full on heel antics

i love that finish ahaha

of course HBK comes out first to the hometown pop

lol, we already got our first michael cole fuckup for the night and it's only 7:54

a foley heel turn.. I thought I saw it coming last night, was relieved that it didn't happen and now I read this

Isn't it a mystery at this point whether Austin will show up tonight or not? ..He was booked to appear tonight.

Sable belongs in there? She's like 6 months pregnant dude and Jacqueline was at TNA house shows this weekend.

Isnt that why The Iron Shiek won the gimmick battle royale? They didn't want him taking the over the top bump?

with Russo and Jeff booking I thought it was pretty self explanatory

Overall that was one of the worst wrestling PPV's I've ever watched.

What a shitty ending.

Did you see after that 2nd german suplex where sting was too gassed to even jump up for the third rolling german and Kurt had to sit there and wait a second for him?

some HORRIBLE looking rolling germans...

same with Sting...even through the facepaint you can see that he's damn near 50

I swear if Mick Foley turns heel tonight I'm driving to Florida to stab people and burn russo's popemobile to the ground.

The Joe interview afterwards where it looked like he was covered in shit was even worse than the "match" with Steiner

Who cares if it's a blow off or not when it's a bullshit Russo non-finish?

from bottom to top, I haven't personally watched a PPV this awful in a really long time I've seen WCW Saturday Nights and Sunday Night Heats that had better matches...

C'mon. I'm still waiting for a "room is spinning" reference or post of that nature. All due respect, it DOES suck that he's died so young but making light of death isn't exactly something that's unheard of around these parts - or anywhere at all for that matter. Some people just use humor as a way of dealing with a shitty circumstance. Besides, this is a thread at TSM, not the guy's wake. What was the original title of this thread? It's still stupid to make jokes about someone dying, regardless of the platform. But free speech is free speech I suppose. stupid and beyond tasteless.

He was just having a panic attack that somebody beat him to reposting internet news.

There have been rumors that Sunny is returning for it..

Poor Test and all his Testicles On a completely unrelated note: Did anyone else ever notice in the Wrestlemania 2000 video game they had him listed at 7' tall?

Nitro got decent ratings wrestling shows don't generate the ad revenue that equal, or even lesser, rated shows do, because of the negative stigma that wrestling and wrestling fans have. Even in 2001, wasn't Nitro TNTs highest rated show?

The WWF executive who initiated dialog with AOL TW about purchasing WCW was Stu Snyder and wouldn't you know that he and Brad Siegel were tight, having come up in the business world together. WOL - WWF buys WCW A very interesting and informative edition of WOL that covers the purchase that I've actually been listening to it today. It includes a recap of the press conference that Linda McMahon and, I believe, Snyder, held in regard to the purchase and details exactly what WWF got and it was a bit more than just some contracts and intellectual rights. I never knew this, but it seems to go further towards supporting the theory out there that Siegel got paid off IMO.. I'm going to download that and take a listen

It was actually Mandalay Sports Entertainment which was a division of ME, but this is correct. Isn't it sad that Vince was able to buy WCW less than a year later for only $4m? Someone got some serious money under the table for that whole ordeal... You're comparing apples and oranges. Mandalay would have purchased the entire company, including talent contracts, television rights, the tape library and everything else that goes into running a wrestling promotion. Jamie Kellner killed that whole deal when he canceled WCW programming. Vince just scooped up the intellectual property and cherry-picked the few talents he wanted. He still got a hell of deal, but it's not really a comparable purchase. The tape library ALONE was worth way more than what McMahon paid for the company. Not even in a fucking firesale should it have sold for nearly as low as it did. When you consider some of the talent he scooped up as well that didn't elect to sit at home on their asses, it's obvious that some shady shit went down. If you can't see that, open your eyes. Everyone I've spoken with who was involved with WCW at the end, including my uncle all think the same thing as well. Someone at AOL Time Warner got paid off...most likely Siegel.
