Kane lived near me at that time.

A excerpt from 'The Death of WCW' by RD Reynolds and Bryan Alvarez on how much Vince McMahon purchased WCW for.

"And with the price coming down from the $500 million (yes, five hundred million dollars) Time Warner had rejected a year earlier to less than $3 million with no other buyers on the horizon"


Vince bought WCW for $3 million. Nice!

[Wolfpack423]

I love the fact that I know this one:

I definitely remember the Nash, Hart, Steiner, Luger and HHH ones, but when did Booker T beat him? That's the only one I can't remember. Was this when Booker T was WCW Champion?

Justin Credible was the 1st and only member of the Kliq to be of Portuguese descent (basis for his Man of War character) and the only one to wear a mask that looked like a jock-strap or underwear with holes (once again the Man of War character).

Scott Hall was responsible for both X-Pac and Justin Credible becoming members of the Kliq when others in the group didn't want them such as HBK.

THQ once had in its contract with the WWE that only Triple H could never be shown getting beaten up in any video of screen shot of a WWF/WWE game they worked on.

The Rock's custom Brahma Bull belt never appeared on tv due to getting lost in the mail while the one The Rock actually owns is a replica of the original.

[Rammsteinmad]

LOL epic fail for HBK. Now HHH is married to Stephanie, is going to take over the WWE at some point, and has more money than Shawn.

I mean, HBK had an AWESOME career, was better in the ring than HHH ever was, but still, damn...

[Shadrick]

I'm sure HBK doesn't consider a fail in the slightest bit and has actually said Hunter is the only guy that would be "good enough" for Steph....

Anyways, Kofi IS from Ghana, but moved to Massachusetts when he was 2 or 3. He was born in Ghana.

twas Smash but yeah, love this, was one of the "facts" on the bottom of the screen on one of the Legends of Wrestling roundtable gimmicks. Hennig, Rick Rude, Darsow/Smash, Tom Zenk and Koloff as well as John Nord/The Berzerker and Brady Boone/Battle Kat all graduated from the same high school within 2 years of each other (Hennig, Rude, Zenk and Boone graduating in the same year/class) Verne Gagne attended the same high school also. Absolutely mental.

[Emperor Smeat]

WCW once spent $500,000 just on the entrance setup for Glacier which they only used a couple of times due to them loosing interest in him and the high costs.

If it wasn't for a last minute switch and focus to Hogan, the NwO wouldn't have debuted at Bash at the Beach because initial plans were for Glacier's debut to be the main thing for the show. He also ended up being the 1st victim of the NwO due to WCW dropping all plans for him once the NwO took off and then killing his push weeks into his debut.

I was roomates with Henry O Godwin's son for a short time. Nice guy, never got to meet his dad though :(
