WCW facts, tidbits, and stuff people forgot
bob_barron replied to JoeDirt's topic in General Wrestling
I'm more referring to his second stint of booking (1994?) and I remember Foley whining about Flair in Have a Nice Day. He mentions his ECW work and how if Flair had seen that he would've gotten a bigger push. So is Foley just bitter? Oh and being on that flight and seeing Hogan and Austin next to each other had to be awesome -

Is Austin bitter at Flair for his lack of WCW push? Or Hogan? Cause I've heard that Hogan seemed to keep him down but that Austin had heat with Flair. Given that he got a pretty good push in 94 (wrestling the garbage matches, winning the tag belts)- why is Foley so upset with Flair? When did Flair book? Why did Flair get the book? Did he piss anyone else off besides Foley? -

Didn't Sullivan treat her like shit? That's what I remember reading at that long DVDR thread -

When did they start hinting Benoit was sleeping with Woman on TV and when did he start sleeping with her in real life? -

Some more questions (thank you guys): Did Ron Simmons get the World Title so Bill Watts could show he wasn't a racist? Did Booker get the belt so WCW would have a defence in the discrimination lawsuit? Why did they have Disco job to Jumping Joey Maggs and other jobbers. Speaking of jobbers- did the angles where Teddy Long managed Joey Maggs and Jim Powers and tried to get them to win yet they never seemed to ever go anywhere -

HTQ- I heard Funker wouldn't work Victory Road b/c of Nash's involvement- not sure if that's true though. When did DDP start to get over? Was it Jan 97 when he first turned down the nWo? Also....Reading match results it looked like Savage beat Page every time they faced. How did Page get so over from that feud if he was losing all the time? -
I just liked Johnny the Bull for that angle in 2000 where Terry Funk was training him to be more hardcore and then Bull went and ruptured his pelvis. That was awesome

Did Hogan ever get the blame for the horrible Uncensored 2000 buyrate or any of the other 99-00 buyrates he popped? I know Funk hates Nash for their Souled Out 2000 match. Was he upset that Nash made him look like a joke or was there something else? Why did WCW go to a wide angle and make it hard to view matches when someone gigged? -

I thought Page got buried because he was Bischoff's friend. I still shake my head with how badly they fucked up Page in 2001. One of the reasons I hate Taker. I met DDP and he was a super nice cool guy- is that his rep? -
It would've been funnier if it was Nash

Johnny Ace was also the guy who was big on near falls right? Since he was so good with WCW in 2000- why haven't we seen this stuff in WWE today given that he has JR's job. What did other wrestlers think of DDP meticiously laying out his matches in advance? What would Page do in tag matches and the like -

Davey Boy hit the trap door, really screwed up his back but he worked a little bit after that until he had to go out with injury. That's when he had a rash of bad luck with family problems, painkiller problems and Bischoff being the nice guy that he is- fired him over FedEx. -

How much did Davey Boy have to pay to get out of the WWF and how much did WCW give him? Why didn't WCW do anything with him? (Is the answer: It's WCW) In 2000 The Cat made a ruling that there be no interference in matches and it actually led to some really good Nitros and Thunders that summer. (Except the shoot stuff- I thought summer 2000 was really underrated) Whose idea was that? -

So they changed it to DDP v. Hennig b/c Bischoff didn't want Flair around? What was up with Anvil being in WCW for like a week in 1993? Considering how over he was and how good a worker he was- What happened to Davey Boy once he got to WCW in 98? They never did anything with him and he seemed to deteoriate as well. -

Is it true that Hogan paid Nick Patrick to slow down his fast count at Starrcade 97? Why did Flair wrestle at WW3 97 and Souled Out 98 but not Starrcade. Did they ever blow off his feud with Hennig? -

Why did Nash agree to do a clean job to Goldberg at Spring Stampede 99? Why did Bagwell go over Luger at Starrcade 97? What was the deal with Savage being the ref at Spring Stampede 99? What was the angle behind it? Was DDP winning the title really a shock to everyone? -
Well Michelle only walked the dog once

Your sig is from the episode where Comet ran away from Michelle because Jesse was an idiot and let her walk the dog. It still sucked when the Rippers kicked him out though

Forbes Magazine Says NHL Owners Overstated Losses
bob_barron replied to EVIL~! alkeiper's topic in Sports
If they draft and develop players well- this won't be a problem. And you have the rights to a player until they are 30. That's a long time. If they overpay for a player and lose money because of it- that's their own fault. Look at the Devils. They let tons of star players go yet they're smartly managed and bring in good role players. You don't need a big star player to win. If the owners didn't act all stupid and overpay for lots of players- we wouldn't have this problem. The players shouldn't have to take a huge pay cut and take a salary cap because of it. I support them 100% -
I don't know- I think City of Blinding Lights or Original of the Species would be better live songs. I'm in love with the whole album though- every song is great and I'm happy with anything they choose to play on SNL.

I don't watch Mad TV so I can't answer that comparison. This was a good show though- much better then the Winslet suckfest. I think they should stop calling it Weekend Update- since it's not. It's "Two Cute Girls at an 8th Grade Slumber Party". Now if they looked like this- WU would be a lot easier to take

If a small market team is run correctly then they will do just fine. Look at the Calgary Flames. Yea- And I was saying that the owners overpaid way too many players- who weren't star players. That's the owner's fault for overbidding and driving up the market. Why should they bend and accept a salary cap because the people running the team are stupid? -
I noticed Kerry smiled a lot during the first debate- so I think Seth got it from there. He did smile awkwardly at times. He got the hand motions down as well. He also has a ton of funny lines. I think his voice was pretty good. Bush is really hard to do and coupled that with Will Ferrell pretty much making his mark as W. makes it even harder. Forte's done an admirable job

Well Jimmy has a loyal fanbase, charisma, the ability to be a leading man and is known as more then 'that guy'
-
Well I don't think he's been offered any feature film roles. He's been in some direct to video roles and movies that haven't found a distributor. He had small parts in Down with Love and Anchorman
