  1. I'm not as down on Jericho as most people online appear to be these days, but I believe that he needs to take some real time off. After being squashed by Hobbs and then later losing to Takeshita by his own submission hold like he's Kerry Von Erich against Taurus Bulba, it felt like Jericho being written off so he could freshen up his character. I appreciate the fact that he didn't get his wins back. Since he doesn't appear to be going anywhere, he should be used to put over Shane Taylor who's overdue a win outside of ROH.
  2. I noticed that Sting's run in AEW has led to a lot of people who didn't consider him great to re-evaluate their stance. I feel like the blame people would often place on Sting about how he wasn't a draw is finally being rightly placed on the incompetence in WCW (ex. Mike Sempervive on F4W and Kris Zellner on the Between The Sheets podcast both talking about how WCW's issues with attracting fans wasn't any fault of Sting's). Sting and Bret Hart were my all-time favorites and I'm happy that Sting was not only able to get a retirement on a grand stage but also get what I felt was universal praise from the fans and people in the wrestling industry. It's great that he had a promoter who was willing to allow him to go out on his own terms (I know there was talk that he wanted to lose the last match, but thankfully he was talked out of it). He could have retired when he got injured by Seth, but I'm glad that an injury didn't dictate the ending of his career like it did with Bret. He could have retired in 2009 when he put over AJ Styles at Bound For Glory or back in 2001 when WCW went under but his retirement and his career wouldn't received the recognition that it deserved.
  3. He exposed the business by revealing that he was a man and not a shark on a 1996 episode of Nitro.
  4. Marlo Stanfield is All Elite.
  5. In late 2010 TNA, Doug Williams beat AJ Styles with the Styles Clash during on of their PPV matches for the TV title.
  6. Now all I can think of is Luchasaurus eventually falling out with Christian Cage and having his version of the John Tenta "I'm not a shark, I'm not a fish, I'm a man" promo.
  7. He's going to harass Jeff Jarrett about Jerry after the Nick Wayne storyline is done with and I'm sure he called Tony Khan to request a program with Mike Santana after watching his sit down interview talking about losing his father.
  8. This is a match that should be in a steel cage.
  9. I was kinda hoping with Hobbs on his way to going face that he'd end up trying to make amends with Starks because I always wanted them to get a run with the tag team straps together. I think Starks not heeling during the ceremony was just because Martha was there presenting the awards just like Cole/Britt last year. Now with Starks going heel, he goes from being the one I want to see as the next TNT champion to being one of guys I want to see end Orange Cassidy's reign whenever that time comes (Takeshita or Swerve in a rematch being the other). I thought Bullet Club Gold was winning so they could drop the belts to MJF/Cole.
  10. Truth be told, I would be down for a 3 tier cage match. I know the rep is bad because of Hogan/Savage vs The Dungeon Of Doom & David Arquette, but I always loved the off the wall gimmick matches that WCW did just to do something different. Just no Chambers Of Horrors or Viagra on a Pole matches
  11. And now I'm just sad that we never got an Eddie Kingston/Scott Steiner feud just for the promos.
  12. I'm not with the WWE method of having 2 of whatever gimmick match (Elimination Chamber, Hell In The Cell) their PPV is named after so both can have one but I wouldn't mind having a 2nd Blood & Guts (since we are definitely going to get Elite vs BCC) with Punk/Starks/FTR vs White/Robinson/Guns (or 2 other people in their place) with Starks getting the big win for his team. If they're trying to keep White strong for Punk, then a Starks vs Christian/Luchasaurus feud for the TNT Title would be the best option, and much better than Wardlow going for the belt again just to lose it a month or two later.
  13. AEW rules the motherfucking world!!!!
  14. Thinking of HBK's 2002 return and it makes me wonder how his in ring return would have been handled had Kevin Nash not torn his quad in July. At the time, Shawn's in the nWo with Kevin Nash, X-Pac, and Big Show and Kevin Nash. Nash cut a promo with an ultimatum that Triple H join the nWo, but there was never a response from HHH by the time Nash's injury took place. Do they go the route of having HHH turn heel and join with Nash or does the program end up being heel Nash (with HBK) vs face HHH? That also makes me wonder if HBK's in ring return ends up being a heel HBK vs HHH in a reverse of what we got at Summer Slam 2002.
  15. I want a Christian TNT title run but I'm in the same boat about Wardlow losing again. Ideal situation, Wardlow wins the ladder match and then Christian pulls an Edge move and beats up (or has Luchasurus beat up) one of the people scheduled to be in the battle royal and is the surprise entrance to eliminate Orange Cassidy and win the International title. My problems with that scenario is that it would involve Orange Cassidy losing his championship and it would involve Christian wrestling another match after being in a ladder match.
  16. If I'm going to have Charmed on my TV for hours, can they at least air the episode with Scott Steiner, Buff Bagwell, and Booker T?
  17. The thing I remember most about RSPW were those Shoot Vader Shoot! posts that were popping up during the build up to any of the Hogan vs. Vader PPVs. Also the only place where 10 year old me could talk about WCW to someone other than my dad since everyone in my age range were strictly WWF fans.
  18. I remember one crowd chanting "Whoop That Trick" during the Edge/Lita/Hardy run back in 2005 If "Whoomp There It Is" came out before early 1990, that would have definitely been one of the wrestler's theme song in WCW (maybe Ron Simmons, but then we miss out on "Don't Step To Ron").
  19. Tempted to leave work and deal with the consequences just to watch that segment.
  20. especially since Marvel Comics had the WCW comics at the time.
  21. With all the discussion about Bill Watts and WCW, I often wonder how things turn out had he been the one to get the spot in 88/89m after Turner purchases the company from Crockett. I think there was talk about wanting him as the booker in 89 but he didn't want to answer to Herd, but what if he gets the Executive Vice President position and there is no Herd to begin with? If he comes in at the end of 88/early 89, I doubt he has to worry about cutting costs as much as possible compared to 92 so he's not rubbing talent the wrong way. I wonder with him being away from wrestling for less time in this scenario leads to him running a more acclaimed product compared to 92. Then I also wonder if he even does that Torch interview that he did in 91 if he's in charge of WCW at the time.
  22. I want them to keep Orange Cassidy's singles winning streak going until reaches Jade Cargill numbers before having Brody King end it to become the unstoppable force holding onto the International Title.
  23. I was hoping that he would go for a frog (dogg) splash like he did on Dynamite a few years ago. Anytime Snoop appears on a wrestling show, I'm always thinking about WCW missed out on getting him to show up on Nitro in 1999 when they were doing the No Limit Soldiers angle.
  24. I'm not sure how to feel about a Riho heel turn though I thought it was possible after the 3rd time she made the save with the pipe but never used it on any of the heels. It reminds me of how Will Hobbs was always coming out to make the save against Team Taz before turning heel on Cody and Darby.
