Scott Stiner supposedly said that the WWE wanted to give him a drug test when he was there around 2003-2004ish. He said he'd gladly take a drug test if Triple H took one with him. The issue was dropped.

I think the timeline is something like this: -Fall 1999 Triple H gives steph date rape drugs and marries her -Fall 1999 Steph hate Triple H -Armageddon 1999, Steph Turns on Vince and Mcmahon/Helmsly era takes place in early 2000 -Fall 2000ish some sort of love triangle between HHH, Kurt Angle, and Steph -Late 2000/early 2001 They're both around but not really in a program together -Spring 2001 Triple H blows quad -Spring 2001 Steph is the owner of ECW, is fired by Vince at the conclusion of the storyline. -January 2002 Triple H returns, Steph kayfabe uses the fact that he's her husband to get back on tv. She acts like a bitch, explains that it's because she's pregnet, Trips agrees to renew wedding vows, she revieals she's not pregnet. They decide to get divorced which results in a long drawn out fued leading up to wrestlemaina that fucks up Jericho's title run. -Triple H wins some match that gets Steph banned from the WWE. After that it seems like they're a happy husband a wife again. No explaintion was given for what happened to their kayfabe divorce as far as I know.

I'm pretty sure that Ultimate Warrior was never a heel. At least under the Ultimate Warrior name. Were Honky Tonk Man or Ted Debiase ever faces in the WWE? Zack_Gochuck fucked around with this message at 13:19 on Aug 20, 2009 |

I'm not sure when it was dropped, but it is indeed true. He would ramble about reclaiming his birthright and whatnot in his promos against Hogan. I believe Bash at the Beach 1996 in particular had one these promos, but I don't think it lasted very far into the nWo era.

sportsgenius86 posted:Undertaker could leave, join Oprah's book club, be the sidekick to Carson Daly on Last Call and marry Rachael Ray and he'd STILL be welcomed back with open arms. Did anyone backstage hate Sting in the WCW days? I always thought of him as WCWs Undertaker. He was with them through thick and thin, and all kinds of bullshit.

Minges posted:Ok, I'll bite. I was a little Stinger growing up and I still want an example for every year after 1995. I don't buy it. Even though the payoff sucked, the buildup to Starcade 1997 was amazing at the time, and was one of the few times in the modern era that a feud was given a proper amount of time to build to the boiling point. He deserves props for 1996/1997 alone for that build up, because it was all about the Stinger.

quote:"WCW.com ran a contest involving Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair. I'm actually not sure what the contest was for. Anyway, we got numerous reports from people who said that if you vote for Flair, the total number for Hogan automatically increases by five." I totally remember the promo that this led up to. It involved Flair knee dropping a copy of WCW magazine.

All the copies of the Rise and Fall of WCW were rented out, so I rented the Starrcade DVD instead. It started off strong, with these detailed accounts of the 1980s Starrcades, then they just kind of glossed over the 90s and 2000/01. I was pretty disappointed, to be honest. Does anyone think there's any chance of the WWE releasing a complete Starrcade collection like they did with some of the WWE Pay Per Views?

Specifically, the 1993 King of the Ring has a good example of the metal elbow gimmick. One of his strong punches in WWF wrestlemania the arcade game actually consisted of his elbow turning into a steel beam. Zack_Gochuck fucked around with this message at 13:06 on Sep 3, 2009 |

KungFu Grip posted:The Dudleys got pissed once they found out they didn't own those names. Then they went and shitted all over the WWE any chance they got. This has probably been discussed before, but how did this work, exactly? When they jumped from ECW to WWF the first time around the used the Dudley name, indicating that it wasn't copyrighted by ECW, it certianally wouldn't have been copyrighted by the WWF at that time either. How could the WWF magically get the rights to the name after they bought ECW? Furthermore, isn't that kind of admitting that they comitted copyright infringement against ECW from 1999 to early 2001?

Hudson posted:And it's such a retarded angle too. What makes it worse than any other finishing move? If I had a choice of taking a finishing move, I would rather be power bombed on my back than have say Macho Man plant his elbow into the center of my chest from the top rope. Flair actually outlawed the top rope elbow in 1999 after he had won control of WCW, and got out of a mental institution, because Macho Man sent Charles Robinson to the hospital (Kayfabe) with it.

Oh no. You did not just call the Rock, Austin, Benoit, and Angle bad workers. They were all light-years ahead of hogan. Guys like Kevin Nash, and Lex Lugar are more like Hogan with regards to in ring work.

Axissillian posted:They tried to fight legally but they couldn't because they didn't own the name. ECW did and WWE acquired the intellectual property when they bought ECW. I know that this was gone over earlier in the thread, but what about the period of time that the Dudley's were in the WWF wile ECW was still open? I was going to post what someone told me earlier, but I forget.

Honestly, I don't think that WCW become unredeemably terrible until 1999. There were snafus, sure, but it was still generally worth watching in 1998/early 99.

Captain Charisma posted:ECW was never going to succeed but it's amazing how they pretty much set it up to fail immediately. I don't know if you're being facetious or not, but in all seriousness, I did read rumors on the internet that the WWE was purposely booking crappy ECW shows in the beginning to justify switching it to the more traditional WWE style it uses now.

AKA Driver posted:Is there a specific reason the WWE is doubling up Smackdown vs. Raw 2010 as a PPV sponsor? Do you think it's worrisome that zero sponsors stepped up to get a product into this PPV, despite it being directly before Christmas, to the point where the WWE just said "gently caress it, we'll publicize our own game. Again." According to that list they've had more sponsors throughout the course of 2009 than 2008, they just used Smackdown vs. Raw an extra time.. What are you even talking about?

When you guys talk about the Bret Hart turnbuckle bump, do you mean when he goes for the bulldog, and his opponent reverses it by throwing him sternum first into the corner? I would find it hard to believe that no one did that until Bret started wrestling.
