I'm reading The Death of WCW right now, and I've just been cracking up at how absolutely ridiculous everything turned out. Some of the stuff I remember, but some of the stuff I either forgot or never saw. Use this thread to post anything you remember about WCW. Good, bad, whatever. Your favorite stuff. Your least favorite stuff. Pictures. Just anything.

I'll start us off with this picture of one of WCW's finest talents ever, "Lightning Foot" Jerry Flynn.

I had stopped watching by 99, it was just to bad by then to weekly subject myself to it.

I was always more of a WWF fan far and away, and I usually only watched the first hour of Nitro unless I was up for the replay, but I still have some pretty fond memories.

Remember whenever somebody tried to powerbomb Billy Kidman, he would flip out of it and drive their face into the mat? Well check this...

At a house show once, I ended up with 2nd row tickets. The match was Chris Benoit v. Billy Kidman. The entire match, I kept yelling "DO NOT POWERBOMB KIDMAN! HE WILL REVERSE IT! DO NOT POWERBOMB KIDMAN!". They obviously heard me from the second row. Benoit sets Kidman up for a powerbomb, and I scream "NOOOOOOOOOO!". Benoit looks RIGHT AT ME, then goes to powerbomb Kidman...and succeeds. Kidman didn't flip out or anything.

I thought that was pretty awesome. That spot had to be JUST for me.

I forget exactly but I know him and someone else from the Howard Stern Show were judging some contest. Early on Kevin Nash and the Natural Born Thrillers ran into him backstage and Kevin Nash told him "Hey Elix, how's it goin."

Later on Jarrett ran into him and made fun of him, Beetlejuice calls Jarret Slap Nuts, Jarrett broke a guitar over his head, main event (I think Steiner vs DDP) was a hardcore match, Beetlejuice popped out of one of the garbage cans and cost Steiner the match. Steiner got mad and beat up DDP and put Beetlejuice in the Recliner to close Nitro for that week.

Well first of all, he was a part of The Kliq, therefore he automatically gets a free pass to the front of the line in my book, but beyond that; he's an awesome talent. His matches with Eddie in WCW was wonderful...his 1-2-3 Kid character, while bring very one sided, was fun for me growing up...and more than most I credit him with the movement that allowed many fans to accept a smaller workers. Sure Rey and Juvi and Kidman got them massively popular, but it was Waltman who put the 220 and under wrestler on the map.

Outsider

08-19-2007, 08:01 PM

From about October 99 I didn't have Sky Sports so couldn't watch WWE so watched WCW instead. I prefered WCW at the time simply because it was unpreditable. What happened didn't always make sense but you didn't really know what was going to happen next.

At the time WWF was simply pushing the Rock and Austin so far down peoples throats, and I never really liked either of them. Meanwhile WCW had a array of good talent and people who could actually wrestle. I was lucky that I started watching when Hogan had little time left so I never really found his dominance to be a problem as there wasn't much of it.

Anyway, I would rather watch endless hours of WCW circa 2000 than a single John Cena or Batista match.
