ChrisMWaters Posted May 4, 2004 Report Posted May 4, 2004 OK, was watching WrestleMania V on video, and I just noticed something... They used the same exact ring apron as they used the previous year, except they removed the I. You can still see that the stitching from the I for IV was there. That got me thinking...what are other examples of major promotions, like WWF/E or NWA/WCW being cheap and saving money?
Steviekick Posted May 4, 2004 Report Posted May 4, 2004 WCW seemed to have a minor obsession with being able to recycle entrance themes.

I was going to make a thread about it too but never got around to it Thanks buddy! Anyway other things I noticed was in some of the dvds they don't have the inserts for chapters and don't even have chapter selection in some others.

It was literally splitting at the seams. -=Mike
The Buzz Posted May 15, 2004 Report Posted May 15, 2004 WCW employed two guys and used them as two teams. Disorderly Conduct/Texas Hangmen
Guest The Notorious CRD Posted May 15, 2004 Report Posted May 15, 2004 Near the end WCW was using the same set for Nitro, Thunder and the PPVs.
Use Your Illusion Posted May 15, 2004 Report Posted May 15, 2004 Indeed they did. They actually debuted that set on the first Australian Monday Nitro show. I was there. Met Sting. Ruled. UYI
MillenniumMan831 Posted May 15, 2004 Report Posted May 15, 2004 I remember towards the end of WCW, they fired almost, if not all the women.
Placebo Effect Posted May 15, 2004 Report Posted May 15, 2004 Those bastards at WCW wanted to cut Stevie Ray's pay towards the end. The Patron Saint of Fruity Booty was making something like $750,000 a year.
The Buzz Posted May 15, 2004 Report Posted May 15, 2004 Why in the heel would they wanna do that! Suckaz gots to know!
