Also he seems to forget the lawsuit that WWE had going against WCW - Scott Hall and Kevin Nash copy right infringement. I am sure a lawyer could have easily gotten the law suit thrown out by showing WWE characters on WCW television.

TL posted:I loved, loved, loved DDP's match with Goldberg at Halloween Havoc. Watch the crowd completely lose their poo poo when Page reverses the Jackhammer into the Diamond Cutter. That was a glorious gently caress up with the Hogan Warrior match then DDP v Goldberg which is all good. However Bitchoff did not tell the cable company that they were going longer and the ppv ended with the Hogan Warrior match. I am almost positive that thsi is repeated information but that match and situation just completely captures WCW's gently caress ups.

Pope Corky the IX posted:I believe it was a PPV in '96 or '97, but for one of the many matches that Piper and Hogan had, it was stated again and again in the build-up to the show that Piper come up with the stipulations for the match himself, and that it was clearly billed as a World title match. However, when Piper won with the sleeper and everyone filled the ring to celebrate, it was suddenly announced that he had only won the match, which was a non-title bout. Not only is that a blatant bait-and-switch, but also makes Piper look like one of the dumbest men alive. One of my favorite moments from the Roddy Piper DVD is when he is talking about his time in WCW and he mentions that he did it all for the money. Another great moment is him talking about pissing off the Latino crowd by playing on his bag pipe the Mexican national anthem - La Cucaracha

Lone Rogue posted:Jerry Flynn actually wrestled Bret Hart the night after his concussion against Goldberg. Well he was most likely originally planned for the game but due to the legal issues he was taken out, but his skin was still in there and they did not bother getting rid of the code. Or it could have been due to the fact it was Thunder the worst WCW video game until they decided that what a wrestling video game did not need was a ring, and giving Lance Storm royalties.

Space Cob posted:I can only imagine now a heel who wants to prove he is the baddest dude in the company. So he says he is a bigger bad dude than all of the other bad dudes on the show put together. Then he sets out to prove it by running in and beating up all the babyfaces currently in feuds on the show. Sid basically did this except he would just beat up people. Then they would count towards his winning streak.

Lone Rogue posted:The worst part of that opinion is that wrestling, even during the days when Russo was a kid watching Bruno in the WWWF, always made tons of money having people wanting to watch foreigners as evil heels. Evil heels make money and people want to see the foreigners versus their homegrown natives. It's what made Japan's wrestling boom and what made many companies in many different eras. So you are saying that basically Russo is clueless about wrestling?

He was fairly popular but more or less a midcarder in WCW, comes in to WWE and works his way up to main eventer, is a multi-time WHC champion (lovely reigns or not) and has been one the biggest stars in the company for like the last 5 years.

What exactly happened? Did they just come on TV one night and say "we're dropping everything, and writing new stuff"?? There was a one week break where they showed a best of show then came a Russerific time.

They even talked about crash tv booking and how it worked, and Bisch's tendancy to book on the fly. Why on earth they did these shows the way they did is a mystery. I remember everyone reaction was it could not be worse the Sullivan. Then came the episode and then PPV and everyone realized yes yes it could.

MassRayPer posted:There is a difference between mocking stupidity and complaining. Looking back it didn't make anyone tune in each week and thus was yet another stupid thing WCW did. They put a match on TV and ensured they could NEVER do it again due to Hogan's ego and they did it with four days build. Wasn't it originally a non-title match, and only announced as title earlier that day?
