Spritenaut 32 Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 The ref's reaction sums it up pretty well.
Ryan Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 I'm thinking they were supposed to land on the apron.

God Bless UW (RIP) for selling that near miss fist like he'd been shot in the face with a cannon. We're also going to ignore the real life physics result where Rude breaks his hand when floating bones strike the solid bone of UW's skull from that height. 1
Michael Sweetser Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 We're also talking about the Warrior's skull, which was thicker than most. 1

BurningBeard Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 As great and shocking and out of the blue and magic as that moment was, it didn't really work did it?
Infinit Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Did ppv numbers and ratings drop at all for the 6 months Simmons was champion?

I couldn't find any specifics on WCW Saturday Night ratings, but according to this site, PPV buyrates hung around the same area, although Havoc '92 did draw their best buyrate of the year - but that was probably due to the Jake-Sting feud more than Simmons. I recall that house shows went down, though, and WCW was far more concerned about house shows in the Watts days - they would spend entire episodes of WCWSN hyping an upcoming house show at the Omni in Atlanta while completely ignoring the upcoming Clash or PPV. Watts always seemed to book the promotion like it was a regional in Atlanta rather than an actual national competitor to WWE. It came across really bush league, especially when the WWF is constantly touting themselves as The Worldwide Leader In Sports Entertainment. That said, the entire night of Simmons winning the title was fantastic and a definite moment. The angle leading up to it with Jake attacking Sting was fantastic as well. 1

I think he went to kneedrops off the top after that. Fairly certain the recipient (Jim Powers?), was the first to suggest "never do that again." Ouch. 1
Technico Support Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 I really regret being a 17 year old dirtbag too hung over to go see the Simmons win. A friend called me asking if I wanted to go see the show at the Baltimore Arena but I'd gotten a little too friendly with the cheap vodka the night before.

That seemed like an awesome crowd to be part of if you did go. I see Ron's win and always think about the one kid jumping like crazy flipping out. Good times. 1

Foley echoed that in his book. He said that Watts' vision was to turn the Omni into the MSG of the South. Foley said that WCW basically didn't promote his ppv match with Sting and opted to focus on an upcoming card at The Omni instead. 1

Michael Sweetser Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Wasn't that Earl that he threw? Earl and Dave got in a shoving match after the match, Earl slugged Dave, Hogan presses Earl over everyone.
