It's a disappointment the matches were so short. Some of them sound like a lot of fun and it's a good idea in concept. In concept. Bret vs. Saturn and Kidman are interesting matchups. I want to see Scott Hall vs. Lash LeRoux badly. Hennig/Jarrett must have been a fun match, even if quick. I would like to see the WWE or even TNA do a monster sized tournament. No 8 Man Tournament. A big huge one where it engulfs the show into nothing but Tournament matches. We all love Beat the Clock, so I think this would be good in giving us an excuse to watch good wrestling matches.

I also double Hennig/Jarrett was that good since Hennig gave zero poo poo throughout his WCW career and especially after the Flair feud ended. Miller vs Leroux? Ugh. Hall vs Sid? Yikes. Sting vs Knobs? Buff Bagwell vs STEVIE RAY? Holy poo poo, I need to see that match. I have no memory of it, it must have been something else. There's a handful of interesting matches, and just a huge helping of horrible.

This was what WrestleMania IV was and I don't care what anyone says, it was awesome ![]() But yeah it would be more awesome now because there are a lot more good workers on the roster.

Boom. 16 Man Tournament. WWE SD! Tournament: Batista, Charlie Haas, Chris Jericho, CM Punk, Dolph Ziggler, Eric Escobar, Finlay, Jimmy Wang Yang, Kane, Luke Gallows, Matt Hardy, Mike Knox, R-Truth, Rey Mysterio, Great Khali and John Morrison. Again, 16 Man Tournament. TNA Tournament: Abyss, D'Angelo DeNiro, Daniels, Desmond Wolfe, Dr. Stevie, Hernandez, Jay Lethal, Jeff Jarrett, Kurt Angle, Matt Morgan, Mick Foley, Raven, Rhino, Samoa Joe, Scott Steiner, Tomko and Sean Morely. Even this would be a drat good tournament. Is there anyone who wouldn't want to see a Raw, Smackdown! or Impact consisting of eight matches, all tournament matches? Even if it ended up being Big Show vs. Chris Masters, Luke Gallows vs. Great Khali or Mick Foley vs. Raven in one of them?

I just thought of something I've never seen and have only read about. Basically, WCW called up a guy from the Power Plant that they were allegedly very high on. They put him in a match with DDP. During this match, the new guy climbed to the top rope, leading to DDP running into the ropes as a normal set up for the 'crotch yourself on the turnbuckle' thing. Instead of doing it, said new guy screamed at the top of his lungs and hurled himself into the ring. The new guy was never heard from again. I think he may have worn a mask, but I can't Google anything up.

At the urging of my dear friend NAME OF FRIEND, I have opted to enter this thread to post my favorite WCW what-in-the-world-is-happening moment of all. Lex Luger ... is becoming ... ... the Total Package. http://www.ddtdigest.com/updates/1999094m.htm Ever since I first saw this moment, I have been referring to it as possibly the most completely meaningless wrestling moment I can think of in WCW history. As you can sort of tell from the above recap, at some point during this show, there was a funeral held for Lex Luger. Toward the end of the show, Lex Luger came out, with dramatic spot-lighting and an elegant robe, and started to do muscle poses in the center of the ring while the announcers explained that he was "becoming the Total Package before our very eyes," or something very close to that. It was probably years afterward before I started laughing out loud every time I thought of it. There is a very good chance that it was not quite as hilarious as I recall, but I would give anything to see that dramatic pose-down again.

If I remember correctly, this is the show where Bret Hart said Hogan was the Elvis of Wrestling while he was the Robert DeNiro of Wrestling.

CVagts posted:Oh my god this may have been the most hilarious thing to happen in WCW, and that's saying something. The story behind this angle is quite amusing. This was during the peroid between Eric Bischoff being shitcanned and Vince Russo being hired. During this time the poor guys who were writing the show were being forced to maintain the status quo by the top brass. Everyone knew there would be a new appointment being made as a long term head writer/booker but at this point no one knew Russo was in the frame. There was a booking meeting where the writers were told that they had to maintain the status quo, BUT they also had to deliver surprises. This angle was their response. A surprise that changed nothing.

That reminds me. Ready To Rumble. WCW made a movie for wrestling fans in which the main characters (wrestling fans) are retarded sewage workers.

Please everyone, enjoy the death of Lex Lugar. I noticed an other nice little piece of WCW before the Lex Lugar segment, so I left that in too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlJ15JYQ5gA

If there's any other clips people are looking for, I've got what appears to be all the Nitros from '95-'99 and 2001.

Also if you can rip the Norman Smiley VS Jimmy Hart hardcore match from WCW Monday Nitro - November 15th, 1999, that would be splendid. ( http://www.ddtdigest.com/updates/1999112m.htm )

You are my supreme champion hero of all of the universe's universes. I never thought I would get to see this again. The best part is, I was clearly watching RAW during the initial Lex Luger funeral, as this is completely new to me. Awesome.

The best part is the end of the video where Sting just runs into Hogan's dressing room and knocks his knee with the nightstick and runs away.

Yeah, I decided to leave that in because I liked Sting rushing in then nonchalantly walking away. I'll try and get that Hart match up tomorrow and see if I can find the dates of enough Seven segments to make up a video package. Raeg fucked around with this message at 21:58 on Jan 16, 2010 |

Man, I was watching some older WWF videos yesterday and Heenan was on a bunch of them with a few different partners. Comparing the Brain of old to the Heenan commentating on that clip is like night and day. I know he disliked it there but to hear the difference is just so sad. Poor Bobby. Also: LUGAR!!!

I'd love to see the first Scott Hall invasion episode of Nitro. I've seen the clip of him arriving, but I'd like to see what the whole show looked like gently caress it, I'd like to see all the nitros, I've never really seen one.
