Use Your Illusion

Don't bother trying to reason with him.

Thanks for the input, Swine, very interesting indeed. UYI

Back in 1998, I was only 13 years old and had very little idea as to how things worked backstage. What I want to know is the exact details in regards to Flair's departure in 1998 from WCW TV and his famous return courtesy of the Four Horsemen. I'm guessing it had something to do with Bischoff, but I don't know the actual details. UYI

That was fucking retarded.

Excuse me? I've always spelt it that way as on of my friends has that exact last name and spells it that way.

I really liked Venis in his Sean Morely character, which has seemingly been replaced by the likes of Johnny Nitro (who I'm also beginning to become fond of). It's such a shame they completely left him for dead after what they had planned for him ran its course.

Haven't you been watching SD!? Those Dudleys, they're main eventers now, you know.

I cannot believe this guy has caused such an impact. Who.Fucking.Cares.

The MNW DVD is good, however there are some *huge* logic gaps and holes in WWE's points & arguments, as you would expect. However, while there is a lot WWE's version of history on there, the nWo stuff as well as all the awesome footage from both RAW & Nitro is worth the price alone. Plus, it has the best tag match to ever air on RAW - HBK & Austin vs Owen & Davey Boy. UYI

That, at least, had TNA value, Gosunkugi.

Smackdown *got* all the star power in the inital draft, with the likes of Rock, Triple H, Hulk Hogan, Kurt Angle & Chris Benoit (admittedly, he stuck around on RAW for a little bit when returned, but ultimately ended up on SD!) all being drafted to the Thursday show, not to mention the influx of new blood like WGTT & Rey Mysterio. I would encourage SD! to make new stars, but there isn't anyone there I want to see in the main event, besides maybe Rene Dupree, but he is lightyears away from being ready for something such as carrying a main event feud yet. As much as I hate him, Cena is the guy to build up and co-carry SD! with Eddie Guerrero & Booker T. Apparently Eddie is mega-banged up at the moment too, which makes things even worse. Times be grim. UYI

We don't blame you.

Off topic: Y2Jerk quoted me. I'm flattered.

Suddenly, I like you.

What was Eric's main beef with Naitch anyway? He drew millions, the fans adored him and he was as reliable as they come. I know you need to abandon all logic and common sense when discussing WCW, but I just cannot understand it.

Oh, of course. I've heard about Flair missing Thunder, but didn't know it was directly related to his absence in '98. That wacky EZE.

No amount of hardcore porn could've prepared me for that.

It's never been an talent issue with Sting, just a motivational one. No-one can really blame Sting half-assing it in WCW with the environment that place spawned, however the WWE locker room these days isn't much better. UYI

For God's sake, Trivia, just stop posting.

Tomko is the most boring looking individual I've ever seen come from OVW. Same generic look, same stupid fucking tattoos that look completely ridiculous and probably the same generic (lack of) talent. That Horshu (or Luther) guy doesn't look anymore promising either. And, uh, yeah, I'm with Andrew - No one cares.

My favourite oversell of all time was the way Shawn took Sid's big boot at SSeries 1996 as HBK was coming off the second turnbuckle. Rolled backwards, then upright onto his head, before flopping back down on the mat. Looked unreal. UYI

I fucking *hate* Leno. Whether some percieve him to be the king of late-night is irrelevant to me, his jokes rarely make me laugh and he comes across as a kid you'd go to school each day purely because you'd get to beat him up. David Letterman is a genius and owns Leno in every way. UYI

Luger's a fatass now!?!? Anyone got any pictures of him? I don't think i could ever picture Luger that way.

This isn't right. Expect CWM to snap any moment and bring down the entire board with him.

Luger bringing back a fully-fledged Narcissist gimmick would rock. At least until he had to 'wrestle'. UYI
