Vince probably owns "Wolfpac" and as for "The Kliq" I'm not sure, maybe because Triple H and HBK are part of it too.

I remember Nash at some point saying "the band is back together," so it is probably a reference to that.

yea, The Band was referanced a lot when Bret joined the nWo in 2000 with Jarrett, Hall and Nash.

Well what about "The Outsiders" or put a "K" at the end of "wolfpac"

<font color=goldenrod>Couldn't Bret basically not even wrestle at this point? Think it was after the Goldberg kick, maybe the night after.</font>

They're calling it the Wolfpac now. At least that what it seems like as of last night. They even used the old Wolfpac theme, minus the lyrics (not a crappy cover but the actual instrumental). According to some news sites, WWE doesn't have a copyright on the Wolfpac name or theme, as it wasn't a part of the WCW buyout deal.

It was the night after, but Bret didn't know the extent of his concussion and post concussion injuries for about a couple weeks after the Goldberg kick.

On another note, pretty interesting to consider that because of the kick, Hart had to pull out of the upcoming PPV, leaving the world title vacant and effectively ending the nWo 2000 angle and months of main event storylines, causing Russo to pitch the idea of Tank Abbott becoming WCW Champ, which got him fired, which led to Kevin Sullivan being given booking duties, which led to Beniot, Malenko, Saturn, and Guerrero quitting WCW and the ratings for Nitro to go from pretty bad to absolutely horrible.

All from one careless Goldberg mule kick.

I hate Hall and Waltman no matter what they call themselves calling it 'the band' just makes me hate them even more if that's possible

What belt is Nash wearing/holding since if Bret was World champion, Hall as TV champion, and Jarrett as US champion (or swap around Hall's and Jarrett's titles) ?

Juan

Hall and Nash have the WCW tag titles, I believe.

Loose Cannon
03-22-2010, 09:25 PM
yea, Hall and Nash were tag. Jarrett was US

Emperor Smeat
03-22-2010, 09:44 PM
Oh makes sense since I thought I heard the announcer say US title and TV title which would have left just 1 belt after the World Title with Bret.

Booker and Bret had a nice series of matches.

Booker and Benoits Best of 7 Series was equally awesome.

WCW had a lot better quality matches than WWF at the time, IMO, just their booking was horrible; however, WWF had interesting storylines, without much in the ring to back up a lot of the stuff.

Basically the scenario they had been in all along; WWF winning in the entertainment department, and WCW winning in the actual in-ring product.

I wonder if Hogan has an issue with Jarrett doing the nWo without him..

That can't be what this is all about?

I still have the basic nwo black and red wolfpac shirt. I wore it to a WWE show a couple years ago.

it looks like they photoshopped WWF 1993 Lex Luger on to that Wolfpac shirt. I wouldn't put it past WCW to do that at that point though

One of the greatest lines in movie history. Pretty sure this is what Nash was referring to.
