King Kamala

A PG rated, Fred Durst directed inspirational sports movie just doesn't sound right. Though for what it's worth, I hear he's a lot better at directing than he is at making music. Though that wouldn't be incredibly difficult. Anything that keeps Limp Bizkit from putting out another album is A OK in my book. For some weird reason, the local arthouse theater hyped the shit out of his first movie appearing there.

I loved that black dude who debuted on last night's show (The Butcher I think his name was) who said he came to AWA for the money. I LOLed. I read on another board that last night's show was from the last AWA TV taping. And I'm not sure what happened to Johnnie Stewart. He worked for Dale Gagner's AWA and was a main event player there for a bit in the late '90s.

July '02 baby. Though I posted a little bit (mostly lurked) on the whole yellow and blue board.

Would have been weirder if he had actually came through with his threat to make a full on porno!

I agree with Diamonddust, I think it would have hurt WCW more than it hurt WWF honestly. I think Hogan still would have feuded with 'Taker and Sid. Instead of Flair/Savage, maybe they'd have drawn out the Jake/Savage feud so it could be the co main-event at WrestleMania VIII.

That's nearly as funny as the live action insert at the end of Fly Me To The Moon where Buzz Aldrin tells the audience that it was in fact not possible for flies to have hitched a ride on Apollo 11. Thanks Buzz.

Hey I wouldn't count out College. If any movie has a shot at beating TDK, it's that.

Yeah so does wiki. I think they only started doing the weekend B.O. in '82 cause that's how far wikipedia goes back.

Alright- this guy is IMHO a huge steal for the fourtieth round. I don't know about y'all but I wouldn't have blinked an eye if he'd been picked 15-20 rounds ago. He was one of the premier junior heavyweights of his time. Trained by the legendary Rikozidan and Karl Gotch, he moved to the U.S. from Japan in the early '60s and was one of the biggest stars of the vaunted Florida territory in the '60s and '70s. After retiring in the late '80s, he briefly served as manager for The Four Horsemen. Perhaps his most famous role in wrestling is as one of the business' most brutal and successful trainers. Scott Hall, Lex Luger, Ron Simmons, Paul Orndorff, Steve Keirn, B. Brian Blair, Hercules Hernandez, and some guy named Hulk Hogan are only a few of the guys who learned under my next pick. I'll be using him as a member of Flair's security detail and a top contender for my Junior Heavyweight title. He's a two time former NWA World Junior Heavyweight Champion and a four time NWA Southern Heavyweight Champion... Ladies and gentlemen, with my 40th and final pick in the All Time Wrestling Roster draft, I'm proud to select the late great... ...Hiro Matsuda!

I don't think it was because Nash went against the plans or anything like that. I think Vince was just pissed cause it was a really shitty match. Though I wonder why that match was the one where he finally lost it and decided Diesel had to lose the title soon. It was really no worse than any of Diesel's other PPV title defenses against people not named Bret Hart or Shawn Michaels.

According to wikipedia, it was #1 for a weekend! For shits and giggles, I looked up what was #1 on the weekend I was born and it was Willow. Could be worse I guess. Had I been born a week earlier it would have been Friday The 13th Part VII:The New Blood.

You know, come to think of it, I subjected that friend to The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas so maybe he was just trying to get even. I don't know why I wanted to see that movie. I didn't even like the first movie (or the cartoon for that matter) all that much. I guess dinosaurs farting and Stephen Baldwin were what I wanted to see in a movie when I was 11.

Yeah, I don't really give a shit about it myself outside of basketball and the occasional boxing match. I don't actively dislike it. I just want my Late Night with Conan O'Brien and SNL reruns back, dammit!

Fun fact: My hatred of Leonard Maltin stems from Reign of Fire. I've told that story elsewhere though. It was really more a Christian Bale fights dragons movie, really. Matthew McConaughey shows up like 45 minutes and eaten by a dragon a half hour later. Anyways I bet Bale wishes he could take that movie off his resume. I actually thought the movie was a lot of fun when I saw it in theaters (Hey I didn't know any better- I was 13). That reminds me I saw that movie for a friend's birthday and that friend had a three or four year run where we saw the shittiest movies on his birthday. The aforementioned Christian Bale dragon movie, that boring ass Final Fantasy movie (that was so bad I contemplated on walking out to see Scary Movie 2- chew on that for a second), The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. I'm amazed that we're still friends after he made me sit through those.

Oh no. Sci Fi Original nine times out of ten equals suck. Though they usually spring more for their mini-series. At least they can be relied on for some good unintentional comedy.

Come to think of it, they also fought in a King of The Ring tournament qualifying match back in '95 with Yokozuna going over by countout after he legdropped Luger on the floor. I think they were sort of trying to reignite the original feud with The Allied Powers Vs Owen and Yokozuna feud.

It's not just us, there's a few vocal hardcore/delusional Guns 'N' Roses/Axl Rose fans at every message board I frequent.

Eh...Ian McShane was in Hot Rod so it doesn't surprise me too much that he's in it.. Now I kind of liked Hot Rod but I would just expect him to above that kind of movie.

Oddly enough, The Bachman Books is one of the few King books I've read. That and his one on writing are probably my favorites. He visited my high school during my junior year . Unfortunately, they ended the Q&A session before I got to ask him about his guest appearance on The Simpsons. Ah well, Maine's a small state. Maybe I'll see him again one day. Speaking of King adaptations, The Stand is another one that's begging to remade. I like the original mini-series well enough but it really begs to be a ten part HBO or Showtime series.

Milky, you don't know how right you are regarding a Running Man remake. Have you read the original Stephen King (or Richard Bachman in this case) novel? Way darker and way less cartoony. Actually, it's more or less an entirely different and much better story. Although the track record for King adaptations is spotty at best but I'd love to see a faithful adaptation of the book. Though I doubt they could do the same ending as the book in these PC times. Don't get me wrong I love the Arnold movie but a Running Man remake is high on the list of movies I want to see. Another movie I really want to see remade is They Live. Now that's the perfect type of movie to be remade. It's an OK movie with a few cool scenes that's sort of outdated but has a really cool plot.

IMO this PPV is one of the low points in WWE/F history. There are worse PPVs (Hell- WWF put on one four months earlier0 but I just remember this being one of the most boring and forgettable PPVs ever and in a way isn't that almost worse than PPVs that are just egregiously bad? All of the In Your House PPVs from '95 and '96 were alike. One standout match and a bunch of forgettable crap. The difference with this one is there is no one standout match. Now was this before or during Bill Watts' run with the book? I remember he was in charge around the time of Survivor Series '95 and I remember someone referencing him being upset by Shawn Michaels getting his ass whooped by those guys in Syracuse.

Ah Crazy Luke Graham. My dad's favorite wrestler as a kid. Nice steal.

He got picked by OriginalOrangeGoblin about ten rounds ago. He didn't come up when I searched using Control+F for some reason but when I used the search thread function, it showed he'd already been picked.

Interesting that all but one is from '98 to '00. Shows how miserable the death of WCW was for the most part. Your list looks pretty good (or should I say pretty bad given what we're listing). The only thing I disagree with is Halloween Havoc '98. You're right that there is a lot of crap and filler on there but I'd say the good stuff outweighs it. I haven't seen a lot of pre-Hogan WCW unfortunately so I can't really judge the crappy PPVs from that era as I haven't seen most of them. I'd almost definitely have Starrcade '94 and Road Wild '99 on my list. That Bunkhouse Stampede PPV would definitely be high up there too if we're counting JCP stuff. Probably in The Bottom 3. I bought a bootleg tape of that PPV at an indy show and man is it excrutiating. Why did they have a PPV with only four matches? Nobody wanted to see Ric Flair Vs Road Warrior Hawk and Nikita Koloff Vs Bobby Eaton both go a half hour!And the Steel Cage Bunkhouse Stampede is an absolutely terrible concept that was executed terribly. And the quarter-filled Nassau Coliseum (an arena that isn't always hot when it's sold out) sure didn't help this show's dreary as hell atmosphere.

I'm not sure what the best was since 90% of the shows I've seen were house shows and like the original poster said, the wrestlers on those don't always give the best of efforts. It was probably one of the matches from Chris Benoit and Booker T's Best of Seven series that I saw at a WCW Saturday Night taping a couple nights after Slamboree '98. My favorite though was a Bret Hart-Owen Hart Lumberjack match I saw at a Superstars taping back in August '94 (my first live show). The match is on a Coliseum Video (Wham! Bam! Bodyslam I think. I should know since I bought it on EBay a year or two ago).
