pretty fucking embarrassing to watch
The three Flair/Steamboat matches from 1989 are very good and really hold up (one of them was Meltzers first 6 star match if you care about these things) and all are on the Network. Also from 1989 the Flair/Funk stuff is also great and very different: and then WCW falls off a cliff and isn’t very good for a little while.

1992 and parts of 1994 WCW are excellent. Watts WCW was actually very good in parts too.

Ugh, 1992 nose dives in quality after Watts takes over and the second half of 1994 is trash. There's some good Watts but it lacks the highs of early 92 or early 94. It's mostly really bland with more bad than good because he's pushing the wrong people.

It's mostly about individual good matches rather than the promotion as a whole, but the whole conversation was about good matches to look for, so

What dictates someone getting merch made in the WWE? Wanted to get a Kairi Sane shirt or something for my girl but there's nothing besides that Schamberg shirt....and yet Lacey Evans has a shirt made for her besides Kairi?

Look at Lacey. Look at Kairi. Try to think like the scumbag pieces of trash in WWE management. You'll find the answer.

Pretend to like him in the kayfabe sense, or does/did she actually dislike him?

She did, then the story changed when they were marketing that book.

I don't know if they worked things out or it's just for promotion now though.

Is there a reason why Victoria has never made any special appearances in the WWE (at least, none that I'm aware of) since she left the company?

It feels like drat near all the women from that time period have shown back up for at least one appearance except for her. Nothing at the Rumble, no appearance for Raw 25, doesn't look like she'll be appearing for Evolution.

Did something happen? Was there backstage heat on her or something? Or is it just a personal choice of hers?

The only thing I can recall is her insisting she was "retiring" when she left the WWE before signing with TNA a couple of months later

WWE interviewed her once for a documentary or something but she left her mic on between takes burying someone important (which I was told as Kevin Dunn) and they heard it.

Was banned from WWE shows for a good while. She complained on social media about it.

However, she was interviewed for the recent WWE Women's Evolution DVD so things seem to be someone forgotten.

Old puro/NOAH question but what did NOAH see in Takeshi Rikio that they had him end Kobashi's streak. Also why did they turn on him so quickly having him lose his second defense? (His only successful defense being against pre Ace of the Universe Tanahashi)

Same question but for the Nasty Boys. I would’ve expected a post-WCW appearance or two, especially considering that Jimmy Hart & Hogan have been around.

Didn’t they just do a Shield reunion? And Ambrose immediately got hurt, so Kurt Angle became a member? Wasn’t that like a few months ago?

They're real nasty, and also probably not enough of a draw to be worth it.

Angle subbed in when Reigns got cooties from Bray Wyatt. Ambrose got injured like a month or two later I think.
