You're conflating two WCW angles. One, from the good years, as mentioned, where Crow Sting after Crow Sting came to the ring to fight the nWo. The second, from the bad years, was a Russo PPV match against Jeff Jarrett where a Sting of every era showed up. Surfer Sting, Crow Sting, Wolfpac Sting, and even an old man Sting from the future.

I can't answer that question, but it's loving hilarious how similar the Roman problem is to Diesel. Smiling, blue contacts, sufferin' succotash. It's all the same bullshit the fans have hated since forever, again stuck on somebody whose personality is decidedly not that.

lWo was hosed by their name, but "all the Mexicans are heels" was a poo poo idea anyway, particularly because it started out with Eddie telling off Eric Bischoff, which was huge considering midcard guys didn't get to interact with the uppercard ever in WCW at the time and Bischoff was managing the main-event heels. It also had a worked-shoot element to it, because I don't think until that moment, it was ever acknowledged that Bischoff was the president of WCW, so that was a little confusing.

Ryback is just more proof that when WWE gets something over, they have to prove that it had nothing to do with the performer by ruining them immediately, so instead of spending the money they found, they light it the gently caress on fire.

I agree completely. One thing that gets me about the wrestling bubble is that everybody assumes anybody talking about anything is lying if they're wrong about it. You've got edge cases like Hulk Hogan, who, like Vince and Trump, I don't think he ever knows when he's lying, and hoo boy am I not touching that stuff. But beyond that, people ask things to like, Kevin Nash in shoot interviews and he gives a version of the story as he remembers it, and it doesn't line up exactly with the facts. Like when he confuses the aftermath of the Fingerpoke of Doom with the aftermath of NWO 2000 and claims that Goldberg hosed up the angle in the former when he punched a window out with his bare arm instead of a gimmick like he was supposed to and everybody goes "YOU'RE LYING!" and I can't remember poo poo in detail from earlier this month, much less a decade or more ago. I think Goldberg and Regal are both being completely genuine. Neither is known for being a liar. Regal even wouldn't say nice things about Benoit on the tribute show. Both guys admit their faults and aren't really known for working people.

Goldberg had more moves than most WWE main eventers, because Vince likes people to only do their signature spots and revisionist history is a hell of a thing when combined with projection.

Funnily enough, and I think this is something DDP said on his website back in 1998 back when he used it like what we now think of as a blog, but when Goldberg was at the WCW Power Plant, somebody told Page "we haven't seen anybody with his drive and work ethic since Mortis." So it's funny that Edge stole Mortis/Kanyon's finisher, but shittier, then migrated to Goldberg's finisher, but shittiest.

Edge's spear only looked good if the person selling it jumped just before it happened. Rhyno, too. Goldberg's almost always looked good because he was a football player and he wasn't working when he did it. He just did it. You could playt it up and make it easy on yourself, or you could just brace yourself and let Bill run through you, but whichever you chose, it was gonna' loving happen. You were gonna' get got.

The Lance Storm doubletake really never did get old. I also loved that he was a heel who didn't have to cheat. Until Russo took over his booking at New Blood Rising and the less we speak of that, the better.

DJExile posted:Santas Slay is loving incredible I explained that the board would be divided into two sections. One for each movie. Every participant would be given five post-it notes with their name on them, they'd add them to the side of whichever movie just did something funny or amazing. They'd be offered one refund point, but only one. So they had to be careful not to use up all their points on the first flick. The winner would be the movie with the most votes at the end of the night. Then I pulled the curtain off the board to reveal the theme: HOGAN VS. GOLDBERG Santa with Muscles vs. Santa's Slay. We all assumed Santa's Slay would win, but Hogan won by a country mile.
