He was Zeus in WWF but they even just said he was supposed to be the guy from the movie. Z-Gangsta it was only implied.

I dunno how prevalent it might have been in the states if at all but in the UK in the late 90s/early 00s there was always a dude being Kane at pretty much any Indy you could find. Just being billed as actually Kane.

Oklahoma v. Madusa for the WCW Cruiserweight Championship. Brian Knobbs is the hardcore champion. I've seen Brian Knobbs rear end hole. It looks like a VHS tape would fit in there perfectly.

So I found my old 486DX the other day (technically a 487 because I had a math coprocessor of course) and was going through some old files. Look what I had saved: (ironically I searched the internet for this because I can't transfer files from my 486 to my other computers - no floppy drives  )Obviously I was preserving it for the amazing graphic design it was. LA Melee 98 was an "audio-only internet PPV" because that's something you'd pay for. No one saved the audio broadcasts, though maybe WWE still has them someplace? But some fans did make home recordings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBiJSKOzAwU

I don't want to poo poo up the WWE threads with my bitching, but what exactly is the point of signing Sting and then having him job at every PPV? I thought the idea was to throw him into the geriatric wrestlers club and have him work the WWE Masters Tour, not have him put over much younger guys who are capable of working better matches. Really I'm just a dumb mark for Sting  Also, a guy his age shouldn't be taking a turnbuckle power bomb bump.

Just noticed they uploaded 97-98 WCW Nitros. First Nitro of '97 and Bischoff, Nash and X-pac take over the commentary table and proceed to be completely boring. Nothing has changed

I'm among the biggest and dumbest of Sting marks, but asking "why did they hire this old guy just to have him lose to these young guys," seems a little wrong-headed, especially here in the WCW thread of all places. That being said, Triple H beating Sting at last Mania was the dumbest god drat thing if they were always going to give him a title shot this year against the Authority's golden boy. He should be 1-1 right now instead of 0-2.

Honestly he shouldn't really even be in the main event unless they want to give him a title for reasons unknown. I always figured he could do matches against other part timers.

Yeah it would have made a lot more sense (and made WCW marks happy) to have Sting beat HHH. And man, they really should have had Robocop come out for the last minute assist.

Luger is the only person partially immune to the pheromones Sting produces that causes everybody he meets to turn on him. He had other visitors, but they kept hitting him in the head with his bedpan so the doctors had to shoo them out. (the doctors were wearing masks, which they realized was a necessary measure after the first 3 docs kept hitting Sting with his bedpan).

The Luger/Sting partnership always interested me, especially once I started watching Nitro along with Bryan & Vinny. Wasn't Luger always working heel at the time, unless he teamed up with Sting because they were such good buddies?

It's hard to betray somebody when you're overtly hostile to them to begin with. Even Sting has yet to cross that threshold.

But it never really worked. He ends up just essentially heeling it up behind Sting's back. So Sting would take a bump, then Luger would cheat to win, and Sting would be confused. During this time it has never crossed his mind to perhaps view the replay or just watch a tape.
