Sly Skraper sounds like a character in a Punch Out game.

I like Bret Hart because he’s got family values, he’s loyal, he really genuinely likes his fans, even though he may hate the morals of America. He really inspired me to do many different things in my life. He taught me that I have a gift and to use it to it’s fullest potential. And now I’m going to school for computer graphics, and I owe it all to Bret. Four years ago, I never would have gone to school, but when I started liking Bret, everything changed.

This thread has been around for about a year less than WCW was. We've got to keep it going.

Low Desert Punk posted:did anyone in this thread ever actually call the hotline? I had the toll free back door number and was able to listen to all of the options. Fun fact - if you called the back door number and entered the number that corresponds to FREEBIRD, you would hear a 10 minute recording of the song that I recorded.

Flair, Backlund, and Lawler are all roughly the same age so when they were in the WWF in 1992, they were ~42.

For 4550 days, from October 11, 1988 through March 26, 2001, World Championship Wrestling existed through all of its highs and lows. Robocop saving Sting; Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal; Cactus Jack lost in Cleveland; the White Castle of Fear; the Alliance to End Hulkamania; Cheatum; the Shockmaster; Paul Roma as a Horseman; the Yeti; Drunk Scott Hall, and so much more has been discussed in this thread. This thread is now 4551 days old, meaning this thread has been around longer than WCW. This long awaited milestone reminds me of a long awaited WCW debut - Glacier. Vignettes introducing this futuristic fighter akin to a Mortal Kombat character ran for months before Glacier finally debuted on WCW Pro against a very worthy opponent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB3C0fflMxQ

D.N. Nation posted:Lee Marshall had the best life. They'd pay for him to go to the next city Nitro was going to be in and film a 2-minute road report, which was basically just "I'm here at the home of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, hey, you ever see a weasel go fast?". And then he'd occasionally do some backstage stuff at WCW's D-show. Dream living. Wasn't his Road Report literally phoned in? He could have been anywhere.

Dusty Baker wasn't in NWA/JCP/WCW. That was Scott Hall - you must have seen the toothpick and got confused.

The contracts were in place, and there was no real way around those. What they needed was someone to book around those contracts and either buy them out or eat them. Instead, they fell for the sunk cost fallacy and continued to book the guys with big contracts.

Animal-Mother posted:There was one jobber tag team that got fed to Ryback and for some reason they were allowed to cut a short promo beforehand announcing their names, which were a pastiche of US presidents and Freebirds, which I can't quite remember. 6/11/12 Ryback defeated Willard Fillmore and Rutherford PS Hayes, The Dead Presidents.

Mr Hootington posted:That makes sense. Disappointing though. Sullivan's 80s work that I've watched is some of the best heel work. The man knew how to be a psycho that everyone hated. Besides Magnum TA and Nikita Koloff, I think practically any big name that was in WCW has been in WWE.
