They may have just wanted to make another black figure since they probably already did Ron Simmons. 29 of 30 are white guys. Guess we need another black guy for series 6

I was about to say that Craig Pittman was white until I googled him and realized I’ve been combining Sgt. Craig Pittman and Sgt. Buddy Lee Parker in my memory for fifteen years.

Pittman was also unfortunate in that he came along in a transitional time. I want to think that he showed up in the fall of 1995. By that winter, WCW was doing early ECW experimentation (Sabu) and a few cruiserweights were showing up. Pittman might have fit in, might even gotten a cult following a few years earlier. I always kinda liked the character. Diabolik900 posted:I was about to say that Craig Pittman was white until I googled him and realized I’ve been combining Sgt. Craig Pittman and Sgt.

Lance Russell worked for WCW at some point. Lance Russell was great and is provably my favorite announcer of all time and was a perfect fit for Memphis.

I tried listening to Tony's podcast, but his cohost sucks and they say too many inappropriate things.

Edge & Christian posted:There was absolutely a Slobberknocker Burger and DX "Crotch" Pork Chops. Possibly a Big Valbowski kielbasa? I never actually ate there, just wandered in and contemplated buying remaindered Steve Blackman shirts or whatever. I know you really want to believe that, but you're wrong. Not only was I there a few times when it was still open, but here's the menu:  Not the best quality, but you can still see that almost all the menu items have regular boring names and descriptions.

so my buddy and i watched two war games matches tonight. first we watched the nitro with the last war games match, using the TRIPLE CAGE. it was absolutely the worst loving thing i've ever watched. there were fourteen moves in a half hour match with 8 participants. one of them was a dropkick. i think two were scorpion deathlocks. the camera work misses like half of what happens. at one point konnan and chronic and the harris brothers appear in the crowd, when they were last seen outside the second cage. it is never explained how they teleported to the crowd. also, when they come back into the cage from getting the belt, sting is handcuffed to the cage. we never see this happen either, he's just fuckin handcuffed. kevin nash spends three quarters of the match leaning against the cage watching it happen, at the end jarrett hands him the belt and he steps out with it then we watched fall brawl 98 which had a mostly whatever war games match until hogan shows up, knocks everyone out so he can wrestle warrior for a minute, and then leaves, at which point ddp and stevie ray wake up and ddp gets the pin, the end. so goddamn stupid. also that was the show where davey boy hurt his back.

Suffice to say the last two War Games are the polar opposite of the first two.

Not quite WCW, but the first Ric Flair-Jack Veneno match has surfaced on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wR0VIbwy_C4 It's edited in places, but given this was taped from a stadium show for TV, it's likely as complete as it's going to get. The pin seems to be from another tape.

The 10/23/00 Observer back issue has some details about the first attempt to sell WCW to the WWF and this great quote.quote:WCW wrestlers did what is supposed to be an interpromotional angle with the TV show "Battledome." It starts off with several shows in a row on Battledome where the Battledome Warriors challenge and badmouth WCW, like pretty much everyone who ever watches the show does.

The legacy of the "Mega nWo' will be that it solely existed to be David Flair's wingmen.
