hey, all i said was that Jericho wasn't maybe the best wrestler of all time, and people got angry. But now I know that he was the equal of the Rock and Austin and Hogan in star power and drawing ability, despite every single bit of evidence saying otherwise. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Starrcade 1997 was such a crappy show despite being WCW's biggest ever (?).

Ahhhh Starrcade 97. The big 'revenge on the nWo' show that didn't have any revenge on the nWo because Nash conveniently had chest pains and Hogan (probably) sabotaged his match so what should have been the biggest moment in WCW history had a huge asterisk that you don't usually see in pro wrestling.

So I just realized that Hulk Hogan's first WCW television appearance outside of that parade is never talked about in wrestling history. I've followed wrestling for years and I've literally never heard anybody even talk about it. When was it? What happened?

Checking out that Double J pay chart again, and him making $500k in 2000 makes people freaking out about wrestlers getting similar from WWE to stay now seem ridiculous. Adjusted for inflation that $500k from 2000 is a bit over $700k now. Clearly WWE has been ruinous and a regressive force against the wages of wrestlers, in North America if not worldwide for the last 20 years. Wrestlers are the dumbest goddamn entertainers/athletes in the world. All the CTE of legit sports, but a pittance of the pay, and no union benefits or protections of an actor's guild/players' association.

The entire gimmick of the episode was that Vince had just been kicked out of the Corporate Ministry by Shane and the CORPORATE MINISTRY was even more eviller than the Corporation or the Ministry of Darkness and had been terrible to everyone, so THE UNION was standing up to them and Commissioner Michaels showed up to randomly book punishment matches against the Corporation, so in that context, while the matches were awful, they were all come-uppances: Big Show (Union, Face) vs. Paul Bearer (Corporate Ministry, heel) Test (Union) vs. Bossman (Corporate Ministry) Mideon & Viscera (Corporate Ministry) vs. Cactus Jack (Union, but so hardcore he can take on two big men) Bradshaw vs. Farooq in a lumberjack match (Acolytes were Ministry, forced to fight each other with the Union outside) Chyna (Corporate Ministry) vs. Ken Shamrock (Union) Mean Street Posse (Corporate Ministry) vs. Patterson and Briscoe (Union adjacent) Triple H & Undertaker & Shane (Corporate Ministry) vs. Austin & Rock & Vince (Babyfaces/Union adjacent) The rest was just garden variety awful.

Raises hand I actually liked the union because it made sense that faces would actually unite for fight the evil group instead of going it alone like an idiot. Or like a main eventer. You arn't a main eventer Test, seek strength in numbers.

An oral history of the Ministry of Darkness would be interesting reading although I’m not sure how much sourcing you’d get without letting WWE hack the history part off at the knees.

It's fortunate Vince was less set in his ways in 1999. If somebody utters the word 'union' around him these days he will literally hate them to death.

Later, Flair beat Sting to unify the WCW World Heavyweight and International World titles and cement his heel turn (Sherri showed up in Sting make-up then turned on him), then Hogan came out and challenged him.
