Personally, I would list 1991 as the first WCW year with 1990 being the last for JCP. Admittedly, it does get a little vague and even PWI lists results under the NWA name through the first few months of 91. It's a judgment call. If you really want to start work on a "mother site" of all the NWA territories - you have my blessing and admiration. A lot of info is already on the net but compiling it would take quite a while.

I don't see the Steamboat 10/02 show but since the title change took place on September 29, it wouldn't be unheard of to have Steiner defending on 10/3. I doubt it was advertised as a title match beforehand.

Well this was before Oz debuted but it didn't indicate as to which member of the team it was.

According to the blurb on the match, the 2-minute interval was more like 1 minute. So I'm guessing 10 guys involved? It didn't state for certain.

I always figured it was because he had just stripped Hogan of the title a few weeks before the rumble due to the disputed finish at This Tuesday in Texas. Tunney was even less comfortable on the mic than Linda McMahon. And while Linda usually gets the huge face pops for making the decisions the fans like and can get behind, we usually only saw Tunney when something bad was going on and his decisions were less than fan-friendly. I think his major flaw was that he just wasn't charismatic enough to get behind. Add that to all the controversial decisions and you see why he was boooed.

Think it was when he went singles.

Not totally sure. I don't recall seeing him prior to March 95, and the last time I can recall seeing him was at a house show here in Philly on Super Bowl Sunday in 96. I'll go out on a limb and say from February 95 to February 96, though I could be wrong. I'm leaning towards December 94 to March 96. IIRC, his last TV match was a squash loss to ... of all people ... Bradshaw. Kushi got branded after the match and that was all we saw of him.

With The History of WCW starting up, I thought it best to mention another similar site that has just opened its doors - The History of Jim Crockett Promotions. It looks to be covering the promotion from 1973 through 1989 and will, in addition to results, eventually provide guest columns. There's not a lot there at the moment but I'm going to send the guy some results this weekend which can hopefully get him started. It's already getting a lot of buzz via Kayfabe Memories so I don't think it will be long before it becomes a very popular site. I didn't see his e-mail posted on the site as of yet but if you have anything to send in, it's [email protected]

I think they were going more for an angle where Orndorff gets back at all the Horsemen - especially Pillman. I think the only Horsemen not involved in that situation was Benoit. ... But then they pretty much dropped the whole thing by January 96.

I remember that. When they showed the clip on Nitro, you could see Morrus outside the ring near the corner while Wright was celebrating in the ring ... not sure if Hugh was selling an injury or just keeping the ring clear so Wright could get the pin. IIRC, Wright had to defend the gold in a handicap match the following Nitro and ended up losing the belts.

Another free resource to take advantage of - RSPW. A great newsgroup with postings dating back to 1990. It's been an invaluable tool for myself and I think if you play around with the search engine enough, you'll be able to add a TON of info to the website. Here's a search to start you off ... just by typing in WCW House Show results, you get over 50 pages of replies. I also saw some old Saturday Night taping result postings in the same search...

Anya didn't die off-screen. It was as on screen as it could be. I didn't see her die. I saw her body but not her death.

... If it were a house show ... would it have been taped?

It's visually pleasing. My only bit of advice would be to add as much as you can to the results - more than just the simple "this guy beat that guy". The more detail you add, the more you distinguish your site from all the others that copy / paste the most basic of PPV, Clash, and TV results. Why would someone want to go to a new site for the same info they can find at a website they've been going to for years? ... Just my 2 cents. But it looks good so far.

Can do it for just about anyone, given the free time.

GREAT EPISODE! I might have mixed feelings on the ending ... bittersweet comes to mind ... but I don't think there was a better way to conclude the final episode. Fist + exploding head had me rolling on the floor. A perfect transition from Wesley's dramatic death. "I wish to do more violence" = GOLD I figured, of all of them, Wesley would be the one to die and that would be the sacrifice needed to save the day. I didn't expect THAT ending. Great job! While last year's Buffy finale, IMO, was a bit underwhelming (Anya's off-screen death, Spike's dusting ... I had already been tipped off to the fact he would return so it wasn't as meaningful ... having WAY too many survivors at the end) ... Angel's finale was the perfect way to go out.

I have several house show tapes in addition to a ton of Observers, PWI, and PWI Weeklies from that time period. I'll post as soon as I get back to college this weekend.

He WAS on that episode of Prime Time, though I don't think he got in the door.

Well when did Jake turn heel because I was under the assumption the bachelor party came first.

Credit: Wrestling Observer WWE house show report 5-15 Spokane by Mike Sweetser Coach came out and introduced himself as the announcer for the night, and led the National Anthem, which was interrupted by La Resistance. Hurricane & Rosey defeated La Resistance after a distraction by Eugene led to Conway falling prey to the old Three Count "Countdown" finisher - Rosey lifted Conway up in a Samoan drop while Hurricane executed a neckbreaker. A very straightforward tag team match, which really set the tone for the night. Christian, Trish Stratus and Tyson Tomko came out for an interview, where Christian claimed he suffered a back injury from the cage match on Monday night and had a doctor's note stating he could not compete tonight. Chris Jericho came out to rebutt and throw the usual names at Christian and Trish, which drew out Johnny Nitro to change the match for tonight to Jericho v. Tyson Tomko in a cage. Chuck Palumbo defeated Steven Richards with a big boot to the face. Steven really got the crowd going due to his tremendous selling of Palumbo's beatdown - pulling himself up on the ropes to get back up, bouncing off to try an attack, etc. Again, a very basic but effective match. Garrison Cade defeated Val Venis with a rollup thanks to a distraction by Coach, who was still at ringside. Not exactly a great match but it still had good heat, especially on Val's part. Matt Hardy defeated A-Train with a rollup - which was literally Matt's ONLY offensive maneuver throughout the short match. A-Train clubbered Matt in the corner but missed a charge in the corner, which let Matt schoolboy him for the pinfall. A-Train went bonkers afterward, throwing chairs into the ring. Batista defeated Shelton Benjamin by sitting down on a sunset flip attempt and grabbing the ropes for leverage. This was a surprisingly good match, especially on the part of Batista, who really stepped up his wrestling here. The crowd was going crazy for Shelton by the end. Shelton hit two Stinger Splashes and went for the sunset flip, which Batista sat down on, then grabbed the ropes over the referee for the pin. 10-minute intermission time, which gave the crew time to set up the steel cage - which they actually accomplished inside the 10 minutes. Interesting note: Mike Chioda was in charge of assembling the cage, and was standing on the top rope throughout to lock the cage sections in place. Chris Jericho defeated Tyson Tomko in a steel cage match by escaping over the top of the cage. Jericho held the match together as best he could, basically pinballing for Tomko. Christian stopped Jericho from escaping at one point and was ejected. Later on, Trish came in with a steel chair, but was caught and spanked by Jericho. Tomko attempted to escape, but Jericho caught him and rammed his head three times into the top of the cage, causing him to fall and allowing Jericho to escape. While the same crew disassembled the cage, Coach and the t-shirt guy started shooting t-shirts into the crowd, but were interrupted by Eugene, who took over the gun. Johnny Nitro ran out and apologized for Eugene's behavior, and took a shirt in the groin for his trouble. Victoria retained the WWE Women's title over Gail Kim, Jazz and Molly Holly in a Fatal Four Way elimination match. The three heels triple-teamed Victoria for quite some time until Jazz attempted a pinfall and was pulled off by Molly. A double pinfall on rollups (Victoria on Molly, Gail Kim on Jazz) made the match Victoria v. Gail Kim. Gail Kim executed the Christo but was sideslammed out of it by Victoria, who quickly put Gail away with the Widow's Peak. Randy Orton retained the WWE Intercontinental title over Edge with a tights-assisted rollup. Orton was WAY over with the women in the crowd, and especially played with a group in the front row, leaning back into them a la WCW Chris Jericho and even mooning them at one point. The match went back and forth with Edge getting the advantage later, nearly pinning Orton with the Edge-O-Matic. Batista came down and distracted Edge from hitting the spear, but got speared for his trouble. When Edge got back up, Orton rolled him up and hooked the tights for the pinfall. Trish came to the ring and made it clear she was very upset with the cage match tonight, and was looking forward to taking out Lita on Raw this week - but was interrupted by Lita coming down and jumping her. Johnny Nitro came back down and made the match official. Lita defeated Trish Stratus with a DDT. That's about the best thing to say about this match, as Lita was VERY sloppy throughout the match. Chris Benoit retained the World heavyweight championship over Kane via tapout to the Crippler Crossface. If this is the Bad Blood main event, you're all in for a treat, as this was a REALLY good match. The crowd was heavily into both wrestlers and went crazy any time Benoit was on offense. Benoit started by countering all of Kane's offense with takedowns and attempts at the Sharpshooter, but ran into a big boot and was dominated by Kane, who bent Benoit back against the ringpost at one point. Kane eventually got frustrated and grabbed a chair, but was German suplexed three times by Benoit. Benoit scored with two diving headbutts and locked in the Crossface, but Kane powered out of it with a sideslam. Kane went up top for the diving clothesline, but Benoit caught him into the Crossface again on the way down. Kane attempted to power out again but Benoit kept him down, and Kane finally tapped out. All in all, a VERY good house show and it looked like everybody left happy with the performance tonight. I think regardless of who Benoit is matched up against at the PPV, be it Jericho or Kane, we're in for a quality title defense.
