[Guest The Electrifyer]

Dude, you missed FUNaki on Velocity.

[Guest TheRockIsTheEuropeanChampion]

Has Jeff Jarrett ever done a feud with Eddy Guerrero? Or wrestled him?

 

I soooo wanna see that.

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

Damn I missed Velocity too.....I was playing Final Fantasy VII and lost track of time. Did Funaki win?

[Guest HartFan86]

Torrie Wilson is cool....

[Guest The Electrifyer]

No, but his promos (two of them!) ruled.

[Guest TheRockIsTheEuropeanChampion]

Torrie: So I threw up a bunch, got skinny, and joined WCW, then the WWF.

 

Mean Gene: Thank you Torrie. Now back to Bischoff who will actually entertain you.

 

Memories...

[Guest Jobber of the Week]

What the hell? Torrie Wilson approaches you with a video camera, and you make... Stupid DJ record scratching sounds?

 

WHAT KIND OF DORKS WERE THOSE?

[Guest HartFan86]

Why does she need to go shopping EVERY FUCKING TIME.

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

What's with the French mark who just HAD to explain that not everyone feels the same way as the Un Americans to a WWE employ?

[Guest LaParkaMarka]

Hahaha, that Muslim guy is trying to get into Torrie's pants. Rock on, man.

 

And FUNaki's promos kicked ass LPYC...it's too bad you missed it.

[Guest TheRockIsTheEuropeanChampion]

ANGLE NEXT WEEK OH YEAH!

 

(*thrust*)

[Guest HartFan86]

Pretty good Confidential this week. I liked the WCW Title segment, and the rest was just blah. Next week could be intresting...with Angle training and all.

 

Mick Foley!!!! I miss him bad

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

Yeah but I was playing a kick ass game. I was right at the part where Cloud tells the backstory of him and Sephiroth. I couldn't stop the game during it.

[Guest The Electrifyer]

This week was pretty good. The Torrie Wilson segment didn't piss me off as much as it did to most of you guys, but that "magician" guy was just so fucking stupid.

[Guest LaParkaMarka]

I suppose the Torrie segment wasn't that bad...it was just a fluff piece, so I don't really care.

 

LPYC - FF7 rocks. So yeah, it makes sense that you wouldn't want to stop. First time through for you?

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

Oh Heck no I've beaten this game many a time, but there's always something I missed. The game is so deep you just can't stop playing it.

[Guest TheRockIsTheEuropeanChampion]

Mad TV is certainly innarestin' this week.

 

And I could never get into playing FF VII. Dunno why.

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

Yeah it starts pretty slow, but man when you get into it.....whoa. That and Sephiroth has to be the coolest video game villan ever.

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

I only caught the first segment (World title history) but a few things struck me as...you know...bullshit.

 

1. A note to the Big Show:

 

No matter how many times you come on Confidential and say you beat Hogan for the title...won't change the fact that you won it from Flair.

 

You never won the title from Hogan...and you are not a 2 time WCW champion.

 

It was an angle to get the belt off of Hogan (cause God knows he wouldn't just drop it in the ring) so that they could put it up for the first World War 3, and Hogan could go on vacation again.

 

2. When WCW ceased their association with the NWA in 1991 and dubbed the title the WCW title, the NWA took the belt and the lineage away from them and carried on on their own. The "World" title that HHH has dates back in lineage to 1991.

 

The NWA stuff they covered is under the lineage of the belt currently held by The Truth in TNA. that goes back to 1948, when Lou Thesz became the first NWA champion under the new collective of territories known as the...NWA.

 

Everything before that (Hackenschmidt in 1904 on till 1948) is filled with a list of names that were at some point listed as being champion of the world in one form or another...and can't really be attributed to any title, although it has sometimes been given to the NWA title as well...since what the NWA did could be seen as fixing the shattered "world" title into one...namely Thesz.

 

Either way...it doesn't fit under the WCW title in any way after they pulled out of the NWA.

 

Other than that...memories are nice

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

Actually the WCW title was created for the NWA champ. Ric Flair was named the first WCW champion when he was NWA champ. Then when Flair left WCW for the WWF the WCW title stuck around but Flair was stripped of the NWA title by the NWA. When flair came back he won the WCW title from Vader. The NWA title floated around WCW for a little while longer until WCW broke from the NWA in 93. Then the Big Gold Belt was called the International Title. They unified the International and WCW titles, but by that time the NWA title was gone from WCW.

 

You're still right the WCW title and the NWA title are not the same thing, but the WCW title I guess you could say sprouted from the NWA title in a way.

[Guest TheHulkster]

I'm suprised they made no mention of 6-time "world champion" Lou Thesz or one of the three men responsible for modern professional wrestling as we know it: 3 time champion Ed "Strangler" Lewis. Then again, maybe it isn't so suprising seeing as Lou disliked both Vince and his Father and he was a protege of the Strangler. A lot of love for Buddy Rogers though, which is nice, but Buddy only had one reign as "world champion" which was a fairly short reign for the time period. Kiniski got a lot of props too, while the Funks and Jack Brisco got small snippets. I think they should've gotten a little bit more props then they did. They were great world champions. Even though i'm nitpicking, I still enjoyed it. It's always nice to take a look at the past.

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

If they wanted to get technical about it...

 

I suppose the peice aired in good faith as the people they showed were all actually recognized "World" champions.

 

At the time when the WCW title was created, it took over as the recognized "World" championship of that company...a distinction which the NWA title has never regained.

 

However, when they start talking about lineages back to 1904 or even 1948, they are pulling your chain.

[Guest RavishingRickRudo]

HEY! Velocity KICKED ASS!

 

Kidman vs. Orton is now a feud that I actually want to see Orton in!

 

Funaki keeps stepping closer and closer into godliness.

 

D'ya think they were all told to pimp out Buddy Rogers?

[Guest The Electrifyer]

That World Champsionship bit was very cool, but it was wierd how they pretty much left out the WWF Championship and made there former competition's World Championship seem more meaningful.

[Guest brokentusk16]

Why was everybody so down on DDP's title reign? Booker didn't look happy to talk about it, and Flair didn't give him much credit either. Was it because he was friends with Bischoff?

[Guest HartFan86]

Yeah...a lot of people felt he never would have been anything if it wasn't for Bischoff...though he did deserve it.
