I don't know if this is the actual reason...but when WCW was first debuted into WWF Television, the plans were to make it a new brand. To get some of the old WCW stigma off of them, they made a new logo for it's shows.

 

When that plan I guess fell through, and they decided to just make WCW a stable with ECW...they saw no need to change the ECW logo.

The higher ups probally thought that it looked like crap. If thats the case, I agree. Or maybe since Vince hated WCW he wanted to change everything about it, including the logo.

 

Thats the only two possible theorys that I can come up with.

1. How/when did Tori and X-Pac break up?

 

2. Where are the Tough Enough kids? I know Maven Jackie and Johnny Blaze are on TV, but what about the others? I saw Hawk on 5th Wheel a few months ago and he said he was a pro wrestler (I'm assuming he's in theindys); I haven't seen Nowitski, Matt Morgan, Nidia or Linda Miles in a long time; and I know there are some others who are probably kicking around in the indys.

 

3. I remember when HBK (as commish, I think) was trying to get all buddy-buddy with DX, and someone put him through a car windshield. It was implied it was The Corporation. Did they ever say who actually did it?

 

4. Did Booker T ever get blamed for the horridness that was the Buff Bagwell match on RAW?

 

5. Have Flair and HBK ever wrestled one-on-one?

Matt Morgan is OVW champion, Nidia was (I believe) drafted to Raw, and has appeared once so far. Linda Miles is back in OVW after her stint as Shaniqua.

 

Your Tori question reminds me - a few years ago, she was playing a ninja that helped out Raven. She was unmasked on HeAT, and then never shown again. Why?

IIRC they had a one on one match at Badd Blood last year.

They also faced each other in December 1991 when Michaels was still a Rocker.

You can easily download Flair Vs. Micheals on a houseshow on Kazaa. The copy I've seen is ***1/2 ish.

It's WWE, they just pretended it never happened and then sent Tori packing

After the Dudleys powerbombed Tori through the table at KOTR 2000, she didn't return until she became Raven's ninja. Consider that the break-up.

The others have been answered already, but Nowinski has been dealing w/ post-concussion problems (headaches, sleepwalking, dizziness).

He wound up being blamed for it because soon after, Bagwell wound up leaving/being fired.

Huh?

 

Bagwell was completely blamed for it and was promptly fired a couple days later (the hurricane incident didn't help his case either). Booker wasn't blamed at all...He went into a main event run with The Rock and hung up for a while before falling down to the mid-card/tag scene.

Actually, she became a trainer on Tough Enough, then got sent packing.

No, but it was implied that DX set him up, with HHH locking him out of the building.

I was saying Booker got blamed because I thought that is why he was totally made into a bitch for the Invasion angle.

thats not blaming him...if it was they never would have used him...He was made to be a bitch because he was a import.

 

RVD was the only one in the whole deal to not be made into a bitch.

Where is Test now? Has he been fired or was he injured?

Yeah, he injured his leg before Survivor Series 03 due to a Shane McMahon Van Terminator.

I thought he had come back from that injury though. Wasn't he feuding with Stevie and Victoria for a while?

I actually recall a throwaway segment that ended the X-Pac/Tori romance. X-Pac was hosting the Raw party at WWF New York and Tori (who hadn't been seen in months) returned. X-Pac tried to play all nicey-nice, but she was mad at him for not checking on her injury (from the Dudleyz Table-Bomb). She threw a drink in his face and stormed out.

 

 

God, why do I know that?

That's right...I forget these things sometime.

 

I have no clue what's up with Test.

I downloaded a clip from Kazaa with the Backseat Boyz getting beaten up by Albert on a Sunday Night Heat from 2001, back when they did live stuff at the World. A-Train kicks Kashmere in the face and Baldo Bombs Acid through a table. I was wondering how this came about, and if they acknowledged Kashmere and Acid as the Backseats, or just as "fans" or what.
