WCW facts, tidbits, and stuff people forgot
Hunter's Torn Quad replied to JoeDirt's topic in General Wrestling
It's just a shame they waited until it was too late to start trying to do the right things. -
Don't we have a thread already for pictures of ourselves ?

There is what Meltzer had to say about SS yesterday.

I imagine she was let go when they had to put Flair in the Starrcade main event, and decided to use his family in the build up to his match with Vader. Seeing as he was vowing to retire if he lost, and they were using his family to play the angle up to the hilt, it would have taken a lot away from that aspect if he was shown getting frisky with another woman on screen. -
Unless Tighe not a pinfall that wasn't mentioned, I think it was really bad booking to not let him get a pinfall over Styles. It's bad enough putting outsiders over their own guys when there doesn't seem any plan for the own guy to get his win back, but not even letting their guy get a pinfall is stupid. While Fleisch was banged up, he mostly retired because his girlfriend didn't want him wrestling.

I guess he saw Halloween Havoc in 1995.

I found a six-man on the February 16th 1999 edition of Nitro, where Blitzkrieg, Juventud Guerrera and Psychosis beat El Dandy, Hector Garza and Super Calo, so he might have gotten a pin in that one. Whatever the case, it was his lone win of any kind on a Nitro. -

He made a deal with Hogan. In exchange for becomming head booker, Nash agreed not to threaten Hogan's spot as top babyface. I found one lone win for Blitzkrieg, pinning Super Calo on the April 7th 1999 edition of Thunder. -
I feel that whenever Cole says, well, anything at all. It's been 7 years, and I don't think he's gotten a lick better at commentating.

That was Miss Maddness, aka Molly Holly. It was meant to lead to something, but got dropped. -
Luther is really good on the mic. Which explains why they never let him talk for 4 months.

He got a try out at the WWF TV tapings on July 26th and 27th 1993, where he did jobs to Virgil and Damien Demento respectively. In between that and rejoining WCW, his most notable act was getting the shit kicked out of him by William Regal at New Year's Eve party at Eric Bischoff's house in either 1996 or 1997. -

He'll be Jose Bradshaw Layfield, John's Mexican cousin, coming in to prove his cousin doesn't really hate non-Americans. -

They would sell huge, but Vince would rather go broke using his own ideas than make money using someone else's. Well they're going to make money of ECW...what's the difference? I think that's probably because he didn't consider ECW competition. With WCW, Vince has that thing that prevents him taking anything they did seriously, and labelling everything they did as 'wrong'. -

Storyline reason was that his foot hit the floor during the Battle Royal. He had to vacate it due to injury. Syxx broke his neck in late 1997 when he landed wrong off of a Lex Luger backdrop. Arn's was just cumulative. Patrick was screwing him over in matches. And I don't remember Long with Jericho, at least not for long. Teddy left around 1999-2000 I think, but I can't be sure. I think it might have had something to do with the lawsuit that Sonny Ono and co filed. Dusty turned just because they wanted a shocking turn. Not soon enough. -

Wasn't his job to DDP at Starrcade his last match? He joined the nWo in, if memory serves, October 1996 (when he chokeslammed the FOF). His last match was 90 second loss to Kevin Nash on January 11th 1999 on Nitro. I should've guessed a Nash job. -=Mike ...OK, quickie --- has Nash actually put ANYBODY over? Ever? Surprisingly, the match was pretty even, and it wasn't even a clean job. Does his 2 minute loss to Test just after Bad Blood 2003 count as putting someone over ? -

Regardless of his limitations, and he does have them, the fans were going crazy for RVD for a while, and if they had pulled the trigger on him, who knows what could have happened. Sure, in the spotlight, his flaws might have been exposed and he would have flopped. On the other hand, he might have actually risen to the challenge and developed some decent mic skills and become more rounded as a worker. You can say the same thing about every top guy there has ever been really, in regards to finding reasons as to why they 'don't deserve' a push and should be kept back, but unless you take chances, it'll be that much harder to find the next big star.

The build-up to Austin v Rock at WM X-7 was awesome, bar Debra getting involved, and the video package for that match was incredible. Brock v Rock was superbly built to as well, with a real legit sportslike feel to it, and when the crowd exploded when Brock got the win, you knew it had hit the right nerves.

The problem with Jindrak and Reigns is that neither man has any personality, and nothing to make them seem more than a generic wrestler. Sure, we know they're Angle's henchman, but that's it. They could be anyone else on the roster for all the character devloplment they've been given. Nothing about them whatsoever makes them stand out from Generic Tall Guy #145, and nothing about them really makes you give a shit whether they stick around or not, because we've not been given to reason to.

Heenan took over Clashes right away. He also did announcing for Worldwide, as well as endless cut scenes with Gene to open them up when they taped months of tv at Disney. -
That was later shown to be Scotsman just trying to be funny, and failing, by claiming to be WtW.

Why is it that WWE are making all these blunders?
Hunter's Torn Quad replied to The Mandarin's topic in The WWE Folder
It can be done, though. They've been doing it with Heidenrape, by only putting him in the ring with smaller guys he can squash. Of course, the time comes when you have to put them in against equally big guys, and, unless they're a super worker, the air is soon out of the tires.
