Wyld Samurai Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 7 hours ago, Phantom Lord said: Didn't Heenan or someone say that he was a tad bit drunk by that point in the show and that's why he blurted out "who's side is he on". It wasn't so much that was an accident with typical WCW, but Heenan was kinda sloshed. 20 years. I think I was getting ready to waste a summer in summer school for a math class I wasn't gonna pass so this was at least a fun way to start it. Maybe a better way to go about it would have been for one of the WCW guys to be knocked out backstage pre-match forcing a 2 on 2 (Luger would have been ideal because nobody ever trusted him)... and then you can have Hogan walk out later with the notion he's the replacement and to tip the scales in WCW's favor.

Zakk_Sabbath Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Talking about Bash at the Beach and the NWO turning 20 started making me think about that time period a little (I've also been re-watching 1997 Nitro). One thing I hear a lot is that the NWO got real stupid and watered down once it was bloated with a ton of people, but for some reason I always thought it was just a really, really cool visual to have 5 limos pull up with 30 guys getting out, having them all walk down that long ass WCW aisle. I think it also helped Sting look like a major badass taking out that many guys at once-- in retrospect, some of those segments look like they're out of a Batman movie. And I think that's a good comparison to make: every major villain has to have their henchmen right? If the Joker can have nameless, faceless guys in ski masks, what's wrong with Hogan, Savage, and the Outsiders having Vincent, Bagwell, Crush etc? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoBaltimore Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Regarding Kofi doing Austin's promo, I got a huge kick out of Xavier playing Jake. The only time he didn't play Jake was to replace the F in WWF to E. Funny, funny video. And that DDT video is hilarious. They're that company that I should check out more and I have no earthly idea why I don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurningBeard Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 yeah, I'm the same. Back around 2005ish when they had the blow-up doll and all that stuff I loved DDT but outside of clips on here I never went out of my way to watch it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLaw Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Remember when the WWE Network first started, they would air random little clips of stuff to fill time between shows? They should start that again, but all of the clips should be reenacted by New Day. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish WCW would've let Heenan have a paid vacation for the summer and just have Hogan send his nWo goons to rough up Bobby for all the shit he talked for the past twenty years (I know Heenan couldn't take a bump but you can shoot it in ways that hide the fact he never actually bumps) I always thought it was odd Hollywood Hogan was so insecure about what the WCW guys were saying about him and how it had to always be about him but was seemingly okay with the announcers trashing him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 That reddit schedule may have been right after all. Night of Champions is now listed on wwe.com as Clash of Champions http://www.wwe.com/wwe-night-champions Weird that they haven't changed the logo yet.

Spritenaut 32 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Not sure where to put this.... I'm trying to find a "tape trader" I used to deal with. His website was called "Wrestling Power" or something like that and the web address was Comcast.something something. Nothing came up on Google and I don't remember his real name or much else about him. Bought indy dvds from him a few times. He tended to have a lot of old indy/territory footage from the mid-atlantic/south - ie, some OMEGA shows, Smoky Mountain, NWA Fusion out of Virginia, etc. I bought mostly fancam footage from him. I want to say he taped a lot of those shows himself. I vaguely recall thinking he taped at least some of the Smoky Mountain footage i got from him personally. I also think he taped a lot of the VA fancam footage himself. I'd like to find him again. He had some good footage of regional wrestlers like Sean Denny and Mark Bravura who don't work for the larger indys that release DVDS regularly. Literally the only other things i remember about him is that he had some sort of podcast/webshow/public access TV show called "Wrestling Power" and I think he used to post on the DVDVR once in a while. If this sounds familiar to anyone and someone knows how to track him down, let me know. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 How long until WWE tries to sign Sajad Gharibi? Seriously, google the guy.
