[1991-11-19-WCW-Clash of the Champions VII] Eric Bischoff and Jim Ross phone conversation

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Jim Ross tries to talk to Eric Bischoff on a telephone and of course they cannot hear each other initially. Tony Schiavone is audibly scolded for not wearing his headset. WCW! Bischoff tells us that Sting has lots of adrenaline.

Sting is at a MEDICAL FACILITY^TM. Ross and Bischoff have trouble connecting while someone tells Schiavone to get his head out of the shot. Sting's knee swelled up to three times its normal size, but he gave a thumbs up.

WCW production at its finest with Bischoff on location giving an update on Stings condition.

Sting's knee swelled up three or four times its normal size? And he's not going in for immediate surgery? Come on, guys, lay off the hyperbole, for heaven's sake. A guy wrestling with a 106 degree fever makes more sense than that. (Actually, if Sting's knee was swollen that badly, they wouldn't be able to do much with it at all, including take definitive medical tests such as MRIs.)

 

I notice that they went out of their way not to identify the "medical facility" Sting went to, so I'm guessing they were just backstage in a place where no fans could see. Nice use of "technical difficulties" to establish the illusion of distance.

 

Note to the WCW technical crew: If you're going to tell your announcers to get their heads out of camera range, turn your mics off first!
