That was probably to get the IWGP Champion(Norton) on WCW's Top PPV and please NJPW.

Only on House Shows.

My Moderate Changes: Get a consistent set of Rules for Cage matches(over the top rules or not) and have a top 10 like WCW did, that way a match between Chris Jericho and Batista would actually have a reason to happen, having a Jack Tunney type authority figure replacing the GM's would be nice as well. My Tiny Changes: Stop relying on combinations of Benoit,Michaels,Benjamin/Orton/Edge vs. Evolution for Raw Main Events. Edit: Move Some of the Sunday Night Heat crew to Smackdown, Richards,Venis and Maven namely.

What's the reason for Alex Wright getting an undefeated push for 6 months until Slamboree and then having his push stop? he didn't really do anything then for nearly 2 years until his heel turn. I know Flair was high on him so the only thing I can guess is that Wright was depushed to spite Flair.

92 had some good figures released in Ric Flair,Skinner,Papa Shango,The Mountie,Berzerker,Shawn Michaels and the New Foundation. When the WCW figures came out in 91 I bought Sting,Luger,Windham and the Steiners, unfortunately I couldn't get a Flair figure until the WWF one came out. Edit: I hated the Figures with the legs stuck together, ruined my LOD and Rockers matches.I was also angry when I found out that you couldn't move the WCW ones. Looked at my collection and I found an El Gigante figure stood next to the Fabulous Freebirds, can't believe I forgot I had them Just found this, I didn't collect after 92 so I didn't know The Smoking Gunns had figures. 90-94 Hasbro Figures The site also has WCW and AWA remco figures, The Flair AWA one is my favourite because of the robe although the Hansen one isn't bad either.

Didn't Tomko debut on a Raw in Canada? There's a Canadian link for him.

Ricky Steamboat Sting Bret hart Vader Edit: Do tag teams count as one nomination? teams like the Freebirds and Road Warriors probably wouldn't get in based on their singles careers in America.

You got the Snitsky/Kane match right as well. Edit: I only voted that myself to hear JR get confused between Kane and Chain.

HHH can feud with Flair until Royal Rumble and Orton will probably have Batista to go through since Orton hasn't beaten him yet. Edit: Not sure how they stop the two from fighting in tags/Having brawls from Rumble to Wrestlemania but Bischoff can always do the "no physical contact until Wrestlemania" thing after Rumble.

On the IGN videos Mankind and Beefcake have their real themes, I wish Mankind's was that one he used briefly in 98/99 instead of the music he uses now. Edit: I wish Fink would announce the legends, hearing Lillian introduce Brutus Beefcake sounds weird.

If you want an arm based move try the Rings of Saturn or a Crossface Chickenwing(better as it's quicker to put on)

How about a Diamond Cutter? quick move that can be done to anyone and has a load of ways to be used. Get some tapes of DDP in wcw from 97-98 and you'll easily have at least 5 different ways of doing it. It's also a good idea to have a Trademark submission move, try a Texas Cloverleaf if you want one that looks good. Edit: Just make sure you do it DDP's way and not Randy Orton's

Being fair to Psicosis, guys like Regal,Ultimo Dragon and Rey Misterio at his peak couldn't get anything decent out of the guy. That Artist push was terrible, pinning Psicosis and La Parka especially was a travesty. Was this the last WCW match for Psicosis? If so what a way to go.

I'd expect either Edge or Lita to turn tonight(maybe both) and if Edge doesn't turn then I'll guess he and Benoit will win the Tag Titles again.

HHH's opponent - Shawn Michaels Jericho's oppponent - Val Venis(it was either him or Richards but Val's better in my opinion) Diva's battle royal outfits - Nurse Christy Hemme vs Carmella DeCesare stips - Aerobics Challenge Snitsky vs Kane stips - Chain Bischoff vs Eugene stips - Loser wears a dress(reminded me of Brian Pillman) Flair vs Orton stips - Submission(to see what Orton would use as the finish) Edit: If Flair/Orton is a cage match as hinted at by the WWE and they don't want to give anything away then the match will have to go first or they'll use the old style cage which can't be raised by cables. Or they can leave a cage up there and do a different match swerving us.

Was checking DDT Digest and saw this gem from Dusty at Uncensored 97 "They done laid his tired ass out! Oh, excuse me at home, folks"

From this show I remember really liking the Bret/Sting match and La Parka getting his biggest win ever in WCW(The Randy Savage thing doesn't count)

The Godwinns Men on a Mission The Samoan Swat Team(Fatu and Samoan Savage) El Gigante and PN News The Bolsheviks The Russians(Nikita Koloff and Ivan Koloff) Edit: Gigante and News teamed once on an episode of Worldwide.

That finish has always bugged me, I understand protecting Piper, Hart and Mountie(being pushed at the time) but Dibiase and Virgil especially could have taken a pin or submission.

I actually liked The opening and SMW Tag matches.

On Paper that card looks awful and yet the advertised one was even worse(Honky Tonk Man pulled out at last minute) Vader/Duggan was the best thing on the show, Duggan seemed motivated and had Vader been in the mood it could have been as good as the Vader/Boss matches. Giving 15 minutes to 2 rookies at your biggest ppv of the year was suicide, If WCW wanted to push Alex then give him someone like Regal to face. Even though there wasn't long to plan the match This should have been so much better, Badd was really good from 94 until his knee injury, Arn just went though the motions working on the arm for 10 minutes before a quick and abrupt finish. The Nastys and Harlem Heat must have wrestled each other on at least 5 PPVs without ever doing anything decent. Awful, T no sold everything and the only redeeming part was Evad getting his ass kicked after the match. Sting had an awful last few months in 94, Hogan was phasing him out for obvious reasons and at the Biggest show of the year he can't even get a decisive win over John Tenta. Worst Starrcade main event ever, Sting/Hogan had a hot crowd saving it but this had nothing, No one bought Butcher as a World Title contnder. Why were guys like Pillman,Rhodes,Guardian Angel and Regal left off the card? They would have improved the lower card matches.

Today's been great in terms of football games, I've played PE4 for about 7 hours and when I catch up with my PC stuff I find out the gold demo of FM 2005 is out. FM 2005 Gold Demo Link

Rick Martel was the other guy. They should have included their match on Raw the following week. Edit: Beaten to it

I feel sorry for Scotland, they can't even beat Moldova away and were actually very lucky to draw. Speaking of Moldova We're probably the only English club to have had Moldovan international player, Ivan Testimitanu who was rated as one of there best players at that time(1999) That same year We also had a Hungarian defender called Vilmos Sebok who got a Hat Trick in an international match even though he was stuck in our reserves, I doubt any english clubs can say that either. Even with that International "talent" we still got relegated from Division 1. Edit: Pro Evolution Soccer 4 is out tomorrow, I'm pleased they have every team in the premier,Serie A and La Liga. I hope Tommy Doherty's in the NI squad, he'll be the first ever BCFC player in a PES.
