I listened to the MLW podcast this week and was literally disgusted at how Disco and Ferrera spoke about their time in WCW. First, I found it striking how all the guests praised Breaking Bad as one of the greatest shows in television history. What they failed to mention was that show had 5-year build with consequences to the characters. Walt with his losses - his wife and friendship with Hank - had consequences which altered the course of the characters. When Disco talks about win/loss records in a mocking fashion, he forgets that win/loss do matter because they can help with character development (ie: Austin at Wrestlemania 13). Second part to that argument is Disco's inability to sit through a two-segment match. If he is having difficulty doing that, I am wondering how he got through Breaking Bad?
It almost seemed that they were ashamed to be apart of pro wrestling. Could you imagine if these guys wrote an actual television show. But in fairness, Disco mentioned statistical data that he had to prove that segments consistency outdrew long-television matches. MSL, next time you have Disco on, I would love for him to present some of these findings.
As someone who has decided to watch some old WCW 2000's stuff recently, it evident that the booking committee had passion and heart was in the right place, I would rather watch Kevin Sullivan push the Dog then watch wrestlers pretend to act.
