Here's an audio interview from July 27. He doesn't sound bitter now. http://www.midatlanticlegends.com/btr/brethart.mp3
-
I don't know about pay-per-view success but that was the normal booking practice dating back to the 60s. Match 1: Heel wins via technicality Match 2 (the following month or 2 months later): Face wins via technicality Match 3 (the following month or 2 months later): Face / Heel wins in stipulation blow off Overall, it was a successful way to do things.
-
His first world title run in 92-93 when EVERYONE on the roster was portrayed as a title contender. That was great booking. WCW did the same with Booker in 2000.
-
I think they run / ran a show there about once a year in the summer. The line up is rarely worth seeing.

It wasn't Slaughter that forced the smaller venue change; the company as a whole was in the crapper. They had been selling tickets for the Olympic Stadium almost from the moment WrestleMania 6 was over. Slaughter didn't come back until August and he wasn't in the title picture until January. As far as why it continued past WrestleMania ... WrestleMania was their first match. There was still money to be made from it. They had a several month run and had a series of Persian Gulf (No DQ) matches in the late summer. They usually involved Hogan shooting a fireball in Slaughter's face en route to winning. Another reason is that they just didn't have much top heel talent. Savage was "retired", Dibiase was working with Virgil and hadn't been in the title picture for quite a while ... that leaves us with Slaughter.

Lethal Lottery Tournaments in WCW
cawthon777 replied to Danville_Wrestling's topic in General Wrestling
I don't think any wrestling company would attempt to book a whole show on the fly, not knowing who's teaming with who until the names are drawn during a live PPV. -
I really don't think so. Bulldog surprised quite a few people by paying Vince the remainder of his contract so that he could leave for WCW. I believe it was around $100,000.

It would have been stupid for Triple H to pin Bret at that time, Bret leaving or not. This was long before the world champion did non-title jobs on free TV. Being pinned by Hunter would have hurt Bret a lot more than losing to the Patriot.

Don't recall there being a story. It was just 1) Hogan / Savage feud, 2) Savage is gone 5 months, 3) he comes back and randomly helps Hogan beat Piper.
