Cardboard Box posted:I can't imagine a WCW reunion pay-per-view having been anything but awful, and I'm not really sure why. Everything WCW touched was eventually corrupted into poo poo. They even turned the WWF into poo poo with that awful invasion angle. I recently explained the whole thing to a non-fan friend. It was like Marvel versus DC finally happening... but Batman and Superman can't come because they have AOL Time Warner contracts. Wolverine joins the DC side for no apparent reason. Then Dark Horse characters show up.

When Russo came in, he gave La Parka the Kaientai translated promo gimmick, but with an obnoxious Brooklyn accent. Somehow this was perfectly fine by me. Years later in Mexico he started doing these elaborate dance routine entrances with a Michael Jackson impersonator. Basically, La Parka rules.

Didn't they have to use a stun gun to beat Goldberg? I remember a lot of stun gunning going on back then.

Is there any evidence that the people running TNA have ever been cognizant of all the things WCW did wrong? Because they're feeding the same egos and re-hashing the same ideas. They even had Vince Russo writing for them.

joshtothemaxx posted:This thread makes me sad because I feel like the current WWE Bryan-Punk gently caress ups would drive fans to another company like the aforementioned Goldberg.... But there's no alternative. Sad days. Punk was the champ forever and hosed it up himself by being an un-personable grump when they sent him to be the face of the company on talk shows and such. I don't remember if it was Conan or somebody else, but Punk gave an awfully unfunny interview on some late night show. He didn't want to be there and couldn't be arsed to muster the energy to pretend. Bryan is going to have the strap eventually.

WCW's rings were 18x18 feet. Mcmahon prefers the larger 20x20 and with actual ropes instead of wrapped steel cables.

Halloween Jack posted:That reminds me, what's the most ridiculous weapon ever brought out in a wrestling match? I suppose the answer is probably some insane thing from CZW, like that "devil's toothbrush" thing or the time they used a weedeater. I ask because I saw the Sid vs. Nightstalker match and him slapping Sid with the flat side of a giant battleaxe was the icing on the cake. In Mick Foley's first book, he said the ECW fans tried to give the wrestlers a two man canoe to hit each other with.

MassRafTer posted:Jarrett was going to get in on one of the terrible start ups of that era because TNA existed more to capture the "Jeff Jarrett can't get a job" market. Russo, Bischoff, Nash, Hogan and corporate get all the blame for WCW folding, but I feel like Jeff Jarrett deserves some as well. The main event scene was all these 260+ pound monsters, most of whom had a lot of experience successfully selling tickets, and in comes this little pipsqueak with his childish catchphrase, his lackluster finisher, and ten thousand guitars, and all of a sudden he's the world heavyweight champion. He had that shirt that said "DON'T PISS ME OFF!" Or else what, little buddy? If a guy Jarrett's size had brought some speed and agility to the main event, that would be one thing, but Double J was just as slow and plodding as the big guys, while having none of the stage presence or intimidation factor. It felt like he hogged the spotlight for the entire last two years of WCW.

WCW in the summer of 1999 was oppressively boring. Fifteen minute Sid Vicious promos. Red and yellow Hulk as a babyface champ. Unmasked Rey. KISS demon. Bobby Heenan completely done giving a poo poo. edit: My God, the debut of Berlyn! Schavonne notes that Berlyn speaks English but refuses to do so. Heenan inquires, "Can you blame him?" I don't know Bob, what the hell do you even mean by that?
