The "edgiest" thing about those shows was when the bikers booed Harlem Heat.

Tito's IC Title loss to Savage was retconned to Davis seeing Savage cheat and ignoring it.

Oh god... I forgot about that one. Jesus... that one was awful. I always figure that was the tribute being talked about when references to an insincere one were made.

Oh, duh: In the only known incident of HHH injuring someone besides the JR match, there was the incident where he blasted Chris Benoit and referee Jack Doan with unusually hard chairshots to the head, knocking them out (and Benoit was unable to stand up on his own for several minutes after regaining consciousness).

Danny Davis was who Dave was reporting would be Jesse's partner, IIRC.

The complete musical works of Hulk Hogan!

He also really blatantly sandbagged Eddy Guerrero in their one singles match on the 2004 draft show. Oh, and on the insecure as opposed to straight-up douchebag side of things, there was the story about how magazines were not allowed to show HHH "in a vulnerable or disadvantageous position" in photo features on of one of the SD vs Raw video games.

Somebody needs to remind Bryan what "work" and thus "worker" mean in wrestling.

Oh, and WRT Jericho, there was that item about HHH sarcastically going up to every wrestler on a house show tour and sarcastically gleaming about how Jericho was coming in and will be the savior who brings business up so much that everyone will be swimming in money.

The above match, the match from the Eugene program where Regal gets stretchered out...what's the third? You're not alone in finding that strange, by the way.

Flair and Steamboast pushed for one last match between them at WM for years. The other story was separate. Flair's last match in the Greensboro Coliseum (his home arena for years) on the retirement run was against HHH. HHH said he couldn't do a job because he had a match with Regal next the week that would be jeopardized or whatever if he lost to Flair, so the finish was some sort of shmoz. The Regal match the next week was a 3 minute nothing match.

I can never remember whether I'd told this story before, but in 2000 my dad worked with someone who lived in the same apartment building in Manhattan as Stephanie McMahon. At some point (Spring or Summer I'd guess) he saw HHH going up to Stephanie's apartment. It was long before it broke publicly that they were together and while he was still believed to be with Chyna.

Cheated on his long-time girlfriend with their boss's daughter and allowed all of their peers to find out before she did.

It also doesn't fit with the pre-hiring testing, which was just starting around that time. He never would've been hired in the first place if it was for failing that kind of test, and I doubt that he would've been immediately re-tested. It seems like they haven't shown any interest in him since then, so what the hell happened?

Claudio has maintained since the day he was released that he has a green card and that there would be no paperwork issues.

Well, no, but Jingus was asking about the gains, not the losses.

Someone else will need to refresh my memory on the details, but wasn't there some kind of obscure Turner accounting practice which artificially bumped WCW's net revenue up during the boom years? Something like crediting them with being paid money from some other branch of Turner which technically wasn't income, but was counted as such anyway. That's one reason why the 96-98 years were such vastly better financial statements than all the others.Two things changed:1. Early in the Nitro era, Bischoff got TBS and TNT to pay rights fees to WCW for the TV shows. If this had been done before, WCW would have never had a year in the red. 2. Certain wrestlers were being paid by other divisions of Turner Broadcasting for creative accounting reasons, hence the relatively small amount of wrestler contracts that the WWF procured via buying WCW's assets. EDIT: Slickster beat me to it.

Also, I thought Wacholz rolled over from '93.

Awesome.

Kendrick was for sure.

No....NO.

He meant the WWE travel issues.

Although, when I say stuff like that, I mean it as a compliment.
