The Undertaker wrestled under "Mean Mark" for the WCW in 1989 and Teddy Long was his manager?!?

Edit: oh wait this episode is from 1990. poo poo. My exclamation still stands

Edit2: I'm up to WrestleWar '89. Great Muta shpuld have been a heavyweight title contender.

Great Muta fact: Hes on excursion at this time to season him up for his big heavyweight run for his home company NJPW. NJPW and WCW work together a lot in the 90s and you will see a few split shows run between them.

Great Muta is my favorite wrestler and i do the Muta mist throat pinch to taunt my friends more than an adult should.

Its prety much the horsemen and black scorpion iirc. 90 and 91 were just creativly bad years too so that didnt help him.

i think a half dozen different people? After George Scott, Flair is booking his own stuff because at this point he is untouchable due to being Ted Turners favorite wrestler. There is a committee with JR, Eddie Gilbert, Ole Anderson, Kevin Sullivan, and maybe cornette booking everything else. Then it's Ole and Dusty in "charge" from 90-91 but the people afore mentioned all have varring input. I dont remember if watts and frey did any booking while they were in charge of the company. Its very muddy and confusing

i wanna say it boils down to politics and the guys were just behind the ball in terms of wrestling. They were still doing things the 1970s nwa way. Jim Heard also hated the number one star of wcw Ric Flair, thought he was an old bastard. JR and others agreed and this struggle eventually leads to flair going to the wwf. This also created camps and these camps just burryed each other.
