Open the Muggy Gate 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2005 http://www.thewrestlingchannel.tv/forums/i...showtopic=27284 Whole lotta quotes on there from WCW shows. Some pretty funny stuff in there. Quote #73 "Kanyon then started attacking the mop. Fans chanted for Cat to save the mop from a bad beating, and Cat in fact did so" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: March 05, 2001 That's my favorite one from what I've read so far.

Paul Stanley 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2005 Oh and my favorite is: Quote #1 "Nobody has any idea why they brought a live tiger from the zoo to accompany Steiner to the ring on Nitro. Backstage, when he was trying to get a photo with the tiger, the tiger nearly took a chuck out of Rey Mysterio's eye" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: October 10, 2000.

Guest Fook Report post Posted September 28, 2005 Quote #32 "They (DDP and Mike Awesome) were having a good match when Mark Madden said in the new WCW they were going to have winners and losers and the refs aren't going to be calling DQ's. Literally seconds later, Billy Silverman called the DQ." - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: April 17, 2000 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2005 Quote #3 "Madusa came out in a bikini. The implants looked ridiculous but this is a business of excess. She came out with Nitro cologne. It was the weirdest thing as Heenan was getting over just how horrible smelling the cologne is. It is a WCW product and they were pushing how bad it smelled. Madusa started screaming it was bullshit and threw the cologne on Heenan, who reacted like it smelled like cow manure. In fact, they actually used the word manure to describe the smell of the cologne. This was weird to say the least" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: November 1, 1999. Man, I almost forgot about that. It takes a special kind of stupid to use up TV time convincing people not to buy something from your company. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dewe 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2005 My top five favorites: 1. "Reports from the Baltimore show were really bad. Scott Hall replaced Bret Hart against Sting. The only notable thing was Hall saying there was going to be a big party at the hotel after the show, and asked all the young women to ask for Scott Hall and all the 'fags' to ask for Kevin Nash" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: October 05, 1998 2. "Thursday was supposed to be a grudge Flair vs. Benoit lumberjack match. However, WCW forgot to tell Flair he was booked. Jason Hervey was in Charlotte at request of management and they gave Flair off Thunder because they were producing an upcoming Flair home video, but never informed the people writing the show about Flair having the day off. When they panicked since Flair wasn't there at 6pm, they called him and told him to get to Syracuse. At the cost of thousands of dollars, they chartered a flight from Charlotte to Syracuse to get Flair to Thunder, but due to the weather problems it couldn't get off the ground until 7pm. The show was put together with the idea that Flair would do several interviews building to the Benoit match. So virtually the entire Thunder show was filling time. Flair finally arrived at 9:55pm, but they had already changed plans for the show because they had to be off the air at 10:03pm because TBS decreed that the Chimp movie had to start on time. When Flair got there, they told him he wasn't needed and to go right back home. So, as a panic move, the decision was made to turn the Kanyon-Saturn singles match into a tag title match. However, Bam Bam Bigelow wasn't there either, so Kanyon defended the titles with Page with zero explanation given to have this make sense. It wasn't even announced as a title match until about a minute left" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: June 21, 1999 3. "Dustin Runnels was at Starrcade, being called by management to return. Runnels is reportedly being paid $750,000 per year but the company isn't using him. When he got there, the company told him they had no plans for him, and he went back home." - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: December 25, 2000. 4. "They had La Parka on the ground and drew those chalk lines around him, except he was still laying there. Gene uttered the immortal line to Juvi as he was talking Spanish, 'Don't talk Mexican to me'." - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: January 18, 1999 5. "Virgil came out wanting to join the (West Texas) Rednecks" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: August 13, 1999 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2005 (edited) I'm up to 162 and my head hurts. Is it any wonder WCW went out of business? "David (Flair) did an interview. It was weird because he was bragging about his long-legged blonde girlfriend and having a Corvette to show he hasn't done badly for himself (his real-life fiancé is Stacy Keibler), which was strange since Daffney was right there as a medium-legged brunette who is supposed to be his girlfriend, but not only that, earlier in this very same show he asked her to marry him." - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: May 22, 2000 EDIT: Quote #236 "Fans were taunting Bret Hart about his (groin) injury. (Hart) said that none of them even had groins" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: December 7, 1998 Awesome.

Tony Schiavone in his infinite retardedness killed those by saying that they sounded great but really don't hurt. After Schiavone explained how the garbage can shots don't hurt, Bigelow went out and killed Hak dead with a wicked shot. Schiavone then (again) said it made a great noise , but didn't hurt as bad as it sounded" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: April 12, 1999 Quote #111 "In an employees meeting the week before the Vegas show, Bischoff told everyone that because of the new set, graphics, open and music, Nitro would do a 7.0" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: April 19, 1999 Quote #118 "Kaz Hayashi beat Lash Leroux.

Just John 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2005 Quote #160 "Chris Jericho's final WCW match was 7/21 in Peoria, IL in a tag match teaming with Eddie against Kidman and Mysterio. Before the match, Jericho said that if he got pinned he'd leave WCW. Misterio than said everyone already knew it was his last night in WCW. (After the match) all four hugged in the ring. There were fans in near tears, as was Jericho. Kidman started a Jericho chant. Jericho said that he was overwhelmed by the response, but he still thinks that Peoria sucks" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: August 02, 1999 That site is priceless.

Guest FromBeyondTheGrave Report post Posted September 29, 2005 Quote #44 "Funk came out with chickens on both hands like they were boxing gloves" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: May 22, 2000 Quote #82 "Hart did this Mexican spot where he faked getting a low blow and started selling his groin. Schiavone said Piper kicked him low. Heenan, who knew the spot, said he didn't think so. Schiavone, when he figured out what the angle was, said only an idiot like Heenan would say that he kicked him in the groin when he didn't." - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: February 15, 1999 Quote #140 "Backstage, Savage threatened Torrie, and even gave her a slap. She noticeably laughed, ruining the scene. Even worse was Savage confronting Gorgeous George, ripping her Nash t-shirt off and literally throwing her across the room" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: July 12, 1999 Quote #215 "The Demon vs. Vampiro feud was scheduled to go like this. Demon was to be revealed as the Son of the Devil, I swear I'm not making this up, who had turned good because he turned his back on his father. Vampiro would be revealed to have been sent down, or up, however the geography goes, to garner revenge. On the New Years Eve PPV, Demon would toss Vampiro into a vat of holy water, and when he got out, he'd change to a new character" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: September 20, 1999 Quote #230 "It was apparent within five minutes that we can add color commentator to the list of things (wrestling, doing interviews and booking) that Kevin Nash can't handle. He started by saying that everyone said he was a bad booker but he was smart enough to book himself into a retirement angle so he doesn't have to take any bumps and still makes big money. He spent the rest of his show doing his 'I'm too cool for wrestling' gimmick, which would work if he was funny. Nash spent the rest of the show mocking Tenay's call of Duggan's finisher as the 'old glory' by calling Misterio's move an 'old glory huricanrana' and the like so many times that Tenay even told Nash he wore the joke out. Nash continued with the line the rest of the show" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: September 25, 1999 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BHK 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2005 I was going to say that there are too many to list, but when I saw this I knew nothing would top it: "A Tv Series starring Duggan called 'Biker's Court' was attempting to be sold for syndication at the NATPE convention last week. It was a worked cross between Judge Judy and Jerry Springer, with bikers as the jurors, a silicon implanted baliff and Duggan carrying his 2X4 as the judge. A typical episode is a midget smoker who is suing the tobacco companies claiming smoking stunted his growth and asking for compensation for a multimillion dollar NBA career that he didn't have" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: February 21, 2000.

10 Pounds 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2005 This is hysterical I remember watching one Nitro on TSN, maybe in 1999 or 2000, and during the commercial breaks, there was NOTHING but Pizza Pizza ads. Every one of them lasted maybe 15 seconds and consisted of WCW wrestlers just saying the company's slogan. I don't remember the slogan but you had like Rick Steiner saying it, afterwards it was Shane Dougals, followed by Lash Leroux and it went on and on and on... As for the thread goes, my favorites quotes that weren't mentionned already : Quote #54 "A fan hit Goldberg with a cardboard Star of David" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: October 16, 2000 Quote #109 "Flair is about to be dropped from the Time Magazine Man of the Century internet balloting where he is currently in second place behind Jesus Christ. More than 20 million people have voted, making it the biggest web poll in history, with Flair getting more than 310,000 votes as of 3/31. Flair is being dropped because Janice Castro, the editor of Time.com, said his showing is due to unfair lobbying from wrestling web sites. Jesus is about to go down as well, as religious organizations have gotten members to flood the ballot box too. Time.com is planning an exit strategy, however with the God of wrestling and the Son of God removed, the big winner in the poll appears to be Adolf Hitler, who would become the front runner" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: April 12, 1999 Quote #247 "On the Time Magazine internet balloting for Man of the Century, Ric Flair is now in third place trailing Jesus and Adolf Hitler. Raven is in ninth place" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: November 11, 1998 Quote #112 "They are going to send DJ Ran to house shows thinking it will help attendance" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: June 7, 1999 Quote #122 "Bischoff said the Higher Power was initialed VM and that on the other station they just keep recycling the same crap. Bischoff figured it was VM, but didn't know. Backstage when Raw was on and so many people were watching Raw instead of paying attention to their own live show, he was relieved that it was VM so he didn't look bad" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: June 14, 1999 Quote #289 "Barry Darsow (doing his golfer gimmick) was supposed to wrestle Hammer, and blew it off saying that he had an early tee time and left. ...Scott Steiner then yelled over the p.a. at the crowd 'Blow me'." - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: October 12, 1998 And the quote form the Regal book : "The night Vince Russo started a bunch of us were called into the office by Arn Anderson, an agent in WCW who now does the same for WCW. Arn Anderson said 'Guys, I'm very sorry to have to put this to you. But this is exactly what I have been told to say by Vince Russo. You are all in an on-the-bubble battle royal. It means you are all on the bubble of getting fired. Whoever wins will keep his job and the rest of you will lose your jobs. And he wants Chavo Jr. to go over' We all looked at eachother. 'Is this for real?' Arn said 'I don't know' All I know is that Chavo won, Chavo stayed and everybody else got fired over a period of time." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2005 Bischoff wasn't even around half the time by 1999, he was off with his daughter in Europe, or Japan, or dicking around in Hollywood. I think by the time Russo was there nobody really gave a shit anymore, so no one would have attacked him. I think some were likely pissed at Nash during his booking run, but no one ever did much or said much because 1. Nash is fucking huge and 2. The guy is a charmer. How can anyone hate Nash? Hell, I know all the shitty backstabbing things he did while booking and I still like the guy. That takes talent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
