fun observer notes from this week's show

-Van Hammer was released
-Russo is forcing Kanyon to do the DDP imprrsonation gimmick at this point and Kanyon is trying to leave
-They actually did shoot an entire Russo interview for Thunder and WCW Legal legitimately killed it because of his comments on the Hogan lawsuit
-Despite the interview being pulled well in advance, they continued to advertise it up to the point where it was to be aired then said"Whoops, well have to try it again on Nitro"
-Reno debuted
-A second interview with Russo was done which didn't piss off WCW Legal. In it, Russo went on a rant about how he was bringing Starrcade to Long Island and would hire John Rocker so he could beat his rear end for the NY crowd. Starrcade 2000 was already booked for and took place at the MCI Center in Washington DC.
-Russo also promised WCW would be where it needed to be in 10 months (June 2001)
-Eric Bischoff is trying to sell Fox on a show combining demolition derby and pro wrestling.

I gotta say these past few weeks have been rough- the show is at a point now where just nothing matters and it lacks even the lunacy that made Russo's first trainwreck of a run fascinating.

Also in cost saving matters everyone is getting cut and they refuse to bring DDP back as he's too old looking.

ChrisBTY posted:

Twice.

He was sent home in January 2000 because while his booking wasn't working and numbers were going down, he then tried to get Tank Abbott crowned as WCW champion after Jeff Jarrett got concussed by Jimmy Snuka on the build to Souled Out. (Which itself led to Benoit and others leaving or try ing to leave)


Then he got brought back in April with Bischoff. Russo ended up dominating more of the booking.

Bischoff and Russo didn't coexist well, and each basically left. Bischoff completely disappeared off of TV after Bash at the Beach. Russo took time off before then, but came back after being gone for a week or two and stayed on through October when they finally sent him home for good. (After he booked himself to win the title and got concussions)
