Guest maielbo Posted February 28, 2002 Report Posted February 28, 2002 I am looking for anything that has to do with he competition between the WWF and the WCW. And or Vince McMahon and Ted Turner. Basically the time that the WCW was kicking WWF's ass in rating's. And if and what the WWF did to retaliate. If there was a package that was aired on either Raw or Nito explaining the run-down of the fued, it would be very helpful. Thank you. [email protected]
Guest Tony149 Posted February 28, 2002 Report Posted February 28, 2002 The WWF came up with "Billionaire Ted's wrasslin war room". It aired on Raw in 1996. It mocked Turner as "Billionarie Ted". Hulk Hogan as "The Huckster" and "Macho Man" Randy Savage as "The Nacho Man".
Guest The Electrifyer Posted February 28, 2002 Report Posted February 28, 2002 At Wrestlemania X, they also had a match with The Huckster and Nacho Man with Scene Gene(I think that was his name) as announcer. I remember they aired lots of vignettes for it, but was it a follow up of the War Room?
Guest Tony149 Posted March 1, 2002 Report Posted March 1, 2002 The Huckster & The Nacho Man wrestled on the Free For All (Pre show) before WM XII with Billionarie Ted as guest referee. Vince McMahon & Jerry "The King" Lawler did play-by-play for the match.
Guest Drury37 Posted March 1, 2002 Report Posted March 1, 2002 Billionaire Ted-Owner of Just About Everything!!!Anyone else remember that? Thanks.
Guest DEEP THOUGHT Posted March 1, 2002 Report Posted March 1, 2002 I always found the Billionaire Ted skits rather amusing. One of my favourites was the "Larry Fling Live" one, which had "The Huckster", "The Nacho Man" and Billionaire Ted as guests. Larry introduced Ted as "My boss, your boss...pretty much everybodys boss, Billionaire Ted". It was funny how they mocked one of the ridiculous angles going on in WCW at that time by having the Larry King impersonator maintain order with a women's shoe. By the way, does anybody remember all of the skits? The ones I remember are.. - Billionaire Ted's Wrasslin' Warroom (Part I) - Billionaire Ted's Wrasslin' Warroom (Part II) - Tee Vee Trivia - Larry Fling Live - Scheme Gene Report (With footage of The Huckster and Nacho Man training for their match at WM XII)
Guest KOR420 Posted March 1, 2002 Report Posted March 1, 2002 I read an interview where Ted Turner was pretty pissed that TBS and TNT got rid of wrestling he might bring it back
Guest Drury37 Posted March 1, 2002 Report Posted March 1, 2002 TBS and TNT could have the WWA or whatever it is called!!! Thanks.
Guest Tony149 Posted March 2, 2002 Report Posted March 2, 2002 Yeah, Turner was upset AOL Time Warner sold WCW. There's been reports he wants to buy 51% of the XWF or some wrestling fed.
