Is this where we get a feud over who gets to have "T" in their name or was that always a rumor

It was technically a feud over the intellectual property of Harlem Heat including the name, music, and letter T between Booker T and Harlem Heat 2000.

I love that even after Russo they can't book a good show to save their lives. Like even the interim between Bischoff and Russo was just dull.

There was really something terminal in the culture at WCW. It wasn't just who was at the helm.

They sent Russo home like 3 days before the PPV.

I'm pretty sure that Tank vs Big Al is an jacket vs beard apuestas match

also Big Al said that he could rip that jacket off Tank's back, so it's going to naturally be a jacket on a pole match.

At this point in WCW, Jericho is gone, Eddie is gone, Malenko is gone, Rey is injured, so your only option outside of the luchadors is like uh, 3 Count, Chavo, or Disco.

quote:

They cut to live where the New Blood with Arquette came out. Bischoff, clearly feeling the heat of the criticism of Arquette and the ratings, attempted to portray it as if they had this angle planned long in advance by showing back footage. Unfortunately, because they didn't, none of this made sense. If the idea was to get the belt back from Page by using Arquette, why would Page win the belt due to Arquette in the first place? If Abbott laid down in a fake fight to Arquette to fool Page, why did he lay down for Page's finisher unless Page was also in cahoots with the entire plan. I guess they realized how badly they hurt the angle for Goldberg's return so it was important to rebuild Abbott.

fun observer notes from this week's show

-Van Hammer was released
-Russo is forcing Kanyon to do the DDP imprrsonation gimmick at this point and Kanyon is trying to leave
-They actually did shoot an entire Russo interview for Thunder and WCW Legal legitimately killed it because of his comments on the Hogan lawsuit
-Despite the interview being pulled well in advance, they continued to advertise it up to the point where it was to be aired then said"Whoops, well have to try it again on Nitro"
-Reno debuted
-A second interview with Russo was done which didn't piss off WCW Legal. In it, Russo went on a rant about how he was bringing Starrcade to Long Island and would hire John Rocker so he could beat his rear end for the NY crowd. Starrcade 2000 was already booked for and took place at the MCI Center in Washington DC.
-Russo also promised WCW would be where it needed to be in 10 months (June 2001)
-Eric Bischoff is trying to sell Fox on a show combining demolition derby and pro wrestling.

I gotta say these past few weeks have been rough- the show is at a point now where just nothing matters and it lacks even the lunacy that made Russo's first trainwreck of a run fascinating.

But I'm in it for New Blood Rising.

Also in cost saving matters everyone is getting cut and they refuse to bring DDP back as he's too old looking.

How many times did they send Russo home?

Twice.

He was sent home in January 2000 because while his booking wasn't working and numbers were going down, he then tried to get Tank Abbott crowned as WCW champion after Jeff Jarrett got concussed by Jimmy Snuka on the build to Souled Out. (Which itself led to Benoit and others leaving or try ing to leave)


Then he got brought back in April with Bischoff. Russo ended up dominating more of the booking.

Bischoff and Russo didn't coexist well, and each basically left. Bischoff completely disappeared off of TV after Bash at the Beach. Russo took time off before then, but came back after being gone for a week or two and stayed on through October when they finally sent him home for good. (After he booked himself to win the title and got concussions)

You forgot that the referee who counted the pinfall in the 4-Way of the Tag Title match was actually a member of a stable that featured one of the teams in the match...but weren't in deciding the pinfall.
Meaning he counted the pinfall in favor of his stable-mates' opponents and cost them the title.
This was not a swerve nor turn, but played straight.

also Muta actually did run oiut for some reason during the 4 way, didn't really do much of anything which is why the championship tag match was set up so the Dark Carnival could win

So uh, what happens when Tuesday Nitro runs out of WCW to watch? Are y'all gonna just restart from the beginning and go in a loop, or maybe change gears to ECW or Attitude-era WWF or something, or just axe the project entirely after the Final Nitro?

I realize this is sort of an "elephant in the living room that nobody wants to talk about" question, but... if y'all are at New Blood Rising, we're getting pretty close to the end.

e: I guess now that I think about it, there's also the Invasion to watch after the Final Nitro before you can really completely stick a fork in WCW.
