Glacier was actually starting to get over, and so were their matches. is this the HOT TAKES~! thread? because as much as i like Kanyon (i'm literally wearing my Mortis Kombat shirt right now) and appreciate Wrath and Vandenburg, that angle sucked ass.

LoneWolf&Subs Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) What angle!?!? They barely had a story. They just had these great karate man matches on TV. You are drunk! You just blew a uce on your breathalyzer test. Edited July 16, 2021 by LoneWolf&Subs 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zendragon Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I think you have to remember just how Popular those Mortal Kombat video games where at the time... I don't think the angle got killed as much as ran into the NWO 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf&Subs Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Oh come on, they could’ve continued keeping it separate. It’s not like the nWo was absolutely everywhere. I think somebody just lost interest more than anything. Fucking chicken shits. I bet you Terry Taylor was involved with killing it somehow.

Ernest Miller was fucking horrible at the time, and Glacier was too green to hold up his end of the whole deal. it's not the travesty it's made out to be, but it was nowhere near good.

RIPPA Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I am putting this in a spoiler box just because, theoretically, it could end up on TV tonight but working a dark match tonight before SDL was Spoiler Harry Smith (Davey Boy Smith Jr) Not really surprising and I am a little surprised it took this far into the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneWolf&Subs Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Oh my lord I just thought of something. What if the Blood Runs Cold angle ran long enough for them to bring in a Johnny Cage clone played by Sweet Stan Lane? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blood Runs Cold was put on the back burner because the nWo literally changed pro-wrestling. BRC was gimmicky and cartoonish. Great if you're still running WCWSN... But not on Nitro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kang Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) The SlapJack gimmick is dropped, back to being Shane Thorne. Anyway another live event show cancelled Edited July 17, 2021 by D.Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had someone mention that the Atlanta area **MAY** moving toward some version of a lockdown. Considering that the show was two months away, poor ticket sales doesn't seem likely.

The Great ML Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Maybe arrogantly telling off / killing off their fanbase has caught up with them? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kang Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Money in the Bank is around 98% sold, about 9,700. Raw in Dallas 7,000+ out, 85% sold. They have to becareful of what places they book for live events (house shows), however I think they could someday decide to further reduce them or fully scrap them.

Be honest… Would the fans have wanted another Hogan promo, or a BRC match? I think you know, brother. I maybe misremembering things, but Saturn got into a feud with Glacier over the super kick, and he semi shoots on Glacier in promos. Now that part we do know about, but I remember Glacier kind of being more over here even though the whole feud was designed to bury the cold one further, and get Saturn more over with the fans as a cool bad ass.

Lawful Metal Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Glacier / Cat v. Wrath / Mortis was one of my MOTY in 1997. I was convinced that Mortis was a future world champion, especially with his advanced puppetry skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Somebody needs to post some of those karate man matches because I want to point and laugh. Thinking about it, WALTER is probably impervious enough to only hurt himself. Like, I imagine he stubbed his toe on an end table only for his knee to immediately blow out.

Curt McGirt Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) Hey! This looks pretty Clubberin'. EDIT: Hoo that was a hot opener! Dudes were working hard, kept it in a good length, really liked this. I remember hating Glacier and digging Mortis as a kid, totally neutral on Wrath. The Cat was of course much hated but in retrospect hilarious. "I'm the greatest! You people make me sick."

For Great Justice Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 We all loved Earnest Miller, right? Dude was awesome. I got some “not sure if serious” vibes over the past page on this topic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoFistsJustFlips Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I always dug Wrath and especially Mortis. Glacier always came off as lame to me. But I think it was his face / early 90s Sting hair. I did not like Glacier or Ernest Miller in ring in WCW. They just screamed karate guys to me. Karate didn't impress me. Being able to take a karate technique and make it flow into a wrestling spot was what popped me. Like 123 Kid's doing his backflip counter to a hiptoss then pulling a spinwheel kick out of nowhere. But the lame karate fighting stance, kick, block, kick stuff was pretty dull compared to the cruiserweights and the hosses throwing bombs at each other on the rest of the card.
