WCW facts, tidbits, and stuff people forgot
Hunter's Torn Quad replied to JoeDirt's topic in General Wrestling
It was to do with Gold's Strip Club(?) in Atlanta. Hookers and stuff were goingon there. They kept putting it off because either Scott wasn't healthy enough to wrestle or Rick wasn't. They kept faking the neck injury because it was playing off of something that people knew was real, so they felt the need to constantly try and trick people into thinking it had happened again. -

He wrestled with a patch over one eye after getting drop-toe holded onto a chair by Raven. He did the narcisstic gimmick around April 1999 Mikey was with WCW for about 6 months or so after debuting in March of 1999, but was actually signed in late 1998. None that I can think of, post-NWO if Benoit v Sullivan doesn't count. More Hogan and co. And yes, that is why Goldberg got the title on Nitro, and they pissed away $7m of PPV revenue. So they could win ONE night. No. Bret wanted to win the belt from Hogan, and nobody else. No. He debuted on a Nitro in August of 1998. He came out to interrupt Hogan during a promo. -

Before Mortis. Glacier was a Bischoff idea. Bischoff is a karate mark. From '98 to mid '99, though he was rarely used. -

He killed Rey Rey with that fake job after taking his mask off. -

???? I'm pretty sure Raven mentioned this in one of his shoots. And the whole deal was dropped because the skits that lead up to it were scrapped at the behest of Big Lazy. -

I thought it was stupd, and Vince Russo is a fucking idiot. Yes, Jake Roberts was going to come in. And the swearing on that Nitro was planned. -

My favorite memory of WCW in late 1999 was them commissioning a survey to see what the fans wanted. Unfortunately, it was commissioned just before Russo took control, and by the time the results were in, Russo was in charge. The fans said they wanted more wrestling and less skits. Russo binned the results, and went in the opposite directions to what WCW's own fans were telling him. -

December of 1996, believe it or not. Hogan actually had his lawyer arrange the deal for him, thinking Wight was the future of wrestling and didn't need to be wasted in WCW. No joke. Actually, the deal was in place in December of 1997. It was just a verbal commitment, obviously, but it was still a commitment to leave. WCW just didn't bother to do anything about it until it was too late. -

That was in Feb of 2000. He signed a deal with WCW, but Paul Heyman claimed he still had Sabu under contract, and Sabu never entered WCW. It was a fake retirement angle. They knew just before Starrcade '98. That's why he did a clean job to DDP. He left because Eric fired him, and Sean refused to come back -

That was from the second WCW/New Japan Supershow. It took place on January 4th 1992. The match was crap. -

DDP didn't want to do it. Eric left just before then, because he wanted to let Russo hang himself by booking crap. Flair just wanted a peaceful life, so kept quiet. Actually, that match was on the second to last Thunder before SO. -

WCW found out from Bret on the Thursday before Souled Out that he couldn't wrestle. And Jarrett got his concussion from Snuka splashing him off the cage. -

Clash I was on March 28th 1988, and Clash XXXV was on August 21st 1997. Bret just kept working, which makes him partially responsible for the continued damage that contributed to his career ending as it did. And Bret could not have reffed the match. It's just that simple. He was in no condition to. -

Consider what a referee actually does during a match. Then consider that Bret had been in no condition to wrestle for at least 8 months, and was nowhere that condition come New Blood Rising. -

Bret was in no physical condition to referee. Abbott disappeared because they just stopped using him. Warrior was tentatively scheduled for more after HH '98, but he was just too much of a headache. Steiner shot on Konnan, with some stiff punches. -

Hogan wanted his win back from WM VI. He left quickly because even Bischoff recognized that Warrior was beyond useless. He was signed to a 1 or 2 year contract for about $1.5m a year, which WCW 'ate'. Steiner was told to do it by someone in management. -
Raw to return to the "HHH Rules Everyone" Format?

I think it's borne from Bradshaw remarking on SD that he'll never wrestling 'here' again if he loses to Booker T on Sunday. -

Luger and Buff weren't meant to get the belts. That was Rey and Kidman in the CW Tag Title match, who were meant to get the belts at Greed, but didn't. -

He was still collecting on his insurance policy with Lloyds of London. And Nash did eventually do a a job to Giant on PPV, but only after Hall hit him with a title belt. A combination of Ace, Taylor, Sullivan and others Luger and Bagwell were upset over having to do a job, so they literally laid down, thus making the match a total joke, and making O'Haire and Palumbo look nowhere near as strong as they were meant to. Yes, he was a Warrior rip-off. They went with him when the Warrior declined to come in. Renegade was recommened to WCW by Warrior's old driver from his WWF days, and, as a result, Warrior broke off all contact with said driver. -

Don't you think you're reading into a typical Randy Orton blown spot a little too much? Blown spot ? It was a shake of the hand, not a suplex. -

Hunter's Torn Quad replied to JasonX's topic in The WWE Folder
Well, there was a very subtle hint of potential problems with Maven and Orton after the six-man a couple of weeks ago. Maven went to shake Orton's hand, but Orton blew him off. If they turn Maven, they may replay that moment, and use it as a partial reason for the turn. -
They tried that once. He pointed out the logic flaws in the booking. He was soon off the committee.

I think Shawn is most likely to do the run in. Kane can't stick around to do any follow up for at least a month or so, so him doing it makes no sense. With Shawn, at least he can appear for angles and stuff to build to a match, maybe at the next Raw PPV. -

Hunter's Torn Quad replied to JasonX's topic in The WWE Folder
I'm quite sure that somewhere along the way, Bischoff would've stated that what they plan happens each week, is only for each week. Otherwise the whole HHH's team winning and then going for title matches are shot down easily and make the whole point of the match worthless. They get absolute control over Raw, which would also include the power to give matches crazy stipulations. If any member of Hunter's team screws someone else on their team over, it has to be done carefully, or they'll risk getting shafted if the team wins. It also makes it more likely that Maven could turn heel to help Team Steroids win, because his teammates won't have the power to put him in any matches. -

Please explain to me how he has to help HHH? Each person gets to manage RAW for one week on the winning team. All he has to do to have his title shot is for his team to win. Sure it is Hunter's team, but the stipulation applies to the winning team. Hence, they all can screw HHH over and eat their cake too. Well, if they blatantly screw Hunter over and let him get beaten, do you not think he'll use his week of power to get back at them ? But wouldn't the other three use their powers to fuck over HHH too? They could turn around and use that same power against him. Hence, HHH's threat means notta. If Hunter gets his turn first, he could just put them in a 3-on-the rest of the roster handicap match, with all three losing their week of power if they lose. If he gets his turn last, he'll get past whatever the other three do, and then do something even worse to them in revenge, so he comes out on top.
