    If we're doing hopeless things, Scott Steiner actually turns heel and we get a 1992 version of Big Poppa Pump who's not broken down going against Legit Athlete Ron Simmons. Sign me the fuck up for the match where they have a giant hoss fight and beat the crap out of each other and toss each other around with reckless abandon.

    You were today years old when you found out Rick Steiner invented the Ace Crusher/Stone Cold Stunner Go to 35 seconds in

    I think they could've drawn money by giving Rude some of those lower card heels as flunkies that he sends at Simmons to try to weaken him. He's the mob boss that Simmons has to take out but has to fight through his goons first. I just don't think it's a good idea to sacrifice the only top heel you have that quickly especially when they didn't seem to have any plans to build up anyone else.

    And I'm going to save every WCW title reign in 2000, all 862 of them, by going back in time and convincing Vince McMahon to give Vince Russo a little extra money and time off so that Russo never goes to WCW. The WCW title changed hands or was vacated something like 25 times in 2000.

    And while we're saving failed WCW title reigns, I'm using my time machine to go back and book Stan Hansen as Sting's first opponent in 1990 instead of that Black Scorpion nonsense and the fake Sting crap with Sid at Halloween Havoc. I'd pull Hansen out of the feud with Luger and have him target Sting. I feel like after Flair, Sting needed an opponent to legitimize his "toughness" and main event cred ala what Foley did for HHH at Royal Rumble 2000. Having Sting survive an absolute war with Stan f'n Hansen would've cemented him as The Man.

    Therein lies the rub. I looked up WCW's 1992 roster and man, it was thin on top heel material. I guess Windham could've turned but he had been futzing around in the tag ranks. Scott Steiner would've been interesting had they convinced him to turn at that point but that's pie in the sky stuff. Muta was doing shots in WCW around that time so he was a possibility for a short-term opponent. That's actually who I'd have gone with as long as there weren't any political concerns with him jobbing. He and Simmons might have a clash of styles in the ring but at least it would've been an interesting program as Muta was a big name and had credibility with the fans. Certainly would've been better than Barbarian. https://www.thesmackdownhotel.com/roster/?promotion=wcw&date=1992

    I wouldn't have fed Rude to Simmons right off the bat. I think Rude should've been the big bad for Simmons to slay after a decently long program. I think putting Simmons against Steamboat would be tough on Ron because damn near anyone who goes against Steamboat is going to get booed. You could save a busload of kittens, orphans and old people from going off a cliff but the minute you start beating on Ricky Steamboat, people are going to boo you. Simmons might come across as a bully heel in that situation and he definitely doesn't have the nuance to walk that line I was talking about.

    Random but I was going down a wikipedia hole of Game of Thrones characters and actors and found out that Charles Dance's father was born in 1874! Apparently his dad was in his 70s when Charles was born and died when he (Charles) was 3. Charles thought his dad was in his 50s when he was born and didn't learn that his dad was much older until he grew up. Dance actually had a sister who was born in the 1800s as well and she died in 1993. I just thought that was pretty wild. This guy is still alive and while old, it's not like he's ancient or over 100, and had a sibling who was born in the 1898 and it's not like she died a super long time ago either.

    What would the Meat/PMS thing be classified as? He was basically their sub.
  11. cwoy2j
    I think this is why heel vs. heel works better than face vs. face. You're not asking for the audience to pick a side so both guys/teams can basically still do their normal stuff. When it's face vs. face and you're not trying to turn one guy heel, you have to be careful to have one guy not to act too heelish. That's a fine line to walk whereas when it's heel vs. heel, both parties can kinda just cut loose and do their thing and let the crowd decide the cheering dynamic. Bret is probably the best at walking the face vs. face line because, well, he's Bret Hart.

    Bischoff said that Hogan was convinced Vince would actually show up. He also said that Big Show offered to jump in if anything got out of hand but Bischoff was confident that if Vince actually showed, they would probably just end up working and if not, that he could use his martial arts background to keep from getting killed despite the size disadvantage and the bum knee he was dealing with at the time.

    IIRC, Raven was dealing with some major stomach/pancreas issues at the time and WCW knew there was no way he was gonna wrestle. Didn't stop them from advertising the match all the way up through bell time though.
  14. cwoy2j
    The best part of that deal was Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins (RIP) being legit startled and jumping up and going "holy shit" when Raven first smacked DDP with the stop sign and you can hear them going, "oh Jesus!" when Raven ddt'ed him through a table.

    He's really funny in an off the wall way. He barely ever talks about wrestling though. It's mostly just him and his cohosts bantering back and forth about random stuff. Worth a listen if you want some laughs but there's very little wrestling related content.

    “His name is Bruce, right? What a stupid name. You have nine months, and you come up with ‘Bruce’?”
  17. cwoy2j
    Dean wrestled according to Wiki. Also, IIRC from Bret's autobiography, Dean did the Amarillo loop for the Funks along with Bruce and Bret tagged along with them when Bret was a teenager.

    On his podcast, Raven said he just had his knee replaced. Said the other one sucks too as they were both down to having little to no meniscus but that one isn't as bad. Said he won't get that one replaced unless he absolutely has to as he's had a shoulder replaced and every time the pain is really intense. He joked that they didn't even give him old man tennis balls for the walker he had to use.

    And had Lawler making a tasteless joke in 1997 about everyone in Atlanta having a chance to be her father.

    Meltzer said it was the set.

    it's not so much that it means you're going to win or lose and actually nowadays, if you get an over the top entrance with a star doing your theme, it's more likely you're gonna lose. It's more that he got this giant entrance and looked like a huge star when Batista got a basic entrance and ended up selling for the majority of the match when he was the up and coming guy (they're the same age chronologically but tv age wise, Batista was the new guy) who should've looked like a million dollars.

    The smallfolk won't care what's going on with the great houses as long as their bellies are fed and that's questionable as to whether or not that's going to happen. But the nobles absolutely won't be happy with what's going on with what happened at the end of the series. If The North can be independent, why can't the other kingdoms do the same? They don't need anything from King's Landing and it's not like the Crown has a giant army or a dragon there to enforce its will.

    And all of the Dothraki are just gonna get on ships and go home when they could just stay in Westeros with easy pickings abound?

    Except there's a financially illiterate upjumped sell sword as Master of Coin and ruling the region of the continent that is a huge supplier of food, money and men for the Royal Army. Let's not forget that Bron didn't even know how a loan worked before Tyrion told him. And the other houses of The Reach are just gonna accept him taking over that region? And Mr. "I can't be lord of anything" is now the king. And Sam who's essentially a rando deserter from The Night's Watch is now Grand Maester. And Yara who still holds a grudge over Jon killing Dany is presiding over the Iron Islands and they're not exactly known for being super loyal to The Crown. And who is the new Dorne guy? All we know about him is that he's just handsome swarthy looking guy.
