    So weird to see Ric running to the ring during his entrance.

    I think Rikishi getting is more the case of a guy who worked hard for them and getting proper due in that respect, than someone who's a top guy or an innovator of the business.

    Just heard Larry Zbyszko will be the next one announced.

    Plus I'd imagine he was pretty anti-WWF at the time. That's the impression I got from his RF shoot concerning the time he left WCW.

    That's what I was thinking. Shawn probably just bitched enough to Kevin to where he formed his own opinions without having met him. Makes a lot of sense, with human nature being what it is and how tight I'm sure the clique was when the split happened when 2-3 of them were in the other company.

    Didn't Rock have some heat with HBK? If that's true I'm guessing that's how this started.

    "even if the rest of the planet didn't care" Not the first time words to those effect were applied to Vince.

    I love the Muta match too. Muta as a member of the Dungeon of Doom would have given the group some credibility.

    They aired a pretty hot tag match, Flair/Arn vs. Dusty/Ron Garvin after WrestleMania IV Sunday. Is that anywhere On Demand on the network?

    I heard Chyna was brought up for HoF talk and Trips looked very uncomfortable.
  12. flyonthewall2983
    Bischoff's really growing into that grey hair now.

    Them getting fired for bleeding has always seemed so strange to me, since that was far from the first match in WCW where someone bled.
  14. flyonthewall2983
    I read they might be close to a deal. There is a Jerry Lawler documentary in the works so I imagine they'll get something soon.

    Is it true Hogan's WM IV check was 1 million?
  16. flyonthewall2983
    As to how WWE got the rights to Global, wouldn't it have just been part and parcel with the World Class deal?
  17. flyonthewall2983
    I was surprised to learn how poor his WCW deal was. Per what he said on Austin's podcast he made some percentage less of what Marc Mero was, who left not long after Wight started.

    What I want to know is, what breaks this monotony and puts the company in trouble again? Another WCW? In truth there is no lack of good wrestling around that's not WWE, but none of them (that I know of) can offer their talent anything approaching something equal to what they have. Plus good luck finding a company as big as Turner's was willing to put wrestling relatively in the forefront as Ted did. Another Chris Benoit-level tragedy? They've done well to cover their ass with their wellness program. Don't get me wrong, they've done some good things with it, too. But one gets the impression that ass-covering is more the reason for it. I certainly did after listening to Punk's AOW interview, and he even says as much in it.

    The main branch of the subject usually is Steve Austin, but in a way WCW losing Vader and Dustin Rhodes hurt the company in their own ways too. Especially Rhodes, who could legitimately have had a shot at being a top guy if he stuck around. It's especially painful to consider this with how ultimately unremarkable the Goldust character was from a wrestling standpoint when the character was fresh. He worked with top talent, but it wasn't terribly consistent and thus was given less opportunities to shine in the ring.

    They will put up an episode of Mid-South Wrestling sometime next month for Black History Month, with a show headlined by Junkyard Dog vs. King Kong Bundy.
  21. flyonthewall2983
    Watch Randy Anderson just before Hogan tosses him aside for the legdrop.
  22. flyonthewall2983
    Jesse's commentary has been removed from individual matches on WWE's recent home video releases so it's possible he stirred that pot up again. Plus, considering that Chris Kyle has been in the news again because of American Sniper doing so well at the Box Office, I'm not sure they'd want to risk giving Jesse TV time for fear that it might hurt their relationship with the USO.
  23. flyonthewall2983
    How long were the Nasties in WCW then?
  24. flyonthewall2983
    An Owen Hart-Eddie Guerrero program in that era of WWE would have been equally entertaining outside the ring as it was in. Don't forget Kurt Angle, who I think was in one of Owen's last matches.
