1997 Nitro rules. So far they’ve hyped Mongo vs Kevin Greene of the Carolina Panthers, The Giant and Lex Luger vs Dennis Rodman and Hogan, and now this is happening...

It’s been glorious reliving all these episodes I haven’t seen in 20 years. Sting just flew away from the nWo!!!  God I wish I could GIF that, it was HILARIOUS.

1997 is also when Hogan was really coming into his own as a heel, and was loving amazing at it.

BGrifter posted:Oh god The Oddities with Kurgan if memory serves? The Oddities was WWF WCW has a faction in Summer 1999 that's Raven, Vampiro, and ICP. This is about a month before Raven asks for and gets his release, and the group sort of persists for a bit but is then disbnaded. Later in Summer 2000, WCW reforms the group with Vampiro, ICP, Muta, and the KISS Demon.

On the flipside, Vampiro was in the WCW Juggalo group and Vamp sucks. But yeah, no criticism for the ICP boys, they are total wrestling fanboys and often when on tour would just ring up a local indy and ask if they could do something. And then Juggalos would buy tickets just to see their boys and the promotion would get an unexpected windfall at the gate.

Mutoh's involvement in nWo Japan was like, the key to the storyline for a good year. He wasn't just some dude in the group.

It's still kinda funny to me that ICP who look and act like the grossest music artists in the industry say that their worst experiences were around wrestlers, especially Shaggy saying he never saw pills or heroin until he got into wrestling.

I don't speak Japanese and reports in English at that time were non existent for the most part, so I never really understood exactly how that was explained in story.

I watched WCW in '99 when I was little and I do remember Revolution. But what happened to them? Was it disbanded by the time 3 out of the 5 members wanted to bail to WWF?

And while Douglas, the one who didn't jump to WWE, was the leader/mouthpiece of the group, his star was fading fast at that point. I think he kept the Revolution theme music, but he didn't do much after that. Basically you had the whole group suddenly jumping ship to WWE but swapping out Douglas for Guerrero.

Cut a lot of promos where he threatened to "Franchise" people's asses. It was not great.
