WCW's Highway to Hell

[Johnny Guitar]

Tremendous!

[El Boricua]

El-P, you have been a brave adonis, a cadillac of men with this trek. May you grace us with another project in the future, albeit one with more personal enjoyment for you.

[goc]

Still hoping you'll do a "when WCW was good" project of either 97-99 WCW or 86-87 JCP.

[El-P]

Well thanks everyone. I'm sure glad you enjoyed it.

 

No idea what will be next. For now, I'm taking a break.

[gingears]

Well deserved. Congratulations on seeing this the whole way through!

[jdw]

I deserve to get laid. Now.

Great thread, Jerome.

 

I'd hate to see this locked. It's a great reference thread, and the type of thing that someone else might be looking at WCW from this era in 2-3 years and have a question. We've seen other old reference threads like this pop up with good questions and then good discussion. It's not like we're going to get invaded by a Russo-Bot who defends the stuff, but instead more likely someone who is wondering about something. Like that Final PPV that he had good things to say about.

Great thread, Jerome.

[Marty]

The most enjoyable, upsetting, exciting, frustrating, surrealistic and funny thread I've ever seen.

 

Take a bow, Jerome, and thanks for suffering for our enjoyment, and also for some great writing!

[Matt D]

Shit, come watch 78-80+ Portland. It'll be the salve that makes it all okay.

 

Anyway, I love how it rolled right into "Death of WCW Invasion angle..."

 

Hilarious and fitting. I like how people kept going "It's going to get better." I imagine you'll hunt them down one after the next.

It will be locked and pinned. I don't want it bumped a year or two or three from now. Create a new thread. I am preserving this one.

[khawk20]

Nicely done. Thank you for doing this.

[El-P]

Thanks again guys, really.

 

So, before Will locks and pins this one, I will post a list of the matches I actually enjoyed months by months, so to end on a more positive note.

[ohtani's jacket]

You should sell this as a book.

[El-P]

With the amount of profanities and insults I've been throwing around, I kinda doubt I could. I dunno.

 

So, there is a list of the matches I've basically enjoyed the most. These aren't all *good* matches. There are some comedy stuff, some squashes, some angle-driven matches, some stuff that was just decent but refreshing in context. (some dates may be slightly off, especially for the C-shows matches, and I didn't put the PPV names. Yeah, I'm lazy.)

Don't encourage me. I'm juggling enough viewing projects as it is and don't need reminders to put myself through this in addition to all of those.

DON'T WATCH THAT STUFF ! EVER !

[DeanColes1987]

Amazing stuff, Barry Windham all of a sudden becoming motivated again in 1999 WCW of all places is both awesome and hilarious.

[With Coil]

Scott Steiner finally getting that push, Ernest Miller, Jim Duggan's heel turn, WarGames 2000: Russo Revenge, and Sean O'Haire are probably my favorite things about WCW 2000.

[Mrzfn]

For me it's 3 Count, Scott Steiner, and Stevie Ray being unintentionally hilarious on commentary.

[SirEdger]

I got a soft spot for everything Lance Storm did in 2000. Including renaming all the championships he had, like the Hardcore title becoming the Saskatchewan Hardcore Invitational Title.

[fakeplastictrees]

There was a good wrestling company living inside WCW that was just dying to get out. Booker T, Scott Steiner, 3 Count, Lance Storm and Team Canada, Mike Awesome, the luchadors, etc. All the elements of a watchable wrestling company were there, so of course the only logical conclusion is to bring back Bertha Faye, make Vince Russo champion, run endless hours of JJ talking about stroke and power, and ensure there are at least 1,000 WWF references per show.

A WWE Highway to Hell thread is going to be interesting. If the company folds in the next five years, what would be considered WWE's moment of putting the keys into the ignition? I would have to say the Saudi deal would be a good start, but if I am being honest, I feel as though we would need to start with ADR's "Destiny" and go from there.
