Tank Abbott, was he a good idea for WCW?

Originally Posted by Rollermacka I will have to agree to disagree with you about those things.

KISS was always a very entertaing act, but WCW promised them more they they should have and it ended up being another wash. I mean look at what the WWE is doing now, they had ZZ Top, and Shaq Fu as hosts. Is it any better?

Bringing in guys like Shaq and ZZ Top is different than bringing in No Limit as Shaq and hosts are ment only as a one time appearence. WCW was bringing in celebrities and writing long term angles around them. Also, Tank Abbott wasn't exactly dominating in the UFC as Shamrock and Severn were. Shanrock and Severn had wrestling backgrounds. Shamrock was a pro wrestler before going to the UFC in the first place.

I guess that's one of the diffrences. I think that it was cool to see Vampiro with The Misfits, and Vampiro with the ICP (I'm sensing a connection here between Vampiro + Rockers= Good). Master P or any of the rappers didnt actually wrestle, do you think that if WCW had taken it in another direction besides feuding with contry music they could have been over. I mean it was mostly Rey and Konnan doing what they always did just this time with SWOLL 4X4 and Chase behind them saying Hootie Hoo.
