  1. Is the squash match he did with Bret in Georgia anywhere online?
  2. He just recorded one with Bret yesterday.
  3. Assuming Sting even makes it to Wrestlemania 6 without blowing out his knee, the Hulkamaniacs would have resented him for beating Hogan just like they did Warrior. He gets the title just in time for a recession. His title run would underperform just like the Warrior's since Hogan will sabotage him by getting the program with the Earthquake, who was the only fresh heel WWF had left at the time. Vince still jobs him to Slaughter for his silly attempt to capitalize off the war. Sting settles into the upper mid card. Vince would have either got rid him during the steroid scandal or Sting would eventually jumped to WCW as Hogan's sidekick. I don't think it would have mattered. Sting wasn't going to be a mega star either way. Add to it that Sting never would have worked guys like Flair and Road Warriors, basically giving him his education that paid off later when Sting went around the horn with guys like Rude and Vader.
  4. It's the longest drawn out death rattle in history! A death rattle of the death rattle. I joked a long time ago that I thought TNA was like the undead combination of WCW and ECW leftovers.
  5. 3-Count would have been a much better gimmick in WWE. Especially around this time when it seemed they were aiming at the Nu-Metal crowd. Doesn't make it any less perfect for WCW around this time, but they could have given it way more heat up north.
  6. A few rants somewhere on the web might be all it got. He was a mid-card guy employed during WWE's lowest period of positive visibility and business.
  7. I wonder what it was that precipitated Hogan's leave of absence, and more importantly why it was treated as a retirement. My first guess is that it was to maybe have more of a serious go at acting on Hulk's part (something I say very loosely). I'm guessing the end-game to it was to always bring him back, like they did do in '93.
  8. The good thing it did was bury the lead that Virgil was going to eventually turn on him.
  9. I think Bret said it in his book, actually. Big problem with it was the color, which was probably for TV as well. I like that they painted it black for the Austin/McMahon match.
  10. And Nash destroying everybody for awhile. That was the highlight of the night, watching it. Must have been the first time I knowingly cheered for a heel.
  11. He also mentioned something on Twitter about liking the Will Ferrell GWB HBO special.
  12. I have heard that the blue cage was more stiff than regular cages of the time. Yet it has the rep it does. Strange.
  13. flyonthewall2983 replied to Smack2k's topic in WWE
    Nobody is going to mention Vince's dye job?
  14. I thought it was really interesting how they had Austin work other heels during this time.
  15. The Ultimate Warrior matches were, I believe. They sure as hell didn't call it in the ring.
  16. Randy Savage liked to pre-plan matches too, and nobody with at least half a brain said he couldn't work. I like DDP. He was good for WCW when his stock rose. He wasn't perfect at everything but there was a passion that came through, and still does. He has the charisma a professional wrestler should have.
  17. I'm not as familiar with this period, but what little I've seen of Backlund didn't make me feel that he was as disliked by the audience as some claim. It could be true, but again with what little I did watch I didn't see it.
