Aku posted:There was footage of Warrior and Hogan making peace a day or two before Warrior’s death as well. Warrior laid out all of his grievances and Hogan stood there agreeing with a lot of it and they eventually hugged it out; I wish I could find that video but hopefully someone else had to have seen it too. Also, in that jncos pic I never noticed he was out in public wearing a t-shirt his Fall Brawl match like a fuckin' dork.

I've been slowly making my way to the 2nd Crockett Cup. The 2nd iteration of the 4 horsemen felt forced. Luger while very imposing is not a very good wrestler and is super stiff in promos. Ollie's anti-hero face turn is weird, but funny. The Garvin face fire was an oh poo poo moment. The gorgeous face turn was a long time coming. Cornette, midnight express, and big bubba are always a treat. The semi-sideling of dusty, Nikita, and rock-n-roll express is weird. Lmao at raging bull and Rick rude being tag team champions. I like the Armstrongs. A number of wrestlers just aren't around much, but cut minute promos and it is weird. Flair is flair and is a great heel. I don't see what people see in Windham. The loss of magnum is felt.

Wasn't Luger supposed to be the next big thing in wrestling in 1989 or whenever?

Luger is very weird as a wrestler as there are moments during his WCW run where if the company got behind him he could of been the top guy (they should of pulled the trigger on Luger in 90 whe Sting got hurt). But also when they did pull the trigger it just didn't work out cause Luger either wasn't motivated or was in an impossible situation (see when Flair left/was fired)

Windham was loving awesome for a couple of years there, but he had a lot of trouble staying motivated and once he wasn't hurting for money anymore he pretty much stopped caring. Luger's motivation problems were even worse and it seemed like he actively hated wrestling most of the time.

Seems weird leaving a gig of the #1 heel tag team. Edit: I liked the Nikita face turn at the beginning, but they have turned him into a jobber at this point. He is in that weird dusty zone were you are a top face, but aren't allowed to win and need to be constantly beaten up by foes Mr Hootington fucked around with this message at 17:27 on May 16, 2023 |

Mr Hootington posted:Does he ever come back? It is so weird that this happens with wrestlers regularly during this era Cornette has said it was a personal issue for Dennis, but won't elaborate on what. And yeah he came back for a bit as one half of the Original Midnight Express, but that didn't last long because the bookers understandably didn't trust him given how he'd left before. Plus they hated Paul E., also for understandable reasons. Stan ended up with Bobby after a singles stint in Florida, and he had a really good tag team pedigree from being one of the Fabulous Ones, so he was a good replacement. Cornette originally wanted Dr. Tom Pritchard to replace Dennis, which wouldn't have been as good.

Luger didn't work out because not those reasons, shut up, Hogan never exercised creative control. That Nitro Book had Eric saying Sting was going through some major personal problems at the time. I think I heard elsewhere that Sting found Jesus and then told his wife everything that goes on when wrestlers are on the road and caused a ton of issues for other wrestlers and their wives. Was this roughly the same time frame?

Shard posted:Luger was so over in 96 - 98 they really should have gone all in on him beating Hogan and winning the title It was such amazing, long-term storytelling, too. Luger was this heel nobody trusted except Sting. Sting was always on his side. Then the nWo, to cause division in their enemies, makes it looks like Sting is on their side. Despite all Sting had done for him, Lex doubted Sting and paid for it, being forced to quit and costing WCW. He had to earn his redemption, first by making Arn quit, then by proving he would trust Sting from now on, and finally by defeating Hogan and bringing the title back to WCW. All this over like two years. I never saw this kind of longevity in storytelling even when I liked WWF/E.
