I remember reading there was some strange commentary rules for the announcers especially in regards to foreign objects in wcw. What was the weird wording they used? Or am I crazy.

Does anyone know when they announced the second 89 steamboat flair match would be 2 out of 3 falls? Ive been watching the tv promos and segments after the first match but I never heard anything about the stip and neither have mentioned it. Maybe its on an ep I can't find online or possibly a house show.

So there isn't like a general classic wrestling thread, is there? I'd almost be tempted to start one since I'm sure I'm not alone in the ranks of people who'd love to watch, request, and recommend classic angles, matches, and feuds.

This post is at least still tangentially related to WCW though because part of what I'm enoying about Memphis wrestling is a man important to both it, WWF, and WCW
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3WwqXTfAm4

Bobby Heenan seems to be mostly regarded as the greatest manager of all time. with people like Heyman or Cornette after him. But I found a random interview from Jacques Rougeau the other day and, funnily enough, he is talking about how Jimmy Hart is the greatest wrestling manager of all time. Just feels like his greatest work isn't as well known to a lot of people. But I'm loving him.

I started a territory thread but its dead so make one, I watch old wresting still.

Jimmy is as good as Heenan to me. Mostly because this song lives in my brain

The World Championship Wrestling show that premiers in 1985 is head and shoulders above the wide world of wrestling and mid-atlantic show.

David Crockett is a terrible announcer.

Edit: the 2nd iteration of the Minnesota Wrecking Crew is also insanely racist. The amount of racist poo poo the Anderson say to the Raging Bull and Thunderbolt is insane.

it sucks watching old jcp or Memphis and all of a sudden its time for the most obscure southern slurs block.

I know who Jerry "The King" Lawler the announcer is, but not his wrestler side. I absolutely do not know who Jimmy Hart, but googling I recognize his picture. I might eventually get into WWF stuff, but right now I'm just watching WCW.

There’s a comic store in a small Okanagan town that I’ve gone to every summer vacation for the last 20-something years. The first time I ever went there (so ~1999) they had a set of WCW Matchbox cars for sale, specifically Raven, Glacier and (for a time) Kevin Nash. I don’t know the last time I saw the Kevin Nash car, it was at least ten years ago, but that Raven car and that Glacier car did not move.

For the first ten years or so it was something I ignored, every year I knew they would be there and every year when I went inside, there they were.

About 5 years ago I decided “No, this year is the year. This is the year i buy the Glacier Car and the Raven Car”. What better home could they have? But every year i went in to that store, for some reason, it felt like a challenge. “Well they’re still here this year, maybe they’ll still be here next year?”

So I pushed it. Every year I went into that store and those stupid WCW cars were there it was like a comfort blanket, over the years multiple friends and lovers had come and gone, but every year, no matter what, Glacier and Raven were there.

Until the summer of 2022

Last vacation I walked in that store, a few things had changed or moved around. There were less comics, the back issues were gone, in their place a bunch of board games that I guess people play.

But in that back section, sandwiched in between the old Spawn toys and Star Wars, there was a void.

They were gone




I now, truly, know the meaning of the word regret.

You snooze you lose op
*crashes my raven car into my glacier car with glee*
