I have always felt, for whatever reason, that WWF run ins felt a lot less cheap and more engaging than WCW ones. I think most of that is probably down to JR selling his surprise. He always sounded so indignant.

Scott Steiner, in the later years of WCW, had effective creative control because everyone backstage was terrified of him. Rightly.

Was Piper just allowed to script all his segments himself, or something? That's honestly all I can think of, is a coked up Piper backstage somewhere going "Yeah, I'll wrestle Earthquake! And a boxer! And a MMA guy!"

Is there a particular reason they treated Flair like such poo poo when they weren't actively neglecting him, or was it just the general "WWF guys are better than our guys" attitude at its peak?

Red posted:Instead of recap packages, why don't we get more videos about stuff outside the ring? An outside video/vignette promo can really build up a match. We don't get promos about what happens outside the ring because nothing loving happens outside the ring anymore. Every single feud is built on "he cost me a match!", which only works as the reason for a feud when wins and losses mean something, which they don't, because we see the same people trading wins every week. Like, it's weird. What WWE could really use right now is more sports entertainment.

Von Linus posted:This is not remotely important, but when Roddy Piper was coming in to feud with Hogan, and he does a music video, and they say 'THERE'S A MESSAGE FOR HOGAN HERE' and the song is about how this girl is cute and how he wants to bang her, what message was I supposed to draw from that? The message is just "Piper wants a match with Hogan." There are shots of a marquee with "Hogan vs. Piper" on it.

If they had waited until Starrcade, would Hogan have done the clean job like that on PPV? Goldberg was closer to Hogan's idea of "on his level" than 97 Sting.MassRafTer posted:The summer of '99 is the worst period in WCW history because it's so boring and confusing everyone forgets it exists and just remembers the Russo stuff that came after.

No, not at all, especially Jericho. You could argue it for 2003 Hollywood Rock, but 97-99 Rock needed constant interference to keep his belt I think he had one clean pinfall defense in a 5 month IC reign

After all, WWE is silly and HHH has a giant ego and always has to put himself over everybody so nothing else that ever existed could ever be bad or dumb. Lol you're the same guy who kept getting pissy when people were wrong about house number minutiae last night

It's a great concept for an undercard if you have a strong draw match on top, I think.

Now imagine doing it in front of ten thousand people live in an arena and millions watching on TV, with a 7-foot dude waving his hands right in front of you, and it's a loving miracle anybody ever makes one. It is not that hard to sink a three pointer in a gym by yourself, what are you talking about

I figure they mostly all exist because ex-wrestling personalities desperately need the money. Some of them seem more like for attention, which is pretty sad, too. A life on the road alienating your friends and family doesn’t leave you with much for old age once wrestling’s done with you.

Ryback was really, really over. He popped a big buyrate for his title match at Hell in a Cell and the guy was charismatic as gently caress, even if he was sloppy. The way he looked, the way he carried himself, he always stood out as different from everyone else. Not anywhere near Goldberg’s level, but he still had it. The Goldberg booking worked until they stopped doing it. Then they gave him a bunch of losses against Punk, the Shield, and a totally pointless loss to Mark Henry, which killed him. Imagine if the Giant had beat Goldberg in the middle of the card.
