ColeM posted:It was a one week switch. The match was Hogan dominating the entire thing, an NWO/WCW run in and Luger scoring the submission amongst the confusion(hardly a decisive win). I thought it was a roll-up.

I heard that Stephanie McMahon accidentally killed Ultimate Warrior in a car wreck in 1990 so they had to replace him with a look alike ever since to cover it up. She almost got away with it scott-free, but don't worry, Randy Savage caught wind of the plot eventually and took care of business.

LividLiquid posted:The two most awesome parts of this were Goldberg almost ruining it by saying, "Goldberg's streak had to start somewhere" and the fact that Hugh legitimately had no idea any of it was going to happen. Goldberg jackhammering Hugh out of nowhere in his first match was pretty loving mind-blowing at the time. I wouldn't have had a problem with it.

And he kicked out of a jackhammer. That was pretty much the headstone on his WCW career.

dusty udder smoker posted:no he didn't. Damnit, you're right, I haven't watched it in a long time. People talk about how Regal was 'stretching' him because he hadn't paid his dues or whatever, but Goldberg did pretty drat good in that match. Before the internet ruined wrestling, 95% of the fans probably just though it was a solid competitive match.

I wonder; if someone just said "gently caress it" and shoot-threw the intended winner over the top, would the bookers be so out of touch that they would keep him on and fire the rest?

The big nail in the coffin was that he was one of the big supporters of WWE wrestlers getting employee benefits / health care. And how could Vince possibly keep that kind of un-loyal son of a bitch on the payroll?!

Volcano Style posted:This was also a couple of weeks either before or after he'd gone out and cut an unscripted promo about DDP having a vagina or something and the two got in a fight backstage. Again, Steiner went unpunished. Acourding to Death of WCW, DDP just bumped into him in a doorway carrying a carpet, and he flipped out and started fighting him.

projecthalaxy posted:Someone (TNA) needs to one up WW3 and make a 9 ring battle royal. Have the rings form a larger square, keypad style. 31(More than THOSE GUYS UP NORTH) wrestlers start in each corner ring, and have to be thrown into another ring, at 2,4,6,8 on the keypad, then and only then can they be thrown into the central ring. Last man outside the middle ring then faces the first person eliminated in a lumberjack match, with the other 122 participants surrounding the middle ring. And have the run-in finish come in from the wrong side, so a crowd of heels have to brutally fight their way past a knocked out Shannon Moore and a tipped-over ladder.

Lone Rogue posted:I'm curious, are you saying this as someone who recognizes the sizes of the companies (WCW in 1997 being the biggest wrestling company in the world, ECW being a cult territory) and just finds it curious to see a guy once in a main event role as a midcarder, or are you putting WCW and ECW on the same level? I think you're over-thinking it.
