Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted November 13, 2003 Obviously Scott Hall's initial appearance on Nitro, along with his second appearance, and then his appearance at the broadcasters booth with Nash coming up from behind Tony DX storming Nitro WCW telling everybody at home Foley was going to win the Title that night so everybody turned it over Shane showing up at Nitro those are the obvious ones I see Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razazteca 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2003 Well it could be full of nWo and DX or be full of cruiserweight matches, I bet it will be full of DX. I wish it would include the Final Nitro and the Raw simulcast on the DVD but that would be asking for too much. Maybe also include the segments when the WCW announcers told the results to Raw matches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2003 "In the beginning Vince McMahon created Hulk Hogan. Then, Evil Ted Turner decided he wanted to destroy Vince McMahon so he bought all of the WWF Stars and copied Raw and Nitro was born. Then the NWO happened and WCW won a few ratings battles, which pushed Vince to create Attitude. Attitude was the greatest thing that ever happened to wrestling because it was so innovative and there were no heels or faces. Vince won the war and beat Evil Ted Turner and appeared on TNT. The end." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Report post Posted November 13, 2003 I don't miss WCW AT ALL. Even in it's darkest days, the WWF always seemed more competant. WCW literally screwed up every major main event angle the ever had at some point. They were a complete joke and they completely deserve to be remembered as such, especially when you look at the talent they wasted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Report post Posted November 13, 2003 Hopefully the DVD won't be TOO biased in the WWF/WWE's favor. Yeah, it's not as if the WWF came back from it's darkest financial days in history with only a small core group of loyal workers and caught up with a wrestling empire (backed by one of the richest men in the country) that controlled nearly every bankable star in the industry (most of whom became that way under McMahon) and brought wrestling to new heights of mainstream popularity and credibility in 2000 while the former empire crumbled with has-beens, is it? Oh wait... yes they did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The difference was that the WWF turned out great matches in the ME's. WCW had great stuff, but the people who they expected the fans to draw the fans couldn't.

ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2003 Rick Rude appearing on Raw, Nitro and on ECW's show all in the same week. Can someone tell me about this? I'll try my hand at this... Back around 1997, Rick Rude had appeared in ECW. Their shows taped well in advance, so it was a long time before the clips of him on it were shown. A few months later, Rude joined the WWF as a manager/enforcer for D-Generation-X. At the time, Raw had yet to go live weekly. So, he appeared on a taped Raw once. During the time between when that Raw was taped and when it was aired, Rude's WWF contract ran out (I'm assuming), and he signed one with WCW. WCW Nitro was already live every week at the time, so when Nitro came on, Rude appeared on there. He also appeared on the taped episode of Raw, which aired about the same time, as well as the ECW show. If anyone can correct me, go right ahead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WCW Nitro was already live every week at the time, so when Nitro came on, Rude appeared on there. If I remember correctly, Rude was working with the WWF without a contract, basically getting paid per appearance. So, WCW decided to give him a contract, and boom - he's on two shows on the same night. Of course, you could be right and I could be wrong, but I'm just shooting out what I remember.

Royal Rumble on 2/24, Wrestlemania 20 on 4/27 Its already bad enough SS '03 came extraless. I hope the same doesn't go for the next RR or WM 20. I just can't see them without any.

razazteca 0 Report post Posted November 14, 2003 I just hope they do not have Coach as the host for the main feature. I would rather see Vince & Bishoff with Mean Gene & Bobby Heenan do a round table discussion just like ESPN does with its shows. Coach was boring on Action and Bloodbath DVDs.
