Thauros posted:I don't pay as much attention to the WWE's financials as you or many other people on here, but I thought that outside of WrestleMania their business had declind to the point where they'd potentially be in a very precarious position of their proposed network launched and failed, unlike previous expensive failures like the WBF and the XFL which they were able to swallow more easily due to being healthier at the time? If that were true and they were in that precarious a situation then they were doubly stupid to let Linda run a second time.

Rad R. posted:Every now and then the dirtsheets post news about the WWE doing things 'on the fly', especially with Raw, which often changes stories hours before the show. Didn't they add John Cena to the Survivor Series main event, and change SS teams as well? WCW didn't even have a standing point like WrestleMania. Starrcade was their WrestleMania.

bartok posted:What is the story behind Tony Schiavone and Bobby Heenan not getting along? From his book Tony was a raging dick to him. Tony would find out finishes and angles ahead of time and refuse to tell him what was going on so Tony could look better. Tony demanded that his chair had to be the highest of the announcers because he was more important. Tony told Bischoff and Russo to ignore Heenan's advice on angles and other things despite his long record int he business.

Paper Jam Dipper posted:Seeing as Austin wasn't known for black boots and black trunks until 1996, yes. Other hits included on this album are: - Ted Turner is bribing the Nielsen people to say WCW has higher ratings - More WWF fans have parties to watch Raw so there are more people watching on fewer tv sets

ColonelJohnMatrix posted:I started to post about this in the Rumble thread but I figure it's correct to put it here.... This resulted in WCW panicking because Hall and Nash had only signed an MOU (memo of understanding) instead of a contract and they offered them $400,000 each per year to sign a contract.

Retail Slave posted:What could have been if Buff Bagwell and Booker T hadn't stunk up the joint back on that one Raw. That was what truly ended WCW. Vince just decided the WCW brand wasn't worth it after that suck-fest. Why are my fellow Tacoma fans blamed when Vince could have waited a week and done that in Atlanta?

LividLiquid posted:Vince had the option of buying out those contracts. He chose instead to offer guys pennies on the dollar to come work instead of making the whole dollars to sit at home doing nothing. We could have had a proper invasion but the money was better spent on the Debbie Reynolds hotel in Vegas that they never renovated, WWE New York and the XFL.

MassRayPer posted:I doubt it was literally at gun point, but everyone there would know they had no choice but to go. Hell, it's worse in a way since it everyone going would know they better go and look good or they might end up moved to the countryside or in a concentration camp. The people with the best family background and service to the party get to live in and around Pyongyang, and would be the ones who would attend these shows. They want the event to have propaganda value, so the best fed, best dressed juche believing folk will get the wonderful opportunity to go! Although not in the same ballpark Vince used to force employees to stay late to be the audience while filming Prime Time Wrestling.
