The first Undertaker Mania match at 17. By no means either of their best WM match (his match with DB and the Triple Threat with Michaels and Benoit would do well to stave that off), but I was impressed by it when I really wasn't on board with The Game.
-
Oh yeah. My bad...
-
Not to nitpick, but couldn't you find a PPV dub of the show?
-
I think it's either Jim or Tony, but one of them basically points out how they haven't seen a match this hot in awhile which speaks to how bad things were before, and how the clouds were lifting with regard to the in-ring product. Rude and Steamboat coming in almost back-to-back was a shot in the arm WCW needed to fill the void left by Flair.

What I think would be cool, is if WWE put up any damaged clips they had on YouTube, for free. Or better yet, seek out high-quality tapes from collectors if there are any.
-
What would be cool is if they had a multi-part series on what goes on behind the scenes from every technical perspective, including TV production, pyro, and obviously construction. Would especially be interesting if it was for WrestleMania, as those obviously get the most focus of any one show any given year.

[1993-12-27-WCW-Starrcade '93] Ric Flair vs Vader
flyonthewall2983 replied to Loss's topic in December 1993
When Buffer is introducing him, you can see that the response is legit getting to Ric, in a positive way. Nearly everything turned upside down for him from a professional standpoint from when Turner bought out the Crockett's, to when he got fed up with Herd and left. Flair got his mojo back in WWE for certain, even if they didn't use him as well as they could have you could see his confidence had returned. Even when he returned to WCW, and was stuck in things long-time fans found embarrassing (he liked the "Flair For The Gold" segments, but felt they should have been given more time), his enjoyment of what he was best at was undeterred. It's rare in life that things come full circle, but for that night it must have for him.- 39 replies

To take away that it's a reality show and might be scripted anyway, it's hard to take Duggan seriously when he's mad like he was in one segment, because every promo and interview he's done has always been in a shouty voice. Piper looks like an Irish Boston mob guy with that hat he's sometimes wearing, and Hillbilly Jim reminds me of an extra from Justified. shakla, Legends House is rated TV-14. Their ratings system is a little weird. A lot of the Attitude Era Raw's and Smackdowns get TV-PG when they were TV-14 back when they aired, Raw anyway. I think one of the early Starrcades actually merited a TV-MA, I'm guessing for all the bloodshed. Blood seems to bump anything up to a TV-14.

I like stuff like that as long as it isn't too distracting.

Shoots Review and Preview thread

The last regular one was in '92, the show right before WM VIII
-
So the latest WrestleMania Rewind about Savage's run at IV had Lanny talk a bit about his brother. I wonder if this means they're in negotiations about the HoF now.
-
I'm watching Clash VII now. This is the card of Vince McMahon's nightmares.
-
So how soon will we know what's happening with this?
-
For me, Hogan/Michaels. I remember very early on kind of wanting to see that happening, thinking it would be a good fit character-wise. When it finally did happen however, well, you know the rest of the story.

I sometimes just put stuff on to listen to it (mainly old stuff I've seen a million times).
-
As much as I dig it that they're all up now, I wish what they would do is just release stuff every day instead of in one big chunk all at once. First world problems, I know but it would be a nice way of doing it.

How long was Greg Valentine in WCW for in 1992? I'm watching Clash XX, and his match with Slater against Anderson/Eaton was always a highlight for me.

Comments that don't warrant a thread - Part 3
flyonthewall2983 replied to Loss's topic in Megathread archive
I thought it was baby blue. -
That is awesome. XX was the first WCW programming I remember clearly watching, great matches and some great history shared as it was ironically the 20th anniversary of wrestling on TBS. Billionaire Ted even made an appearance.
-
It could have easily taken the place of the Hogan/McMahon match then.
-
I remember holding out for hope that we would at least get one Hogan/Flair WrestleMania match when they were both in the company 12 years ago, for quite some time.

What did he say exactly?
