    Did anyone listened to the episode with Jim Johnston ? Was it interesting ?

    You can feel Hogan was nervous cutting the promo, but he pulls off a rare *money* promo for the ages here, and I actually got shivers rewatching the whole thing. This is pro-wrestling at its absolute best, this is heat, and Hogan reinvents himself as the biggest draw in wrestling for the next year and a half again. I wonder how Vince and his office reacted when they saw this. They must have saw the writing on the wall at this point. On Heenan's call, yeah, it fit his character and his long term relationship with Hogan, and he redeems himself afterward with "I told you all along", but shouting "Whose side is he on ?" twice did hurt the moment a bit. Schiavone was exceptionnal during the whole match though, and his call at the end, complete with adding "straight to hell" and dumping his mic down, remains my favourite pro-wrestling call ever. Just perfect. Yeah, this was awesome. WCW could begin to print $$$ now.

    Smarkschoice used to be a great place in the mid 00's (I know, this isn't answering your question).

    Vader's 1993 Timeline was on the boring side. Vader tells a few interesting stuff, but he also talks a whole lot about how great he was, how great his contract was, how great he and Austin as a team would have been, how great the Foley feud was etc… You really don't get the feel of WCW in 93 from an interview like that.

    Cool. Right now instead of the secondary title we see the date at which the thread was started, which really is of no use and actually quite confusing to me. Otherwise, seems like a great new setup. And I also enjoy the fact this stupid "like" function is off.

    "Twitter-sphere" and "social medias" as generalization are just as retarded and annoying to me. And you hear it all the time, everywhere.

    Another great angle. The crowd in Charlotte popped hard for Hall & Nash, which is a sign of bad things to come. These guys are already cooler than those WCW goofs with warpaints on. Schiavone was a terrific announcer during the development of the nWo angle, he doesn't get nearly enough credit because everybody always thinks about bad Tony from later on.

    Luger almost saying WWF was funny since you could think he was gonna be the third man. Well, ok, not really, but in the course of *that* angle, it wasn't a big deal since Hall & Nash were essentially New York.

    All the details (dates, TV shows) from the Yearbooks threads have disapeared. I can't picture the headaches... (well apparently it's because there are no secondary titles to the threads anymore. sigh.)

    The crowd is popping hard for Barbie's bombs. Basically Barbie killing Eddie with huge spots until he tries one too many. A little bit too much "slipping on a banana peel" victory to me, but they were still pushing Eddie above his weightclass, which was good.
  11. El-P
    But who the third man will be ? Shawn Michaels ? 1-2-3 Kid ? British Bulldog ?? Anyway, Hogan's name being booed out of the building clearly shows he was the absolute perfect choice for the angle. You want to boo him ? We'll give you a reason. (Cena anyone ?)

    Really fun brawl that looked fresh in comparison with all those routine matches Flair was having otherwise. The champagne spot and the Heenan chase were terrific touches. Like Loss said, you can feel they are wrapping things up to let the stage clear for the upcoming nWo, but not in an obvious ways, are there are still a lot of stuff going on especially with the Horsemen vs Dungeon of Doom. Flair coming down the ring with the three hot women was awesome.
  13. El-P
    Still love everything about this match and angle. The last great heel Horsemen angle.
  14. El-P
    Thinking this came almost back to back with the first Mysterio match, and before the big nWo puts Eric through the platform angle/New Horsemen angle, it's amazing how much great things WCW had going on. This PPV was the turning point to me, WCW was clearly on fire from this point on.
  15. El-P
    What Loss said. In there Dean truly was wrestling at his best, and he looked like a great worker. Mysterio got himself over and already looked like the best worker in the company next to Benoit. And all of a sudden the cruiserweight title is becoming something important to the WCW alchemy, and something absolutely new and fresh in the US wrestling realm. WCW was truly going forward in spectacular ways at this point.
  16. El-P
    Flair and Arn bitch forever before they get any kind of offense. This truly has an early WCW/late NWA feel to it, although Flair looks old at points, like when he fucks up his usual reversal spot with Sting. Arn is terrific and Luger worked hard almost every time around at this point. And once again, a good post-matcg angle putting over the Giant as a monster.
  17. El-P
    I agree this is a money promo if Nash ever gave one. Hall is great bullying Eric on the side, messing up with his hair, while Nash looks downright threatening and dangerous. The way Heenan flew off the set at the beginning was perfect. Damn, going through the early stage of the nWo angle just reminds me why I used to love WCW.
  18. El-P
    Yep, WCW was definitely on the right track, they looked more and more like the actual A game. Luger vs Giant was well built with good angles like this one.
  19. El-P
    Terrific angle. Hall was still deeply in Razor mode here. Bischoff is pretty great in putting over the tension and fear, and Sting's slap is fantastic. You can feel something special is building here.
  20. El-P
    Corrected.

    People still reading SKeith to this day still use Netscape too I guess.
  22. El-P
    Yeah. Well, English teaching in Japan seemed to be a pretty cool way to go back into a normal, more stable way of living. I remember WWF always pimped the fact she spoke several languages back then. Hopefully for her, the whole "fired because drunk" thing is just a rumour.
  23. El-P
    And not because there are some videos out there of her going into gang-bangs with wrestlers look-alike ?

    Steven's gone

    El-P replied to Loss's topic in Forums Feedback

    Who was Steven already ?
  25. El-P
    There it is. The biggest angle of the 90's, the one which arguably kickstarted the new golden age begins. The execution was so great. For a few months, everything about the nWo angle was amazing and just perfectly done. Gotta love how they use WWF's petty video against them here, in a constructive way.
