A collection of beautiful Observer quotes about WCW: August 23, 1999 posted:There have been diversity meetings as it regards to race relations. Things were ok in the office until the No Limit Soldiers vs. Cowboys angle, because the office is basically made up of country music fans and African Americans, and the angle somehow polarized the office. One of Bischoff's secretaries wrote a very nasty racial joke on her computer and emailed it to her friend, but apparently pushed the wrong button and emailed it to everyone, both black and white, in the office. September 25, 1999 posted:Steiner & Lex backing off from La Parka, which was booked as a practical joke, saying Luger was afraid of skeletons. February 21, 2000 posted:A Tv Series starring Duggan called 'Biker's Court' was attempting to be sold for syndication at the NATPE convention last week. It was a worked cross between Judge Judy and Jerry Springer, with bikers as the jurors, a silicon implanted baliff and Duggan carrying his 2X4 as the judge. A typical episode is a midget smoker who is suing the tobacco companies claiming smoking stunted his growth and asking for compensation for a multimillion dollar NBA career that he didn't have.

The October 21st 96 Observer is up and it's a big issue. Dave breaks down the bidding war over Bret Hart and the age demographics for the Monday Night Wars. The most interesting part is the confirmation that John Cena is basically a more popular version of 1996 Shawn Michaels, except not as good in the ring as Shawn, but much more popular with women. The latter struck me as funny. On top of this it covers Dynamite Kid's farewell in Japan, the legalization of UFC in New York (Ha!) quote:In a nutshell, from a legislative standpoint in New York, the only difference between human cockfighting and athletic competition is whether the state can get its cut. Then there is the story of Sabu leaving Tokyo Pro Wrestling over not wanting to do barbed wire matches, work with Abdullah and some other issues culminating in him threatening to skip his final show with the promotion: quote:It was believed Sabu was going to simply fly home without doing the Osaka show, but instead he did a double swerve. quote:Among those appearing at the 10/6 AWF television tapings in Tampa were Missy Hyatt, Bobby Bradley Jr., Fire Cat (Brady Boone), Charlie Norris, Billy Two Eagles (from Portland), Fidel Sierra, Chris Adams, Steve Doll, Blacktop Bully, Sgt. Slaughter, Konnan 2000 (Scott Putski), Texas Hangmen, Koko Ware, Mr. Hughes, Tony Atlas, Nailz, Road Warriors, Honkytonk Man and One Man Gang. They drew about 500 fans, who were paid $50 apiece by the promotion and given catered food to attend making it at negative $25,000 house which must set some sort of a record. AWF starts back on Ch. 2 in New York at 1:30 a.m. Sundays starting 10/20. There are negotiations to bring AWF to the FX cable channel as early as January. quote:The WCW Saturday Night show was taped on 10/8 in Greenwood, SC before a sellout 2,600 (2,100 paying $20,000). Almost nothing significant on the show. The NWO segment was taped before the card started on 10/7. Hall & Nash wrestled with a crowd of two people (DiBiase and Vincent) and they piped in all kinds of fake crowd noise as they wrestled the Starbuck brothers, said to be twins, a fat black guy and a skinny white guy, billed as being stars from Madison Square Garden and being from Stamford, CT. The guy who wasn't in the ring would do the commentary. It was a 12:00 segment edited down to 5:00, and even then it was about 2:00 too long. There was some good inside humor which of course is lost on 99% of the crowd, but stuff like that gets old in a hurry. So naturally they're going to do it again next week. Actually as bad as the Saturday show usually is, that and the Nick Patrick interviews are the most memorable thing about the show. quote:At the Nitro from Cleveland on 9/30, if you had a dish, you could find the back-haul feed from the hotel room and see Kevin Sullivan after the NWO segments handing the guys their scripts, telling them where to sit and what to say. It's amazing something that bad was actually scripted. Anyway, after the show ended those watching on dishes could see Savage and Liz walk back into the room where Eric Bischoff, Sullivan and the NWO guys were all talking about what a great job they'd done.

It was a promotion that immediately opened and started with TV tapings as the Monday Night Wars started to ramp up. In a stroke of brilliance, the AWF copped the rounds system from MMA/Boxing. The top draws were Sgt. Slaughter, Koko B Ware, and Tito Santana. In the mid-90's. Oh and Nails, the WWF wrestler formerly known as Nailz. Honestly, it was a really stupid gambit that was so bad they literally could not give away tickets. And somehow it has outlasted WCW. Probably because even Vince doesn't care enough to buy out the remnants for the tape library. OJ MIST 2 THE DICK fucked around with this message at 21:58 on Dec 26, 2013 |

(Also some other stupid rules as I recall- didn't they have WCW's brief top-rope ban?)

quote:Terms of the WWF contract aren't known for certain, although the actual figures bandied about within the industry and that were reported here last week are higher than the actual numbers on the contract on both ends, although both deals would have amounted to more money guaranteed over the three year period than all but two or three pro wrestlers have earned over their entire career. It is believed the WWF deal amounts to slightly less than $3 million per year guaranteed over the first three years of the contract, and a lesser amount for a non-performer contract that would cover the remaining 17 years which is why Hart in the interview said he'd be with the WWF for life. It is believed the total figure amounts to somewhere between $11 million and $14 million over the length of the contract. Hart has made it clear that he didn't want to wrestle past his prime as most of the major superstars in wrestling end up doing, particularly since he's been outspoken about Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair's continuing to wrestle in their mid-to-late 40s. Hart is also well known for being, well, the opposite of extravagant when it comes to lifestyle so he should be easily set for life and in some ways it's an amazing story for someone who not all that many years ago during the drug era seemed destined to be a very talented mid-card performer. No way this can go wrong. Also, the "stipulations" included stuff like "I'm in the main event I don't' see why I should have to turn up on time I wanna turn up half way through the show" quote:There were two changes in the original line-up. Savio Vega was replaced by Hunter Hearst Helmsley in the PPV opener against Steve Austin due to an undisclosed injury which was apparently suffered on a weekend tour of Puerto Rico. While Austin-Vega would have been a better match, Austin had a good match with Helmsley who was a very solid and suitable replacement. Start of the "Solid B+" stuff from Dave. quote:The rest of the NWO did an angle with Sting where the Imposter Sting was wrestling J.L. when the real Sting came out and put him in the scorpion. All the NWO guys were there but none helped Imposter Sting. Afterwards they asked Sting, dressed in black, to join the NWO and Sting didn't give a positive or negative answer. The idea here is to do an angle based on the shoot situation with Bret Hart, but this time WCW can win. Zing!

I'd forgotten how much trash the crowds at Nitro would throw into the ring whenever the NWO would do something at the end of a show. It's almost like people would save up their garbage to chuck into the ring.

Goldberg pulling up to the arena in a shitbag Taurus And yeah, garbage filling the ring was a classic Nitro theme. I wouldn't be surprised if 95% of the food/beverage sales came within the last ten minutes of the show. haljordan fucked around with this message at 03:56 on Jan 5, 2014 |

It's been two weeks since we've watched Nitro, and in a way it will be another two weeks until we watch Nitro! Tonight is WCW CLASH OF THE CHAMPIONS, the go home show for nWo Souled Out! Tonight at 8 PM we will watch the Penultimate CLASH OF THE CHAMPIONS which looks to be a great show. nWo Souled Out will likely be next week and it looks like it will be a less great show. There's a crazy lucha six man tag. Dean Malenko challenges Ultimo Dragon for the cruiserweight title (Dragon lost the J-Crown at the 1997 January 4th Dome Show) Benoit faces Sullivan in a Falls Count Anywhere match that probably ends up in the bathroom. Lex Luger faces Scott Hall. Norton faces Eddy AND SO MUCH MORE! It's a two hour show with 9 matches but the ones with potential don't look rushed. http://www.psp-tv.com/r/BadMoviesWorseWrestling Join us at 8 for WCW and a bit earlier for the first episode of Cowboy Who? After WCW I will either show more Cowboy Who? or maybe TNA. I find Cowboy Who? completely fascinating so that's more likely. I could also be convinced to do a movie?
