Yeah that's what I was talking about.

I used to host ppv parties and always tried to get new people to come. The new person at that event was way into the match and then just deflated at the finish. I was already used to wrestling disappointing me.

Followed by Macho King vs Ultimate Warrior

Followed by Macho Man vs Jake the Snake (though that one didn't have a satisfying blowoff, as it was Taker who kayfabe ended Jake's run)

Macho had some great feuds, is what I'm saying.

Macho supposedly wanted to do a 'passing of the torch' type feud with Shawn Michaels to put him over when he was on his way out.

I hate that it never got to happen because that could have been an incredible feud.

Not TNA, but the still from that Australian tour used in the Grantland article header is one of the saddest things I've ever seen in wrestling. Just a tired Ric Flair covered in blood gasping at a tired Hulk Hogan covered in blood.

Reminder that this was eight years ago before Flair married his fifth wife. Because he's totally fine.

Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.
What was up with Piper/Hogan at Starrcade being non-title? Was that known before the match? Did they pull a Halloween Havoc '95 and retroactively screw Piper in order to have a happy ending but not give him the belt? Did they pull a Summerslam '93 and expect you to be a loving moron and/or child who didn't exert any kind of brain activity when watching their show?

This article seems to put all the blame of everything Flair went through on Flair.
Which given what we know about his relationship with WCW is probably not fair.

But even if you're being fair, Ric Flair is Peter Pan but this isn't Neverland.

Every once in a while I'm reminded of that Disturbed song and that the lyrics sounded like "Step off 'cause you're the next woman I'm gonna kill you don't believe it but I'm betting that you will"

And I'm pretty sure the chorus is "I'M KILLING THE LIVING INSIDE YOU" which is loving embarrassing.

Step up! Cause you're the next one in line for the kill. You don't believe me but I'm betting that you will.
Step up! I'll let you live a little bit with the pain that I bring. You know it's only the beginning.
I'm breaking the limit inside you, stop begging someone to hide you.

When Flair left WCW with the belt, didn't the court rule that because he had put down collateral on it (I want to say it was $20-40,000) they had to either give him his money or give up the belt?

I think it was just some Hogan bullshit. That was the first ppv I watched the build to and was invested in and I totally assumed it was for the title and was really upset when Piper didn't get the belt.

When Sid had his “winning streak” during the Goldberg feud was it played up seriously or tongue in cheek?

Back in the day, the NWA Champion was required to put a deposit down ($25, 000.00) on the belt, to keep them from scampering off with the title. The money was basically put into an account, earning interest, and when the champ lost, he got his money back and then some. Since Flair never lost the title for any extended period of time in the 80s (his longest time without the belt was 6 months), he never bothered to ask for his deposit back, since he knew he was getting the title back.

Flash forward to 1991, when Flair had a falling out with WCW because of Jim Herd. Jim demanded he lose the belt, Flair said no, so Herd told him to hand over the belt. Flair said he could have the belt when Herd gave him his $25, 000 + interest. Herd told Flair "gently caress you", so Flair called Vince, and told him he was coming to the WWF, and he was bringing the belt with him, since Flair considered it his property, because he didn't get his money back for it.

That led to the whole "Real World's Champion" angle on WWF TV, with Heenan showing the belt. WCW then took the WWF to court over the matter, claiming copyright infringement or some such thing. The WWF had to take the belt off TV during the hearing, so they had Flair wear one of Tag Team belts, which they digitally obscured. Though it was obvious that that was what he was wearing.

The judge ruled in WCW's favor, and that the belt was a symbol of the company, to which the WWF had to return it. I think Flair got his money back as a result, but I'm not entirely sure.

what you know (NOT incorrect - was changed later)
baby you know you're judas and i'm your priest

I may be giving WCW too much credit, but I believe it was supposed to be comical. They misspelled "millennium" the entire time, and they would do things like have Sid appear on Nitro with 33-0 and then on Thunder with 37-0 even though he only had one victory in between, and Heenan would say "That's because he beat three people up in the back before he came out here tonight!"

It's a fun, compact show that looks and feels unlike anything else out there. The wrestling itself is mostly solid but not amazing, but they have some really excellent and charismatic talkers there and they let them improv pretty much everything as far as I've understood. Give the first episode a watch and see if you like it!

Watch the first episode for sure, if you don't like that you won't like the show in general. Second episode was kinda weak but the third episode was a ton of fun, I legit look forward to watching the NWA every week at the moment and it's a weird and alien sensation.

It blows my mind that the NWA still exists as an entity and now has a TV show of some kind?

Not as much as the fact that TNA still exists.
