That move's had longevity with people using it or variants. Edited September 19, 2019 by The Natural 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I also like the masks worn by Keiji Mutoh since he saved the hair and no longer wears facepaint. I believe this was his first mask: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to go back and watch it all unfold again.

I know that Saturday Night was the main outlet for all of this before Nitro, but I seem to remember some fun stuff on Pro and Worldwide as well.

I've been doing a deep dive on MonsoonClassic's channel on YouTube and there's a lot of WCW C-Show gold in there, ranging from 89 all the way up to the end. It's not in a particular order, but it's still a lot of fun. Seeing the team of Frankie Lancaster and Mark Starr getting their own jobber match is a trip. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was only about 16 years in at the time. I lost a bet on which SoCal wrestler would be the first to start using the Shining Wizard at the time. I picked B-Boy, but it ended up being Excalibur instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was vaguely aware of the channel, but I have never looked at it carefully. Dude is super-organized with his clips into playlists. I look forward to my own deep dive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
