big show was cool but his chokeslam looked like absolute poo poo after the glory days of WCW. he made up for it by doing that cool cobra-clutch backbreaker to helicopter throw for a bit which was absolutely top-notch. he has that jericho thing where he was a good worker searching for a satisfying finish for a long while until he realised "just hit a bitch in the face." we got there in the end but we had to suffer through the Hog Log along the way

raven vs. chris benoit. benoit works his way through the whole flock and then in the climactic battle the last half of the match is mostly benoit beating the poo poo out of raven for loving him over so much

NikkolasKing posted:How big a name was Kevin Sullivan once upon a time? I always hear his name come up when discussing WCW. He always seemed to be wrestling top guys or in a prime position backstage., But in an older Retro Nitro I just listened to they mentioned he is now wrestling in front of 12 people. That's the most I've heard about him since the death of WCW. he was a top guy in the territories and feuded with hogan in wcw. now he is 70 years old and does scummy little indy shows ran by scummy indy people who would book a 70 year old in a match. i am hoping he just does it to keep busy rather than out of financial necessity

Jerusalem posted:A few years ago there was a show, PPV I think, where Vince McMahon does a backstage segment. After the segment he's left alone in the room and turns around and has a vision of himself from the 80s (blue jacket and all) and looks startled, then moves on. I can't remember if it was a cardboard cutout of himself or if it was an Ultimate Warrior style mirror hallucination, and to the best of my knowledge NOTHING ever came of it. I think it might have been meant to be the start of some kind of angle where Vince realizes what a monstrous caricature of himself he has become, but if so it got abandoned almost before it began. Does anybody remember the particular show or have a screenshot/gif/clip? this definately happened but i saw it years later as a youtube and can offer no further context

I just remembered how tan Sid was and that activated some neuron which remembered a pamphlet which "Powerslam" magazine put out. It was about the "Ten Best Paid Wrestlers" and in the Hulk Hogan entry they listed his main strength as "Excellent Promo" and his main weakness as "Skin cancer seems inevitable."
