    http://culturecrossfire.com/wrestling/souledout97/ Looking back at one of the worst PPVs of all time.... Crooked refs, bad announcing, large women dancing, nWo B-team guys in half the matches, a dead crowd, Hogan vs The Giant part 25, X-Pac errrrrr Syxx in the best match, Oh the humanity! --- Watching this week in RAW/Nitro from 97. Raw crowd is dead early on and this is the night after Mania. Steve Austin turning face seems a bit odd as he hit his stride over the past 5 months or so as a no nonsense shit talking heel and had lots of hay to make off that yet. I realize I'm saying this about the biggest drawing babyface in wrestling history. Nitro was headlined by Prince Iaukea vs Macho Man. I'm sure they killed RAW anyway.

    In my head in 1997, this was a huge deal. If Connor McGregor got wrapped up with the Mania build it may give me similar tickles down the leg

    I have a memory of Piper escaping the island by boat that I apparently totally made up in my head.

    This was a lot of fun. Kind of wish Nick Patrick had bulked up and stayed a worker in the 80's.

    http://culturecrossfire.com/wrestling/greg-gagne-shoot/#.Vqtq0fkrLIU One of my favorite shoots to date sees Greg Gagne tell the story of the AWA, he and his father's careers, plus a great deal of exaggerated and outright made up stories about Hulk Hogan becoming part owner of the AWA, how Gagne invented the nWo, his workrate outshining the NWA stars', how Verne nearly invented the UFC, his downfall as a WCW agent, his time spent working in the WWE, sexually harassing divas, slight burials of Nick Bockwinkel and Ricky Steamboat and much much more! A must read IMO!!
  14. BruiserBrody
    The WON says Malenko got a stiff shot to the spine around the five minute mark and worked the last 8 mins not being able to feel his legs. Ironically, the injury was around the same time that the match took off to the next level.
  15. BruiserBrody
    I wish they hadn't done the exact same match the night before on Nitro. The chair shot that finished things was pretty weak too. At least they brought Jackie in to add a new twist to the angle the following Monday.

  20. BruiserBrody
    Wrestlingdata had no evidence of it happening, plus TA was still a jabroni so I doubt the paranoid Piper would make a call like that.

  22. BruiserBrody
    That's why I had to laugh when Magnum TA went on JR's podcast after Piper died and told a story about Roddy doing a one shot in Florida or something and was suppose to beat TA, but called an audible and had TA beat him clean instead.
  23. BruiserBrody
    Ditto the above comment. The first 22 mins or so of the match is hard to watch as the camera work ignores the first part of the bout as the Dungeon and Horsemen brawl. Then we get an annoying 3 screens that make things hard to see and focus with. No real notable spots after that until we get to the finish. I read somewhere Scott Steiner was announced in the match, never showed and then the announcers pretended he got tossed. Is that true?
  24. BruiserBrody
    Definitely a tremendous angle. WCW was impotently booked constantly, so this really stood out.
  25. BruiserBrody
    Scott Hall seems to be a good color man, it's a shame the demons ruined that aspect of his future as well.
