September 28, 201213 yr comment_5515846 It's better than the hummer angle, as bad as it was. Kevin Nash vs Randy Savage may be the single worst main event program in history.
September 28, 201213 yr comment_5515847 "It was me all along !" is one of the greatest apex of shitty 1999 Russoesque WWF. Leading up to it though had one of my favorite bits ever. When Steph was kidnapped and being held somewhere in the building RAW was at, there's a match between Shamrock and Christian I think. Anyway, it ends with Shamrock having Christian in the anklelock screaming "WHERE IS SHE?". The lights go off for the Brood bloodbath deal, and when they come back on Shamrock is covered in "blood" but still has the anklelock on and he's screaming even louder, looking like a madman until Christian gives up where Steph is. It made Shamrock look like the baddest motherfucker alive.

September 29, 201213 yr comment_5515849 Was there supposed to be someone different? One big rumour around the Internet back then was that it was supposed to be Jake Roberts. He was also supposed to show up in WCW as part as Raven vs DDP angle the year before. Yeah, we were all about Jake Roberts in the late 90's. Ted Dibiase was another of the rumours. I think Al Issacs had the scoop on it being Yokozuna as well.
September 29, 201213 yr comment_5515853 This has promise, but like I said before...IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE LEADER.It is probably going to be Eric Bischoff. Abyss/Park will be the "mole" & Bully Ray will turn on Sting.

He was also supposed to show up in WCW as part as Raven vs DDP angle the year before. Yeah, we were all about Jake Roberts in the late 90's. Page and Raven were making references to "The Snake" in their promos and then it just stopped. Typical WCW, of course. It's better than the hummer angle, as bad as it was. Kevin Nash vs Randy Savage may be the single worst main event program in history. I was 15 back then but I enjoyed not Nash pumping the sewage into Savage's limo but the promo spot for the septic service that followed immediately afterward. Aside from that, I hated every minute of that program. For me 1999 was a very difficult year to sit through as a wrestling fan.

Abyss/Park will be the "mole" & Bully Ray will turn on Sting. I haven't watched a second of this angle, but Bischoff was the first name that came to mind when I started reading this thread. I also wonder if by using Aces and 8's as a name (the "Deadman's Hand") TNA is trying to con the rubes into thinking Taker is behind it.
September 29, 201213 yr comment_5515869 Ted Dibiase was another of the rumours. I think Al Issacs had the scoop on it being Yokozuna as well. Yeah, DiBiase, that's right. The Yoko deal was not about him joigning DX rather ?
September 29, 201213 yr comment_5515870 Didn't Mick Foley reveal that he was at one point planned to be the "higher power" reveal?
September 29, 201213 yr comment_5515871 Ted Dibiase was another of the rumours. I think Al Issacs had the scoop on it being Yokozuna as well. Yeah, DiBiase, that's right. The Yoko deal was not about him joigning DX rather ? I remember the rumor being him joining the Hart Foundation.
September 29, 201213 yr comment_5515872 What if Aces and 8s is just TNA's version of the Anonymous General Manager?
September 29, 201213 yr comment_5515873 I remember the rumor being him joining the Hart Foundation. Well, I was not far off. Yeah, thats was it. And that would have made no sense either.
September 29, 201213 yr comment_5515877 I also wonder if by using Aces and 8's as a name (the "Deadman's Hand") TNA is trying to con the rubes into thinking Taker is behind it. Heh, naw, too subtle to work as that kind of wrestling angle, there's tons of ppl who don't get the refrence including me at first.
September 29, 201213 yr comment_5515879 Didn't Mick Foley reveal that he was at one point planned to be the "higher power" reveal?That is who I thought it would be. He had a history with Taker and had motivation to hate Vince and Austin.
September 29, 201213 yr comment_5515880 I recall thinking the Higher Power would be Kevin Sullivan. I had no reason to think that besides the fact that it would have been cool to have the devil worshiper in charge of The Ministry.
September 29, 201213 yr comment_5515881 Heel Undertaker and Kevin Sullivan ... wow. The awesome on-screen pairing that never happened.
September 30, 201212 yr Author comment_5515891 That would have been PHENOMINAL... Hell, I wouldn't mind KEvin Sullivan showing up in TNA as their leader back in his crazy role....It would be different at least and if run right could really do some cool stuff...
