What do you miss about WCW?
 
The reason I dont like ECW on Scfi is because they dont have any of the things that the original ECW make great. The high flying Luchadors, the sucicidal risks, the hardcore matches period are all gone. What are some aspects of WCW did you really like and miss? What are some things you'd like to see come back? I miss the crusierweight division from WCW. The matches between Kaz Hayashi, Evan Karagias and Shane Helms always entertained and I think that a crusierweight tag team divison was kinda far streached but I'd like to see more high flying tag teams. Which brings me to my next thing which is I want to see more accomplishing tag teams in the WWE. I dont mean stick miz and morrison together to beat champs the rivals MVP and Matt but to make a tag team like Jinjrak and O' Hare, Styles and Air Paris or Kronik (who actually elimated each other at diffrent Royal rumble matches) or get accomplished tag teams like the Stiener Bros, or LOD (maybe Vice can call Animal and Bryan Clark and make a super tag team :shifty:) and have them wrestle in a division and make tag team wrestleing mean something. What else do you miss about WCW?

The only thing I miss about WCW is it had a habit of putting Vince in check, where he HAD to pull out his best stuff and put on a hell of a show. Since he's the only dog in the yard now he can shit all over the place now.

Cruisers had a spot on the card.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not pulling for cruiserweights to dominate the big guys, but the CW title was used frequently, and mattered about as much as any undercard title can be expected to. It allowed me to get my fix of weekly athleticism before watching the soap operas...

Competition: because it kept Vince in line.

Variety: Because if one bored me on Monday Night, I could switch to the other and had a decent shot at being entertained.

Fox 03-25-2008 10:39 PM

I miss seeing stars like Nash, Hogan, Flair, Sting, Goldberg, DDP, the Steiners, and others wrestle each other every monday night.

I miss the awesome cruiserweight matches.

I miss Diamond Dallas Page, the People's Champion.

More than anything I just miss the incredible pomp and overblown atmosphere of Monday Nitro.

Where's Know Your Role when you need him?

Fox 03-25-2008 10:43 PM

DDP was People's Champ first.

FourFifty 03-25-2008 10:46 PM

Ask any casual fan who the people's champ was, and they'll give you the same answer.

No one that does yoga could be the "People's" anything.

Bad Company 03-25-2008 11:03 PM

Because I liked it better than the WWF :(
They actually had an undercard.

dablackguy 03-25-2008 11:07 PM

Top to bottom it was a better show

dablackguy 03-25-2008 11:07 PM

Well... BEFORE Vince Russo came along

Halbowsky 03-25-2008 11:10 PM

War Games...and I don't mean this Lethal Lockdown we have now

dablackguy 03-25-2008 11:14 PM

War games was THE SHIT

Road Warrior 03-26-2008 09:22 AM

A Tag team divison, crusier weights, "gang warfare"

Outsider 03-26-2008 09:52 AM

I miss the chance that someone unexpected will show up on a show. Nothing can shock anymore.

While it wasn't true in the 90s, by the end of WCW they were letting a lot of their talent rise to the surface.

Their commentators were better.

Their wrestlers were actually over with the crowd who turned up.

Thuder was a B show, but at least it you knew it was a B show.

- How over DDP was and should've had the title sometime in '98
- The Crow Sting character and every fucking thing about him
- nWo late '96-'97
- Macho Man's 'madness' character
- Alex Wright's cocky dance
- Jericho v. Cruiserweights
- Fall Brawl/War Games
- Bobby Heenan & Tony S. commentary
- Eddie G.
- Booker T (very underrated in WCW during the TV title days)
- TV title when it was at its peak
- Nitro when it was at the beach/poolside

BigDaddyCool 03-26-2008 12:29 PM

all the crazy shit...then again TNA does much more crazy shit.

Kalyx triaD 03-26-2008 12:38 PM

Any company that has Silk the Shocker in an angle and gives David Arquette a World Title doesn't deserve to die.

Stickman 03-26-2008 02:10 PM

NWO
Horsemen
Something different.

Rammsteinmad 03-26-2008 02:49 PM

Pretty much everything that's already been said.

Also, O'Haire getting a good push. :(

Fox 03-26-2008 03:43 PM

Also, Blitzkrieg.

Hanso Amore 03-26-2008 05:21 PM

Sweet Video Games with Foreign wrestlers with fake names.

Johnny Vegas 03-26-2008 05:39 PM

WCW had some good camera work with entrances too

For the record Sean O'Haire was never pinned, nor did he ever submit in a one-on-one match on WWE tv or internet shows.

Destor 03-26-2008 07:13 PM

DDP is the correct answer

Mooияakeя™ 03-26-2008 07:18 PM

The rivalry. At the peak of the wars, both companies were doing anything. Wrestling was outrageous compared to now. bumps, decent angles, mid carders we gave a fuck about. It's like there were mini-plots all over the place. When Vince took everything over. It was the end. But hey, at least there is 1... no 0.06% of a chance that something may come of TNA or at least start taxing WWE's minds more to do something better.

I'd really like to see another company get a decent TV deal. Over here it's useless, Bravo "does it's best" but that it. If some wrestling promotion got it's foot in the door. With the right guidance (no Hogan's please ffs) it could make good TV and if there's a decent alternative, maybe people will finally "fuck WWE off". I admit, I watch it more now that i did a year ago. But it's still nout special really.

I'm here and WTF????? :wtf:

Now NORMALLY I have a lot of time for the Fox, but you've over-stepped the mark here.

When I think of the People's Champion, I DON'T think of DDP coming down to the ring inhaling the electricity of the millions, AND I MEAN MILLIONS, of The Rock's fans and whipping every roodi-poodi, candy-assed Jabroni all the way back to the Smackdown Hotel on Know Your Role Boulevarde.

OK. Enough cliches there for you FoFiddy?

Oh. And what do I miss most from WCW...one word...Bischoff

SammyG 03-27-2008 03:14 AM

Lara Emily 03-27-2008 04:02 AM

They had actually had and somewhat care about their midcard.

DRBailey 03-27-2008 06:52 AM

Tony Schiavone overhyping everything.

LA PARKA!

The threat that someone would turn up on either show unannounced

Loose Cannon 03-27-2008 09:36 AM

there's about a hundred things I could list off, but the important ones were listed in this thread. They put on a great show and even when the show was at it's worst, I'd still take that over today's wrestling.

Wow. 6-0 in the WWE then!

How the hell do you know that anyway?

Mr. Nerfect 03-27-2008 11:55 AM

The way they tended to treat their mid-card acts with time and respect. Chris Jericho was a fantastic heel in WCW, and Diamond Dallas Page was a fantastic face. The whole competition aspect was great, too. And Disco Inferno's music.

Jordan 03-27-2008 03:41 PM

I liked that they used some wrestlers better than WWE did... I loved Lance Storm in WCW, he was used to his full potential I think. I really liked Bam Bam vs Goldberg although it never really went anywhere... I actually really liked WCW when Russo first came in, until the David Arquette stuff. He was using a lot of new ideas and good wrestlers, some from ECW like Candido, EZ Money, I really liked that a lot. I really liked the cruiserweight division, always it was always pretty good.
