Looking back over the menu, their decision to call the appetizers the Undercard is at least kind of clever. Nature Boy's Soups & Salads, though :psyduck:

Ahhh ballet

I love at the bottom where it says "Stop by the gift shop on your way out for a complete line of official WCW merchandise &" and just ends with the ampersand. It just sums everything up so well.

I don't why it's making me laugh but I love that the Sting burger has this detailed description about all this stuff on it and then the Hogan burger is just: BBQ sauce, bacon, cheese.

If you order anything Flair related, they bring you 5 Hogan related items instead.

I heard that the Hulkster once ate a Hogan Burger at the restaurant and all 70,000 diners jump to their feet at once and cheered for him, brother, as he slammed down all 650 lbs. of beef.

Hey NWOites, what should I ask Kevin Sullivan if I get a chance to at this fundraiser fanfest meet and greet thing I'm going to on Thursday?

No, I'm not going to say the word Benoit.

Watching Souled Out 97 and listening to B&V's review and man this whole NWO thing is basically Poochie: The PPV

Souled Out was such a disaster I have no idea why they a) went ahead with the nWo, b) were still looking to implement a WCW/nWo brand split into early-mid '98, and/or c) held 3 more Souled Out events

The brand split thing in particular baffles me. Souled Out was a fiasco because it was so heavily skewed in the nWo's favor so the matches had no drama and the announcers never stopped burying WCW guys and touting the nWo. nWo Nitro was a disaster because they spent most of the episode remodeling the set, and the rest of it sucking Hogan's dick in two different 20-or-so-minute segments. I mean, it's not me, right -- the nWo could have had appeal as a separate brand if the group wasn't shoved down your throat like that.

Because they still had Sting/Hogan to do at Starrcade and nWo made hells of money for WCW?

Right, that was a stupid bone to pick at on my part. Besides it's not like there wasn't a huge percentage of the Nitro viewership who didn't order Souled Out.

I'd say Souled Out was a pretty key example of the kind of awful poo poo you can get away with when the overall product is hot.

Definitely. Russo only gets heat on him for what he did in WCW and TNA, and it's because he was booking like he always did but was losing money and viewers this time.

Souled Out impressed me because you had some of the top minds in the wrestling business all agree to completely forego everything they learned about said business.

I really can't wait for the post-Russo Raws to go up on the Network. I think everything from the end of 1999 until the Invasion will be an amazing nostalgia trip.

Summerslam 2000 is where it ends, but That Talent Roster + Great Booking = the hottest poo poo in the history of poo poo. I'm not saying there weren't some bad moments (like, literally everything Involving Jericho because he's 'Too Short') but it's so much fun.

Do they have a set schedule for getting the 97-00 nitros added to the network? I've been wanting to watch the shows that got mentioned in the Death of WCW book because maaaan they sound incredible.
