WWE Fast Lane... Live as it happens
What would be the alternative? What a weird statement. You don't have to completely lie to hype a match. Makes them seem completely out of touch. Something tells me PWO isn't the epicenter for what the majority of the WWE audience want to see. Let me repeat. Wanting to see a match does not make it a match we have been dreaming about for years.

WWE Fast Lane... Live as it happens
Why are they talking like Sting-Triple H is a match that people have been dreaming about for years?

Re-booking WCW from Nitro to infinity and beyond!
WCW Monday Nitro Freedom Hall in Johnson City, TN September 18, 1995 The show opens with Eric Bischoff, Dusty Rhodes & Steve McMichael running down the events of last night's Fall Brawl. There will be an update on Hulk Hogan later in the evening after the vicious attack by The Giant. The main event tonight will be Brian Pillman challenging Sting for the United States title after his victory last night over Johnny B. Badd. 1. "Mr. Wonderfull" Paul Orndorff vs Marcus Bagwell w/ Scotty Riggs Orndorff comes out with more confidence than ever before. He has a nice new robe and some sexy women carry a full length mirror with him for him to pose into, ala Lex Luger in WWF. He gets the win with a piledriver in 8 minutes. Bagwell put up a valiant effort. "Mean" Gene Okerlund is in the ramp and brings out The Dungeon of Doom. Sullivan does most of the talking about how Hogan is gone and out of wrestling after The Giant put him through the ring last night. He demands that the WCW executive committee hand the title over now! Sabu gets Sullivan's attention. Sullivan reminds everybody about Sabu putting Randy Savage through a table last night. Sabu wants Savage at Halloween Havoc to prove who the real savage in wrestling is! 2. Eddie Guerrero vs Mr. JL Eddie Guerrero gets the win in about 5 minutes. A fun back and forth move to get the crowd going. We are altered to something happening backstage and then send a camera man. Savage is in the back destroying the locker room and muttering to himself about Sabu. We get an update on Hulk Hogan from the Doctors. He says that Hogan has cracked ribs and he is doubtful for the time being. Eric, Dusty and Mongo are shown talking about the situation. What will this mean for the WCW Title and for Hogan's career? 3. WCW United States Champion Sting vs Brian Pillman Brian Pillman gets the win at the 16 minute mark after Pillman distracted the referee while Arn hitting Sting with brass knuckles. Arn Anderson joined Pillman at ringside half way through the match. Post match they celebrated, as Pillman is the new US Champ, until Flair ran to the ring and they left. Leaving Sting and Flair looking at each other as the show ended. During those last moments Eric promised that Luger will be at the next Nitro to issue a special challenge and the main event will be Kevin Sullivan vs Randy Savage.

WWE Fast Lane... Live as it happens
This is an interesting show. It could be an awesomely great show if they allow it, but we all have a feeling the booking will get in the way. Every single match could be awful to awesome.

How To Top The End Of The Streak For Shock Factor?
That would be pathetic, yet hilarious. Imagine Cole and JBL trying to sell that shit on commentary, complete with Heyman throwing ceremonial salt meant for Bryan in Brock's eyes?! That's arguably the greatest thing ever. Anyway, I don't know if I'd be so quick to say Cena turning heel wouldn't be as shocking as Brock beating Taker. I'm not saying it would be, but I wouldn't rule it out either. Completes depends on how it is done. If Cena turns heel forming a stable with Orton & Batista & Big Show type of guys being some kind of old guard trying to stop the new young guys from taking their place with a vicious beat down on the hot upcoming face. I think that would do it.

[2000-01-21-ECW-TNN] Yoshihiro Tajiri vs Super Crazy (Mexican Death)
After a year long few, that was mostly civil, these two let loose with a vicious "Mexican Death" match. Blood, high flying, insane kicks. This one had it all. There is one moment where Crazy is out on his knees and is all wobbly and Tajiri sits down in front of him and does a mocking pose. It's just so great.

[2000-05-14-ECW-Hardcore Heaven] Yoshihiro Tajri vs Steve Corino
This was a classic blood bath as Tajiri finally fights back against Corino and just destroys him. Tajiri is a sadistic monster wiping Corino's blood on his chest and killing him with kicks and putting him through tables. Corino (the heel) makes a few valiant comeback attempts, but he can't match Tajiri. I LOVE this match and have it at about ****1/4.

Who is the worst booker ever?
I'm still amazed that a wrestling company can have an entire crowd chanted to fire somebody who doesn't even appear on screen and just brush it off. The whole crowd wanted Russo gone, yet they kept with him. Now, if he was great and you did that maybe... but it was Vince Russo.

The booking of Daniel Bryan going forward
WCW did quite well with more titles than the WWE currently has. It's not about reducing or increasing the belts, it's about booking then well.

Who is the worst booker ever?
Those damn shambles. If he didn't do them I could still be watching WCW Worldwide from Disney/MGM. Which in its early days before Nitro was quite entertaining. What are you talking about? Those shows were awesome after Nitro debuted. Random luchadores and other guys. So much fun.
