PetrolCB Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Sweet. I know there’s a lot of shit on them, but also some good stuff I’ve completely forgotten about. Anyone have any suggestions? I also looked up the results to the only WCW show I ever went to, the June 18th, 1998 Thunder. I’ve never actually watched it back. I had forgotten that Benoit/Eddie happened, as well as that IWGP tag title match, with Davey/Anvil beating Chono/Tenzan by DQ. Which, correctly if I’m wrong, wasn’t New Japan pissed because the titles can change hands via DQ and WCW didn’t know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone responded to Lance Storm that for whatever reason - every time the WWE releases a big block of footage like this, there are always episodes missing. Most likely they found something that they want to go back and edit (or just not air) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Watching the first Thunder and WCW's Roster was so absurd in 98 they had Louie Spicolli vs Rick Martel. And Jericho vs Flair randomly in the middle of the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 There were a few times where they would throw Jericho and Flair together for no particular reason without a program and they had fun matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elizium Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 All Star Wrestling's front row fan versions of Green Shirt Guy and Long Hair Guy are an old farmer in suspenders and what looks like a MAGA hat and a really large dude who looks like Haystacks Calhoun going through a greaser phase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they went to their first commercial on a JJ Dillon cliffhanger after the Savage-Chris Adams finish with the Luger to come back from commercial and have Hogan and Bischoff cut a "the nWo is fine" promo before cutting to another commercial then coming back to JJ finally reversing the decision of Savage-Adams in Savages favor cuz of Lugers involvement and a Luger promo.

odessasteps Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 The idea of a Randy Savage vs Chris Adams match is so weird, let alone one in 1998. good old WCW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paintedbynumbers Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 so April they are adding "WCW Saturday Night" The wcw saturday show was not called "WCW Saturday Night" until April of 92. I am wondering if 90 and 91 are skipped and we head right to 92 or what. Crazy note: First WCW saturday night match was Pillman vs Armstrong for the light heavyweight belt. The match had a good amount of time for 1992 tv. The main was Austin vs Zenk 2 out of 3 falls for the tv belt. One year later Pillman and Austin would form one of the best tag teams ever.

Is their Thunder match the one where Flair asks the ref to check the elapsed time with the timekeeper, then immediately kicks Jericho in the groin?

I can't remember. That might have been the earlier one that was part of the string of losses that turned Jericho heel when he was throwing tantrums after every match.
