bruce Hart, Rick Martel, and the other guys who broke in through Calgary circa 1973. Mr. Hito and Kazuo Sakurada trained Bret Hart. Mike Hammer trained Benoit. There are probably a lot more I'm forgetting, and putting together a list would probably be weirdly interesting.

Shane Douglas was really, really broken down by the time he got to WCW. poo poo, he was pretty toasted in ECW from all the accumulated injuries and then the weird deal with his sinuses exploding all the time. Then he made the mistake of "walking out" on WCW along with The Radicalz even though there was no way he could follow through with it, ECW and WWF didn't want him. He never was a political genius.

I admit I am excited to finally start watching ECW in a week or so. I've been posting about wrestling online since 2007 when I lived in Michigan and WrestleMania came back to town. Everyone always swore by people like Douglas and Raven and Tazz and RVD and that the WWE just wasted them. Maybe wasting RVD is a stretch but he seemed to get over in spite of how he was booked. I remember in the Invasion he always got the loudest pops. He certainly did better than Raven in WWF. Anyway, I was told how Austin stole his gimmick from Sandman and Undertaker stole crucifying people from Raven. Apparently a lot of innovation took place in that bingo hall. And yet I don't think there's an ECW nostalgia thread like this is the WCW nostalgia thread. NikkolasKing fucked around with this message at 21:43 on Feb 20, 2020 |

He thought he had solidarity with the Radicalz and they negotiated with WWF behind his back. I think he didn't know until he found out Dean Malenko was spotted at a hotel in Stamford and called the room or something. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
