There was that time where Sting/Warrior teamed against Hogan/Bret

It sucked though

I remember this, but I feel like hyping it for PPV would have been a better idea

I wonder how many WCW shitshows have that sentence in there somewhere

It didn't do a particularly impressive rating and the more you put Warrior out there the more he was exposed.

True but that's why you do a tag match. Mind you I'd rather not encourage anybody to use him.

I'm at the anti-gay part of part 2 and it's just reminding me that Punk once told this story on his livejournal

quote:

Late that night, back at Harleys house, we all ate some great BBQ and Harley had about a million billion martinis I think it was. He had these little pickled green beans he'd put in them....anyway....he drank a LOT. Which is no surprise, he's Harley loving Race. And yes, I just capitilized the 'F' in loving. Ace is pretty tanked too, to set the scene...i'm just stuffed with BBQ, when this hilarious conversation ensues. Harley gets to telling stories, which on another side note is some of the best times i've ever had in my life. Just having the privilege to sit and listen to Harely talk about his career on numerous occasions has been really rewarding. He was talking about his run in the WWF, the reason he was brought in, and more importantly who he was working at the time. The conversation went exactly like this:

Harley: "...and he had me working Hogan, JYD, and one of my last programs was with....poo poo. What's his name? The guy. You know. Big guy....c'mon, you know!
That human being Indian."

Now...I bust out laughing and Ace and I just look at each other while Harely is scrunching up his face trying to remember who he is talking about. I start throwing out names, but none of them really make any sense. I mean....Wahoo never worked in the WWF, and certainly if he did, Harely wouldn't call him "that human being Indian". Tatanka, who Ace proudly proclaimed was who Harely must've been talking about. Certainly you all know Tatanka, while having wrestled in the WWF, it was years after Harely had already retired. So i'm sitting there, and Harely is literally scratching his head and Ace is clueless...and I really don't have any clue either. So I think..."human being indian"...and I blurt out:

Punk: "The Ultimate Warrior?"

Harley: "YES! That loving GOOF!"

Obviously not cool to describe him as such but I can only imagine how bad Warrior would melt down if he'd known.

But they did the tag and it didn't hide him. They hid him as much as possible and it still didn't work. He was so broken down they needed to have The Disciple do the lifting in certain angles.

Any additional matches before doing Hogan/Warrior 2 would be a mistake.

Started listening to Wrestlesplainia thanks to the recommendations in the thread, so cheers for that, it's great.

In the same vein, I also listen to Wrestle Me, which is sort of the same gimmick, but is about the individual Wrestlemanias. Couple of Brits, one dude has seen them all, the other none.

https://radiostakhanov.com/wrestleme/

Wrestle Me is pretty great, except that they stopped one of the episodes for several minutes (i think on mania 2) to talk about how good Moolah is and how much they like her and how she advanced the business and was so brave. That was weird.

Hey, it's a proven system. OSW started something and it blossomed into a lot of podcasts I like. AE Podcast, New Gen (plus How2Wrestling and Cinema Swirl), Wrestle Me, all sorts of cool pods from the British Isles. Most of them better than OSW, in my view at least.
