Guest Report post Posted June 18, 2002 One of WCW's biggest mistakes that is almost never mention. I remember being excited when the annoucement was first made being an 12 year old mark at the time. The WCW was trying to be hip with the young teen crowd and I "knew" that it would work. Then, I found out that this was to be apart of an angle with Konnan, Rey Jr., Curt Henning, Barry Windham, Kendal Windham, and that cowboy guy that died and I knew it wouldn't work. To make matters worse, the crowd never responded Master P. and the No Limit Soilders. I guess it had to do with the fact that WCW also had a car in NASCAR racing which is as WHITE-TRASH as you can get. Add to the fact that most of their shows weren't in big arenas in the east by this time in 1999, the WCW has its ROOTS in the South, and most WCW fans were WHITE SOUTHERNERS and you can figure out why it didn't work. In fact, the fans didn't even cheer when Master P. performed in his HOMETOWN and CHEER the West Texas Rednecks. It was so bad that Master P.'s contract was cut and WCW lost millions of dollars in the process. Poor WCW. So anyway, DISCUSS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Shaved Bear Report post Posted June 19, 2002 i remember rooting for the Redneck's, and all my frineds liked rap, and they were like, you like those hicks, whats wrong with you, and im like, they don't suck, HOODY-HO! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest razazteca Report post Posted June 19, 2002 I remember those days and must say DJ Ran and that stuff animal mascot were the worst things on WCW at the time. I also feel sorry for Brad Armstrong for all of the lame gimmicks that they made him do at the time. And where are the No Limit Soldiers now, where is Swoll? If Darrell of Tough Enough thinks that size matters than he should study this era. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted June 19, 2002 My tastes being as bad in wrestling as they were for rap back when I was 14, I was a big mark for Konnan and Master P. I thought the whole No Limit thing was cool. (Until they started calling Brad Armstrong B.A., which was a blatant rip off of his brothers tag partner) on a side note... I've always thought there are so many paralells with rap music and wrestling. Both are misunderstood and conceived to be "trashy" by the general adult public. Both have strong fanbases with the younger demographic. And some of the most untalented guys (Hogan & Taker for wrestling, Ja Rule & Master P for rap) are on top, while the people with the real talent are stuck in indy feds (American Dragon) or indy labels (Aesop Rock)...

Guest J*ingus Report post Posted June 19, 2002 He got all up in my area, and I shot him. No, actually I don't know. As for P, hell, his movies have all bombed too. Nobody wants to actually see him doing anything, they just buy the albums (but not even as much now as previously, these days). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mark4steamboat Report post Posted June 20, 2002 I loved the rednecks and the theme rocked. Good gimmick as opposed the no limit shit. just think if it was now, we'd see lil romeo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Invader3k Report post Posted June 20, 2002 I think after the WWF's success with Mike Tyson in '98, Bischoff thought that he was just one big celebrity appearance away from regaining the upperhand in the Monday Night Wars. I mean, think of everyone they tried to bring in to boost ratings...KISS, Master P, David Arquette, Will Sasso...probably others I am easily forgetting.

Guest dreamer420 Report post Posted June 20, 2002 I'm sure WCW thought it was going to be huge business. At the time master p was one of the biggest acts going so it probably seemed like a great idea for wcw to sign him. just think, if he had gotten over, how fast would master p have been wcw champion?

Guest dreamer420 Report post Posted June 20, 2002 i smell something, but it isn't a buyrate. i think if the opening bell actually rang on a match that potentially bad, then the ring that the match is taking place in would probably suck all living matter into it destroying the universe.

Guest lomasmoney Report post Posted June 20, 2002 I think the West Texas Rednecks theme went like this: blah blah blah...and its a bunch of crap Iiiiiiiiiiiiiii hate rap. They could gone platinum with that song Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Report post Posted June 20, 2002 I have been trying to figure out for a long time just who exactly is buying all of these albums that they come out with in the South.

Guest PlatypusFool Report post Posted June 20, 2002 I bought a fat-ass doll of Master P in a skanky and extremely cheap supermarket for like two english pounds. It was hilarious, he was decked out all in camo clothing and he had removable sunglasses and cap. He also had a 'no limit' plastic medallion which was the size of his head and was moulded in the cheapest possible way. All of this is without mentioning... ... the sound chip. That's right, this most cheap-ass of all cheap-ass things had a fucking sound chip, and it was the single most horrible yet amusing thing I've ever heard. There is no way I can communicate the sheer awfulness of this in mere words, but I shall attempt. Firstly, it had NOTHING to do with Master P, it didn't sound like music or lyrics or anything he might possibly say. After pressing the sound chip you heard a 'naaaaaa' sound, said in a sharp, weaselish, accusing tone. This was quickly followed by 'na-na-na-naaa', which was spoken in a distinctly sarcastic tone of voice, like a little child might make if he had one-upped his friend, or Nelson from the Simpsons makes on a regular basis. This, of course, became something of a cult object for me and my mates and we worshipped it's crapness for some months before kicking the doll to death. We still got that sound chip though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest buffybeast Report post Posted June 20, 2002 I thought the West Texas Rednecks theme was "Good Ole Boys". I loved their video for the song where they were out four wheeling and stuff. I always cheered for the Necks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest zacalex919130 Report post Posted June 20, 2002 Master P was by far one of the worst moments in wrestling when a celebrity enters a federation. Master P and The No Limit Soldiers had the most stupid feud with The West Texas Rednecks in WCW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest AlwaysPissedOff Report post Posted June 20, 2002 "Good Ole Boys" was the second song they used when the gimmick had gone beyond insanely irritating to outright bullshit. I hated both sides of that feud and wished death on everyone involved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bravesfan Report post Posted June 20, 2002 "Rap is Crap" was during the No Limit Soldiers/Mysterio and Konnan/"Silk the Shockker's Birthday on Nitro" period. The song and video was done to overkill on Nitro and Thunder, with the song released on the 2000 "WCW Mayhem" Album. The Rednecks were still over at this point based on the fact that most of the crowds outside of Atlanta HATED Master P, so after the Rap period it was onto... "The Good Ole' Boys". This was about when the angle went south, because of the repeat overkill of the tron video on all TV shows. Oh, and that feud with DJ Ran too... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I not going 2 lie I like Master P at first when he came that was because the No Limit crew that surrounded him I got a couple of his albums there not that bad. Southern Underground Covers are play out they are too fake looking. South and The Midwest are generally big supporters of the Southern sound. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
