Examples of major companies conserving Money

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?

WCW seemed to have a minor obsession with being able to recycle entrance themes.

I noticed that too.

 

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.

Well, I remember the shoddy condition of Hercules' Super Invader outfit in WCW. It was literally splitting at the seams.

WCW employed two guys and used them as two teams. Disorderly Conduct/Texas Hangmen

Near the end WCW was using the same set for Nitro, Thunder and the PPVs.

Indeed they did. They actually debuted that set on the first Australian Monday Nitro show.

 

I was there. Met Sting. Ruled.

I remember towards the end of WCW, they fired almost, if not all the women.

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.
