Brian Fowler Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 The New Brood. And, of course, The Teri Invitational Tournament. Fucking 1999. Even the good stuff has that stupidity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneWolf&Subs Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) You know I got curious, and decided to watch the 4th to last episode of Nitro. I had no idea they edited out Kid Romeo’s, and Primetime’s themes. So disappointed by this. Edited June 7, 2019 by LoneWolf&Subs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swift Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I watched the WCW untold show and they showed a newspaper article from 2001 detailing Bischoff's deal falling apart and it mentioned World Wrestling Entertainment a couple of times. It confused me for a few seconds until I realised they overlaid World Wrestling Entertainment on top of World Wrestling Federation but in a smaller font size so they could fit it in. That seemed like an unnecessary change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorman Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Thoughts on Survivor Series 99 Godfather, D-Lo and the Headbangers all dressed as pimps. After their win, referee Tim White danced with the hos for the second straight PPV. Kurt Angle's debut win over Shawn Stasiak was not a squash. Stasiak actually looked great with some impressive offense. Angle was curiously touted as "the most celebrated real athlete in WWF history." Poor Davey Boy Smith looked on with disdain as the Mean Street Posse was wiped out by Mark Henry, Gangrel and Steve Blackman. He mounted a babyface-like comeback, but he couldn't outlast Henry and Val Venis. Fabulous Moolah pinned Ivory for the second straight PPV to win the one-fall women's match. Of course, Moolah wrestled at the first Survivor Series in 1987. Chris Jericho worked incredibly hard to drag a great match out of Chyna and give her credibility as Intercontinental champion. Jericho ended up winning the IC title more than anyone else (10 times). Since the last PPV, the tag team titles bounced from Mankind & The Rock to the Hollys to Mankind & Al Snow to The New Age Outlaws. Here, the Outlaws retained the belts over Mankind & Snow. The Monday Night War with WCW is probably why the title change happened on TV instead of PPV. Big Show is the MVP for beating up his own teammates on Sunday Night Heat, wiping out Bossman's teammates and sending him running, and then beating Triple H and The Rock to win the WWF title. He bounced from heel to face to heel to face in his first nine months in the company. Someone realized that booking Big Show as an unstoppable giant was a good idea.

I remember watching this ppv at our campus bar in Miami and everyone was convinced Test was going to be inserted into the main event and win the title. We were all surprised when it was Big Show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Aside from the NXT's I think it's safe to say WWE Untold is the best WWE Programming running right now. It's so simple but compelling it's awesome. They should do a Hogan-Russo Bash at the Beach one. They can get Bischoff, Hogan, Jarrett and Booker. Was Charles Robinson the Ref?

cwoy2j Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Holy shit. Also didn't know that Koko B. Ware was in this tournament. Heck, I didn't even know he ever appeared in JCP. This would've had to have been right before he jumped to WWF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1986 version of the Crockett Cup was the best because it included many different territories like Memphis, Mid South, and Florida. I mean it had Tiger Mask and Baba who probably never worked Crockett before and after that. I doubt Koko and Fabs worked other Crockett shows.

In a 24 team one night single elimination tournament, you would not expect a Buzz Sawyer & 1986 Rick Steiner vs. Koko B. Ware & Italian Stalion first round match to go more than 15 minutes. Heck, you would not even expect it to go more than 6 minutes. The whole show must have taken close to 6 hours. This version still lacks the first 5 matches and cuts from one match finish directly to the introduction of the next match and this is still more than 4 hours.

odessasteps Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 It was theoretically not a one day tournament, since they has an afternoon session and evening session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf&Subs Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) I just saw a jobber wearing a Super Astro mask in Mid-Atlantic. Not some cheap knockoff, this looked legit. So shameless by this jobber in wearing this mask. Edited June 22, 2019 by LoneWolf&Subs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, like odessasteps said, there was a 2pm afternoon show that consisted of the first round matches and two second round matches, and then I believe a 7pm evening show. On the Network stream the switch from afternoon to evening is when Jim Ross and Tony Schiavone do the introductions/anthem and everything switches to a multi-cam edit instead of single ringside camera.

odessasteps Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 After that, it became a 2 day show (given how the day/night thing bombed attendance wise). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
