Goodhelmet, you were the one who posted Will Parrish's history of Mid South here a few months ago, right? Did you ever find the rest of that? It was very interesting reading and I would really like to know more about the subject, particularly the transformation into the UWF and the downfall of the company.

I checked 1wrestling, I didn't see the story.

I read that Meltzer said in the latest Observer that Hayes pretty much scripted his entire promo himself.

That makes no sense because Flair was also a heel at the time. Steiner is full of crap. No matter what his motives were, it was obvious he was going into business for himself since WCW suspended him for about six weeks after that interview.

Rudo, I think you're one of the most knowledgeable posters about wrestling that I've seen on any board. But two things: Shelton Rosey

If he's leaving, he absolutely should do the job at the PPV. It makes no sense to make him look good if he's not going to be there anymore.

Loss, do you know what WCW's new name would have been? And they were going to change all the PPV names? Including Starrcade?

I don't think the cruiserweight tag division was a very good idea. I would have rather seen all those guys comepting in the regular tag division.

The problem with that is that Steiner was injured in March 2001 and missed most of the year.

The other day, I was thinking about the demise of WCW and how the promotion would have been had the Bischoff deal gone through. I was wondering what you all thought the future might have held for WCW in 2001. Keep in mind Bischoff would have had to have been a lot smarter with money since Fusient didn't have the unlimited resources Turner/Time Warner had. I think the promotion's roster would have been very interesting since they probably would have had the "brand names" (as Bischoff liked to call them) on top, such as Hogan, Nash, Sting, Goldberg, but also Bob Sapp (who they signed but never wrestled on TV), Sam Greco (an Australian kickboxer), possibly Sabu and RVD (who Bischoff showed interest in signing), a big push for Sean O'Haire (I've read Bischoff was real big on him), plus the cruiserweight division with new guys like AJ Styles, Kid Kash, Jason Jett (who I thought was awesome), Chris Daniels, and more. I think WCW in 2001 had the potential to be a really good promotion, or at the very least as good as they were during the early nWo era. What do you guys think? P.S. I think I might also post this at TSM and DVDVR, so if you see this post there (I have different names at both boards) don't think I plagiarized.

Tatanka's got a hell of a gut on him.
