Fake Razor and Fake Nash

 

"Mick Foley is gonna win their world title. Heh, like that'll put asses in seats."

 

"Hulk, I got some more advice for you. You better not stop short or Eric Bischoff will go so far up your ass he'll know what you had for breakfast!"

 

DX invasion

 

Michaels' speech about dinosaurs and his "friends down south."

 

McMahon/Bischoff "match" at Slamboree

 

Oaklahoma

 

"Tonight, J-E-Double-F is G-O-Double-N-E."

 

 

Throw in some interviews with Bischoff talking about what hell the management was like and former WCW guys like Show and Jericho burying WCW and kissing McMahon ass becuase you know it's going to be on there anyway.

 

But stuff like the the owners' match that never was, the Hart family being humiliated, and Jarrett getting verbally buried are things that will make them money, as low as it may be. And it's not like Vince is ever planning his calendars on doing business with any of those people ever again.

 

PS: Throw in the less offensive Billionaire Ted skits for easter eggs.

When I think of the MNW's, the first person I think of is Coach.

 

Naturally

Collisuim Home Videos are superior to anything that Coach has ever done.

Eric Bischoff talking about what hell the management was like? He WAS management.

He was complaining about his superiors at AOL-TW seeing the wrestling product as more of a cancer than something to be proud of.

Yeah, I know, but I find Bischoff complaining about his superiors a little hard to swallow knowing his track record.

"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."

And Vince Mcmahon beget Shane Mcmahon and Stephanie Mcmahon who bequethe Triple H who then bore the new wrestling messiah and it was good....

 

Wait, what were we talking about?

A little from column A and a lil from column B.

 

(it's in response to Slapnuts - he was talkin biblical in response to my "in the beginning", and then asked "what are we talkin about again" so I said "Holy Shit" - thus inferring that what we are talking about -the McMahons- were shit.)

You forgot the part about how the end of WCW, all the backstage chaos, the leading cause of kitten murder and all bad things can be attributed to Bret Hart.

I wish I could be excited about this. I just know the WWE is going to fuck this up though. I just know it.

 

i think it's gonna be good, the last DVDs they've put out have been pretty good.

 

not counting the super fast released PPVs

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.

A sit down interview with both Bisch and Vince would be priceless ONLY if they were both being as honest as WWE would allow.

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.

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.

I have no idea about the ECW part of it, but I know Rick Rude appeared on Nitro (live) and Raw (taped) in the same night. To add to the strangeness, he had his mustache on one show, but was clean-shaven on the other, IIRC.

The RAW was pre-taped. It also came a week or two after the Montreal incident, which Rude did not feel comfortable with.

 

I have the segment in question, as well as the RAW on tape. I'm pretty sure it's the RAW where DX TP'd the ring, while on Nitro, the NWO came out for a promo and Hogan was waving someone on, and through the smoke came Rude, shocking the living hell outta me.

I would like to see the RAW/Nitro when Rick Rude appeared on both.

Personally, I liked the RAW after that. They had Harvey Whippleman playing the role of Rude and Shawn just said "Well, THAT was a tough role to fill".

 

A nice slap at a rather inept attempt to hurt the WWF by WCW.

Vince didn't even watch WCW for crying-out-loud.

Who could blame him?

They should include Sting vs. Hulk Hogan from Starrcade '97 where Bret hart pulls a screwjob on Hogan.

...or even before that, when Hogan paid Nick Patrick off to sabotage Sting's credibility, by fucking up the count (without the writer's knowledge).
