Saw this in another forum - it's worth a read to have a laugh (or cry) if you've got nothing better to do. It actually shows what some of WCW's problems were, others are just hilarious
http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum...ad.php?t=23877 EDIT - found another with some more http://wrestlingclassics.com/.ubb/ul...c;f=7;t=000450 Just a selection below, if you want the general jist first; Quote #126 "Savage's girls seduced Savage. Stupid Nash jumped into the limo and they slammed the door. Savage drove it a few yards and jumped out and a Hummer ran into the limo. They spent $100,000 to get a 2.7 quarter" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: June 14, 1999 Quote #152 "The fans booed Hogan a lot. S(t)ing asked the fans if he should team with Hogan. They booed heavily. Sting, listening to the advice of the fans, then agreed to team with Hogan" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: August 02, 1999 Quote #161 "Miller was legitimately very upset at Bagwell for the promo were Bagwell acted like Miller, particularly feeling that the black face made it come across as racist" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: August 02, 1999 Quote #241 "Misterio beat Villano V. With Mike Tenay not out there, Tony Schiavone and Lee Marshall didn't know if it was Villano IV or Villano V. As if the roman numeral on the trunks isn't a dead giveaway" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: December 14, 1998 Quote:

I tracked it down. Had to download the whole Nitro episode and rip it out. Yeah three years later but I figured y'all would still want to see it. Uploaded it to youtube for ya, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCC8D2fDyl8 It's a gem, Bret has nothing to say and no reason to be out there but there he is. The promo is also longer than the Main Event(if you take out Buffer;'s intro), which came right after. The Main Event for this show was the big grudge match of Goldberg vs Bam Bam, They brought out Micheal Buffer he did the whole big main event spiel, Bam Bam runs out, Nash Runs out right after attacks Bam Bam, Goldberg then runs out fights both, ref calls for a no contest and security breaks it up, end of show. There was no main event lol, WCW pulled a no contest brawl finish before it even started, on a 3 hour show they gave the ME feud about 5 minutes and really after Buffer's intro it's 2 minutes lol. What a wreck BTW they spent the entire show hyping this big match (going as far to craft the storyline that Goldberg went tothe WCW championship committee and demanded that they give Bam Bam a one day contract for this match only, and how big of a deal this match was gonna be and how it was one of the biggest Main events in Nitro history in front of a record crowd at the astro dome) and yeah it never fucking started, and I read a report from someone who was at the show live and they didn't even run it as a Dark match or anything, Nash and Bam Bam left and Goldberg posed end of show lol.

"Chris Jericho's final WCW match was 7/21 in Peoria, IL in a tag match teaming with Eddie against Kidman and Mysterio. Before the match, Jericho said that if he got pinned he'd leave WCW. Misterio than said everyone already knew it was his last night in WCW. (After the match) all four hugged in the ring. There were fans in near tears, as was Jericho. Kidman started a Jericho chant. Jericho said that he was overwhelmed by the response, but he still thinks that Peoria sucks" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: August 02, 1999

"Scott Steiner showed up to plead guilty to terroristic threats. Paul Kaspereen, a worker with the Georgia Department of Transportation, was directing traffic and wouldn't let Steiner's car into a closed lane. Steiner climbed out of his truck and said "Move or I will run you over". Steiner got back in the car and drove it, hitting Kaspareen lightly. He then told him again to move or he'd run him over, and then hit him a second time. Steiner's attorney told the judge that he plead guilty only because he thought the jury might convict him because of his wrestling heel character" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: December 7, 1998

"Throughout the show, they (the NWO) were torturing Bret Hart. Nash was torturing Hart and in the background you could hear the director wrapping up the scene. The final scene saw Hart coming out with a pipe while covered in makeup to make it appear he'd been beaten up on. It was the same makeup they used for Arn Anderson, totally exposing that angle. Hart challenged the NWO guys to come out. Nash & Jarrett came out with bats. Then it got really silly. Hart was in a stand-off with Nash and Jarrett forever because Funk & Anderson arrived so late. Apparently live it was obvious Hart & Nash were having a hard time not laughing because the timing was so screwed up. Funk came out with a flaming branding iron and Anderson with a bucket of water. Anderson threw the bucket of water on Hart, with the idea that the makeup would run. The makeup didn't run, but the announcers had to sell that it did." - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: January 24, 2000.

"Russo then came out to confront Nash, and basically tried to take 100% of the credit for creating the 'Diesel' character that made Nash a star. Blood fell from the ceiling, most of which fell several feet to the side of Nash and much of which fell on front row spectators." - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: May 22, 2000

Quote #230
"It was apparent within five minutes that we can add color commentator to the list of things (wrestling, doing interviews and booking) that Kevin Nash can't handle. He started by saying that everyone said he was a bad booker but he was smart enough to book himself into a retirement angle so he doesn't have to take any bumps and still makes big money. He spent the rest of his show doing his 'I'm too cool for wrestling' gimmick, which would work if he was funny. Nash spent the rest of the show mocking Tenay's call of Duggan's finisher as the 'old glory' by calling Misterio's move an 'old glory huricanrana' and the like so many times that Tenay even told Nash he wore the joke out. Nash continued with the line the rest of the show" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: September 25, 1999 Take that The One |
