kafkonia Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Maybe I'm just tired of wrestling fans who constantly whine that wrestling needs the return of ECW, the NWO, and the Attitude Era and then everything will be great. Personally I agree with this. But I don't mind folks talking about what happened during those eras, hell, lots of times I learn something I didn't previously know from the people here. It hasn't been bad on this particular board, but I've read others who are bad about wanting the good ole days back. For example I had no idea Lita was in ECW She was Miss Congeniality, a valet for Danny Doring. He proposed to her at a random PPV & used a condom instead of a ring on her finger. She wasn't around for long. She also bit her toenails off on camera during a backstage segment. Don't ask why I remember that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO RADIATION NEEDED!! Wooooooo!! Similar "miraculous recovery" to Ian Rotten's. How long until she starts selling copies of the pathology report and a pair of underwear she wore while ill for the low, low price of $99.99? How long ago was she diagnosed? This seems like a too quick turnaround, but I didn't pay much attention to the initial news, so maybe it's not as fast as it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 WCW's pay per view in December '94 was Starrcade that had Hogan/Butcher as the main event, Sting/Avalanche (ending in a DQ), Mr. T (!) vs. Kevin Sullivan, the 800th Nasty Boys vs. Harlem heat match, the dreadful Johnny B. Badd beating Arn and Vader vs. Jim Duggan. Badd/Anderson was pretty good, and Vader vs. Duggan was the last good match of Duggan's career, and was shockingly excellent. They just beat the living hell out of each other. But, yeah, the rest of that show was garbage with a side of garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember the build-up to those matches at all. I assume they're terrible. I love Vader like everyone else but Hacksaw in that era was the pits. I'm sure the match was good but who cares? I'd rather watch Mikey Whipwreck and Foley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 There were good matches sprinkled in those shows, but they were largely terrible. I remember liking the Flair/Macho stuff, Sting/Meng, Sting/Flair, Bubba/Duggan and the NJPW stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSmUgly Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I hate to sound stereotypical, but everything involving Hogan sucked. The rest of it was pretty entertaining. Flair/Savage was definitely great overall, but whoever said Johnny B. Badd was dreadful is wrong. That dude was pretty good, and Badd/DDP was a really fun feud with a bunch of good matches. As for DDP, one of the pleasures of watching WCW in the mid-'90s is watching DDP get better with each match and start getting himself over with the crowd organically. Once Nitro hit in September of '95, they started working Malenko, Rey, Eddie, etc. into the shows so that the undercard gets really fun in a hurry, too. Lots more good matches than bad. It's just that the bad was comically bad (Hogan vs. Dungeon of Doom being the prime example). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
