Raziel Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 We counting TNA, then yeah, although I will conciede that when he got back on the gas toward the end of WCW, he was far inferior to the brunt of his work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuerrillaMonsoon Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Body suit debuted somewhere around Tuesday In Texas.... So between numerous Flair matches in both promotions, the Crush match at Mania 10 (underrated I feel anyway), and the DDP series, the Bret PPV match and maybe the occasional odd pairing on Nitro........

NikoBaltimore Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 The Sheamus and Lynch shirts should sell quite well. The Sheamus one in particular works in a non-wrestling way, and I'm going to see if my Irish friend wants in on that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - I am pretty sure the back will have a ridiculous wrestling phrase so you might wanna slow your roll on that 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely get what you mean though, if it was warmer weather I wouldn't be as inclined to consider it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt788 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 She looks great in her merch shirt. The shirt conveys the message that she is not a show off. She is a serious wrestler. It's a good contrast to Nikki and Bliss. Becky having good matches in a T shirt gives an impression of empowerment with a Rhona Rousey vibe. We've come a long way from Maxine wrestling in bedroom attire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That actually did happen as the WWE immediately put out an nWo Wolfpac shirt as a response. Not the cool one with the Steve Stanley wolf art, just the red logo variant. Also related, something from eBay: When I started bidding on this, it was at $5.99. After putting it on Twitter, it spread like wildfire and is now hovering at $154. One hour left!!

Matt788 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 All they did was take an existing wolf plush and add an NWO shirt to it. That's lazy. The WCW hot wheels type cars were awesome tho, with wrestlers like Dean Malenko and La Parka getting a cool little car with their faces painted on the hoods.

Definitely at Bash At The Beach that year. I can't think of anytime Savage was not entertaining. He made the most of his TV time when Nash was booking and was not afraid to be hated.

Victator Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 He was a heel and the same type of heel he always was. It was visceral and grabbed you by the throat. If he had a good face to play off, it would have worked. 1999 WCW had a lot of problems, but Savage was not one of them. Actually I think 1999 WCW had three problems. 1. Whoever was hiring management at Turner. 2. Bischoff 3. Kevin Nash. But those were big problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramo2653 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I remember a few Nitros from that time where he had black boots. I remember it looking cooler to me at the time. I always thought the white boots were kinda dorky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
