When Nitro came here, my brother and cousin bought nose-bleed seats, then some random WCW guy approached them and gave them seats directly behind the announcers (They almost got ran over by the Harris Bros on a run-in from the crowd!), while they were waiting for the show to start, though, some guy came up to them and said "I heard ICP is going to be here! If you chant their name all night, when they come out, they'll give you candy and other prizes!" and proceeded to chant "ICP! ICP!" all night. For the record, ICP were NOT on that show. These fucking guys are Beavis & Butthead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I certainly agree with you, I'll just leave this here. I'm pretty sure Scotty got suspended for two weeks though. With pay, of course. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakk_Sabbath Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Late era Nitro was better than anyone realizes. Either that, or Raw has been such a chore lately that somehow I've found nostalgia in nonsense worked shoot promos, Commissioner Cat, and the Natural Born Thrillers 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure they're clapping in that clip because they were getting paid an obscene amount of money, this was WCW after all, to keep their clothes on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I knew that Scotty said "WCW sucks" on air before but not that he called Flair a butt-fucker. On live TV. ...somehow that makes me like Scotty even more? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Guy Named Tracy Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 What's Jeff Cobb's ceiling? Would the WWE be interested once he is free from his Lucha Underground contract? I don't know if he'd be a fit for the main roster, but he's perfect for NXT. He would also be great in NJPW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I think he's going to suffer from Tallest Midget syndrome. He looks huge in LU, but he's 6"+ shorter than Randy Orton, Dean Ambrose, and a bunch of other guys on the WWE main roster. Unless he's an other worldly good worker like AJ/KO/Sami, he's a mid-card champ at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 WWE took a pass on him a while ago, but that was before he blew up on the scene. I'd say if he goes anywhere outside of the US Indy scene, it'd be NJPW before he went back anywhere near WWE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just remember Bryan being out for a while with concerns for his neck and brain and then coming back to do this in a throw away match on a random Smackdown - I would rather be The Miz than Daniel Bryan. There I said it. We are all thinking it anyway. Miz > Bryan Uh no. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Lord Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 If the WWE could buy the Matanza gimmick and have him vs. BRAUN, there's your WM 35 main event. Lock those two inside a HIAC and let em just beat the shit out of each other. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CM Punk and Cena had that vibe to it. I think WWE screwed the pooch not turning that into a true rivalry. It would have been the company's best since Rock-Austin. Speaking of... You could make an interesting case for Rock-Austin. Rock came from a family entrenched in the business, won a national championship at The U so had some serious sports credentials, debuted in WWF (more or less; not really counting the cup of coffee Flex Kavana had in Memphis). He was pushed to the moon immediately and always mapped out for greatness. Austin, in contrast, was a college football player...on some very bad Division I-AA teams. He started in the territories, driving from Texas to Tennessee and working for peanuts. He gets his break in WCW, only to get shit-canned and have to essentially go back to the indies in ECW. I'm now imaging an alternate universe in which Miz-Bryan are a main-event feud and the build to Mania 33 emulates X-Seven. I'm now very sad.

It's Hogan and Ultimate Warrior. One represents the USA and has red, white, and blue running through his veins, the other is from Parts Unknown and has the energy created by the churning celestial gyre at the center of our universe coursing through his body. One puts you on his back when the waves crash in and he backstrokes you to safety, the other takes your lifeless body to the dark depths of space and time. Skullet vs Full Head of Hair. Dianabol vs Deca durbolin. Leg Drop vs Splash. So yeah. Totally Hogan and Warrior. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Cobb is my favorite non-Mysterio worker in LU, but dude looks like a broke-dick Abyss as Matanza, so whenever he's done with LU, I hope he throws that whole gimmick to the bushes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watching people "in charge" going "Wait, is he feuding with Flair?", "Did he just say people changed the channel to WWF?", "Did he just call him a butt-fucker?", "Did he just do it again?", "Did he just say WCW sucks?" I love that because of the Monday Night Wars, they couldn't fire him over this. Vince would have. He would never have stood for a guy going way off-script like this. In Chris Jericho's first book, he talks about how Chavo had been getting over with his stick-horse Pepe, and they told Jericho to beat Chavo clean, then break Pepe in half afterwards. There was no build-up, no pay-off, just do it because. So he and Chavo went out and bought a second horse, and after Jericho brought Pepe, Chavo brought out an aluminum bat with a horse on it and clobbered Jericho with it. No one ever said anything to them about it. He said, himself, Vince never would have allowed that to happen without repercussions but no one in WCW was even paying attention or cared at the time. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Wrestling needs another promotion in full-on fuck it mode for promos like these. TNA has always been close, but isn't quite there when it comes to management not knowing or just not caring. Anthem should give Impact a third hour and just have it be Scott Steiner ranting and raving about whatever crosses his mind. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
