I remember there was a DDP one too, with the articulation that you could bend his arms into the Diamond Cutter.

Booking question that has probably answered before. My friend and I were watching Starrcade 91 last night (one of those hilarious BATTLE BOWL shows) and we were curious how the hell the booking worked for that? They were pulling envelopes out of the cage while clearly in front of the crowd so they definitely weren't pre-taped. Also, the wrestlers were all out on stage. My working theory was that they knew the match ups before hand and were just pulling out blank envelopes. I can't think of any other way to fix the results while in front of the crowd like that.

It's pretty hilarious. You think it'd just be easier to do pre-taped segments in the back where they announce who gets picked but whatever.

So I decided to throw on WCW Greed, their last PPV before closing.

We didn't get too far because we didn't have time, but the undercard actually owned pretty hard, even with a guy doing a gimmick as awful as Kwee Wee.

The Starrcade '91 Lethal Lottery was a complete shoot. Guys just went in & called matches on the fly. They learned their lesson & worked the draw for the 1992 Starrcade.

I seriously wonder if there was any validity to Debra McMichaels's supposed gag order against her after Austin hit her.

Why anyone would be sexually attracted to Nancy Grace's little sister is beyond me.

Hmm really? I figured the draw had to be pre-determined because of the matchups. You had the freebirds on opposite sides in one match, dangerous alliance being teamed together, and then sting/Abdullah the butcher being paired together despite the fact they were feuding.

I suppose it could just be a ridiculous coincidence, but still.

That's the story the way I've always heard it, but I can't find anything to confirm/deny it right now. But seriously, who would willingly book Mike Graham & Diamond Dallas Page vs Jushin Liger & Bill Kazmeier??

This is actually the best argument I've ever heard for it being a shoot.

Didn't Johnny Ace book those last couple months of WCW? It actually got pretty OK before WWF bought it. Like, it couldn't touch what WWF was doing at the time, but it was a show with feuds and matches that actually built up to something. And there was a cruiserweight tag-team title! Fuckin A, man. :respek:

2001 WCW was pretty solid, but by then way too much damage had been done, and the shows were only decent because a lot of the guys ruining everything had been taken off TV temporarily.
