Why did Charles Robinson have a PPV match with Randy Savage's girlfriend? ...oh, right, WCW 1999.

How many times did WCW manage to injure people who really, really shouldn't have been in the ring and/or matches? Robinson, Russo, Orndorff in 2000, I think Jerry Only got injured in his match with Dr Death? It wouldn't surprise me if there were a number of valets on the list too (not counting Savage slapping the poo poo out of Torrie Wilson, lolol).

Jerry Only definitely got hurt, and I don't think either of ICP were wrestlers yet when Mike Awesome awesome bombed Shaggy and he slid off the drat bus.

ICP had already appeared in ECW and the WWF by the time that happened

Savage's hips were so bad that essentially it meant Lil' Naitch got the WHOLE elbow.

I almost called it a shoot elbow drop because thats effectively what it was and after what it did to Robinson, I've never questioned its legitimacy as a finisher again

And he didn't mean that in a food way. Maybe DDP's bandaged ribs were a shoot?

I really appreciate that the Z-Man cut a Z-shaped hole in his shirt. That's the bold kind of fashion choice kids these days could really learn from.

There were WWF episodes too. They were all bizarre train wrecks.

NikkolasKing posted:I was listening to some Bryan and Vinny Retro shows and Bryan says something like, in reference to a Sting/Luger video package, "And Luger won the title off Windham....and they hosed him that time, too! This poor guy." fyi this is how they screwed Luger best part is theres a later copy where they added a scroll announcing Flair was gone and it was Windham/Luger instead

Was that the one where Flair quit right before, taking the title with him because Jim Herd was being a fuckwit?

I was wondering why that particular show rang a bell. It's hard not to feel bad for the talent out there. They were absolutely on a hiding to nothing.

It felt especially bad for Luger, whom the fans were hot to be world champ... but they wanted him to beat Flair for it, not Barry.

Luger seems like a guy who had all the potential in the world - 10/10 look, charismatic, not a bad promo later on - and this was recognized by both WCW and WWF And yet they burned him. Bisch claimed in an old Wrestling Roundtable that everyone who got Luger was burned by him but it seems more like the promoters were the ones who hosed him over repeatedly. To quote Bryan again "this poor guy."

I love Lex, but he wasn't the only bad actor in these relationships.

Promoters also didn't like him because he had an agent negotiating his contracts from him.

JJ Dillon's real name being Jim Morrison is the biggest downgrade since Richard Blood went by Ricky Steamboat.
