Good thing Regal wasn't around by the time Russo got to Nitro or there would've been a storyline where Finlay kidnaps Regal to force him to proxy bomb a location otherwise he'll kill Squire Dave Taylor or something.

I remember checking in on WCW not long after the Hardcore Soldiers stable started and I actually thought for a moment that WCW might be stupid enough to do an IRA gimmick.

I mean hell, WWE had to be pleaded with to not do a Yakuza gimmick by Tajiri. And WCW was just as dumb if not dumber (especially with Russo holding the book) than WWE. It's possible that Russo didn't do gimmicks based around the Yakuza and IRA simply because he'd never heard of them.

I am superexcited for that period where Benoit gets the title despite leaving the company, and then the Radikalz showing up in WWF.

I'm more excited for the stuff they surely forgot happened, like Chuck Palumbo pinning Booker T for the WCW Title.

I am actually somewhat irritated that the reason he largely dropped song contests is because of the video stuff they do now, the songs were really good (the winner for being so awful!) and it was a lot of fun to listen to.

Also I am sad I don't remember The Undertaker slamdunking Lance Storm in 1997 and it makes me wish I lived in Granny's world.

You know it's weird, I've been watching WWE for so long that I just sort of compartmentalize things:

Yeah they were trashy in the Attitude Era, but that's what was what was popular!

Yeah there were steroids in the 80's and early 90's but that was the culture!

Etc
Etc
Etc

But to hear it laid out so bare for 2 straight hours I was just like "Why the gently caress do I still watch WWE???"

The PCO one was Mania weekend and the Jack Evans one was DEFY in December. I think Alvarez is completely off the DEFY card with Lawlor and Stunt injured.

God I know. I don't think they'd get in trouble for parodies/mashups like the old days cuz it's editing the original song but maybe I'm wrong there.
