WCW back on TBS?


Recommended Posts

In an ironic twist, The Superstation TBS announced today that Thursday at 8:00 pm ET, which is the original WCW Thunder timeslot, TBS will be bringing back World Championship Wrestling.

 

"Ready to Rumble" will be making it's network television debut this Thursday. The movie, which was made with the involvement of World Championship Wrestling, is what eventually led to actor David Arquette becoming the WCW World Heavyweight Champion.

 

I found it rather funny that they programmed the movie to be shown in the Thunder time slot. Even more, it is, in a way, the last time we may see a Thursday Night War between WWE vs. WCW, as TBS will go up against UPN's Smackdown.

This caused me to drop my jaw and subsequently run/fall/trip over the stairs in a frantic rush to tell my brother.

This caused me to swear more in 1 minute than I had done in 2 years.

"I hear the Iraqis use RTR as a torchure device on American POW's"

What's wrong with you people? Ready to Rumble is classic cinema. It's a good bad movie.

I'll be watching R2R. I'm a mark for crap like that.

How is the thread title misleading?

 

A WCW movie is going to be on TBS.....it's not lying to you or anything...

I actually got my hopes up TBS would show Thunder reruns or something.

Exactly.

It is misleading. It's not WCW.......it's Ready to Rumble.

 

The thread title makes it sound like they're showing WCW reruns.

It stars WCW stars... the initials WCW... and it's about WCW wrestling

 

Who the fuck cares anyway if it's misleading or not?

I love the movie, it's not a work of art, but it's one of those movies that I can watch just about any time just for the hell of it, if you know what I mean.

 

I thought it was a pretty cool representation of Pro. Wrestling also, better than most.

What would the wrestling world be like now if Ready To Rumble grossed over 100 million?
