  1. Nash smh…he’s obviously lying but I’ll bite one more time like always because fuck him and because Stefanie touched on WCW’s history of similar crap finishes. WCW’s crap finishes weren’t always best but they weren’t always fatal as long as the fans wanted to come back next week to see the bad guy finally get beat. The fans wanted to see Ric Flair lose and they would watch or pay every week just to see it. Then if it didn’t happen it would be in spite of an obvious reason that he was going to lose next time.

    Nash and Hogan people just wanted to go away. They didn’t want to see them, they didn’t want to hear them talk and they didn’t care about them anymore. When they wouldn’t leave the fans finally just left instead. 

    Also just curious now after Craig’s point. Did they interview anybody who wasn’t considered a big reason WCW failed? I know somebody said Tony and Bret talked a little but that’s hilarious if the documentary is about who killed WCW by a bunch of interviews of the people who killed WCW saying they didn’t kill WCW. WCW. 

     

     

  2. This show has jumped the shark with this guys. It’s a multiepisode documentary about the 1 thing everybody wants to hear the truth about. Even the people who are sick of hearing about wHaT kIlLeD wCw would watch this show if everybody came clean, or if somebody atleast called everybody out who wouldn’t come clean. Instead we’re getting the same old crap and it’s being sold as some kind of Holy Grail documentary. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz this is more boring than Goldberg vs Lenny Lane. 

    Wrestlecrap also jumped the shark IMO. They were just trying to make update after update. I don’t think they hated everything.

  3. Disco was good. I even liked him psychologically at his worst because he was a rare midcard heel who actually got heat and lost matches on TV. He improved over time as a worker and his status improved as talked about already. His slow anger build the more he lost matches upon his return, then finally getting mad enough to drop Saturn that 1 night was very well done and he was over until the Jaqueline neutered him. 

    I never found spoof wrestling skits offensive. I know some of them got heavy, but that was some of the beauty in them. You could do that in rasslin. Besides when you hear the offended people talk about them, it’s obvious that they’re really just mad about a whole other can of worms. 

  4. It’s a shame because for that just over a year period of time that the luchas did have storylines, it was 2 straight hours of fun every Monday. Mike Tenay as the lucha guy, the cruiserweight title being treated like the Holy Grail, the lucha rules matches that were treated like such a big deal, etc. La Parka the Chairman of WCW was the best fun type of midcarder for a hot minute. 

    WCW’s accounting junk has been discussed many times. All big companies do it yes. Heck I kinda do it lol! I don’t care what some accounting book says. Seats went empty in the arenas, ratings went down and buyrates went down. And that’s just the basics. They had all those guaranteed contracts and more and more guys just up and taking time off and just all kinds of nightmares. None of that is the real question though like we’ve said. 

  5. They need to do an episode, or somebody needs to do an episode, about what killed WCW the product and there has to be a rule that you can’t talk about the merger. Everybody either cops out to the merger with or without a little Ted Turner standards and practices damage control first for 1 reason or another. Certain wrestlers and hands on in charge people obviously don’t want to say anything about how they were a reason and dumbass fans always try to sound smart and use the word merger because it’s a big word to them. We all know about the merger. That’s not what anybody is asking when they ask what killed WCW. If it were then that’s the answer and nobody would still be talking about it.

    When people ask who killed WCW they’re asking who or what fucked it up from what it had became in 1995 on through 1997. They’re asking why it started to suck and who was responsible for it. The only reason to even bring up Ted Turner would be to explain that it only survived for as long as it did after its peak because he crapped money and liked it. The same can be said for all the time before WCW’s peak.

  6. I wasn’t aware that Missy had hardened up but I could see it. I’m not totally aware of everything that went on with her either so I just won’t touch it. I was just aware of the normal stuff that’s been repeated, and usually verified by her. Debra is one I have a hard time not judging if you really want to know. 

    I’m about to read through the WCW stuff. I wish I could see this. I showed my natural born ass on every FB post about it. You would be proud, or ashamed, or something. They made more FB posts about this than anything they ever have.

  7. I didn’t see Mr America or Koko but there was definitely something great about those kinds of mask gimmicks. I know not too many people liked Brian Pillman as The Yellow Dog but it was amazing to me at the time, and all the other young fans. I can only imagine how great the others were years earlier.

  8. Eric Bischoff is mostly telling the truth about most things concerning his instructions from Turner and Turner execs and many others things. I say mostly because he’s leaving out the parts about how he ignored what he was being told by them whenever he knew Hogan wouldn’t like it. Then if there was ever any question he would run it by Hogan first. Hogan wasn’t Eric’s boss, but he was his master. He can spin it however else he wants but that’s how it went. The reason it’s still talked about so much is because the truth has never flat out been said even though we all know it. And that’s why it all went to hell. Nobody ever turned off a WCW show because they didn’t cuss enough and they weren’t ever going to because if they were they would have done it a long time ago when bloody vein popping Ric Flair yell out GOSH DANG IT TO HECK AND BACK!!!!!!!!!! Or that time Sting got mad and called the chick in the box a BROAD!!!!!!!!!!!

    What a surprise to see Luger and Brody come up here. Saying Luger was wise and classy at that point might be a stretch, but if nothing else he was like yeah eff this. He looked at Brody like I’d look at a crazy person in the park at night and walked away from him like I would. Brody was good in the ring from what I’ve seen and a unique, special kind of those old mysterious wrestlers. Unfortunately some aggravation always came with that territory. Him, Abdullah, Billy Jack, etc.

  9. I actually want my glove for shooting darts from a slingshot. I have a reason for wanting to start shooting darts from a slingshot at the age of 42 and it’s a long story but in the meantime while looking for information I’ve seen where people have shot through their own hand! They make guards to prevent that but the best one I could find had a dart still go through it in a test video. 

    What are these “wraps”? I’ll look them up and see if I can see.

  10. I saw that picture on FB also wow. I think Rogaine was also in the water because they had superior fuzz.

    Also gotta love Bret Hart. I know he’s been a trip but he stuck Eric Bischoff hard and deep with that mini rant that took the same amount of effort as it does for him to scratch his nose. Meanwhile Eric fired back with maximum intensity and all he had was that.

    The interesting part as always is to find out if Diggs skills are declined or if he was just checked out. From November onward he only had two TDs and never had over 90 yards in a single game. That covers 11 games, including playoffs. He wasn't getting the separation he used to and things were just "off." I have no ill will towards him, I hope he plays well in Houston, I just don't know if he had a drop off in skill which can happen or was letting his emotions impact his play.

    Also, during their losing streak they were forcing him the ball. All those plays where he wasn’t getting the ball were because he was never open. They started winning again when they started running the ball and running playaction. I think the Bills are in trouble but not because they got rid of Diggs.
