WCW's greatest moments
I watched the Very best of WCW on Netflix and was impressed actually. Never watched WCW back in the day as I was all WWF. Post some video's of their greatest moments in here guys so I can come to appreciate them more. Would love some NWO moments and Sting moments.
P.S. After watching some Sting promo's I love the man |

Filled with nWo as well as Sting and other bits, only gotten as far as December 96 though so far. Still plenty there until you get more responses in here though. |

I believe the Netflix version is missing a bunch of stuff. So if you are interested you could also buy the actual thing.

Ok... i remember watching this on TV, and marking the shit out as it was happening, but don't quite remember what exactly happened. I'm guessing this was Nitro, sometime in 2001/02 - Steiner and the NWO (i think, might've been some other faction) were in the ring trash talking to DDP (who was at the Turnertron area). So Steiner says he's got backup, and shows off his posse in the ring, and DDP says, he's got backup as well - the only man who's been beating Steiner since he was a kid - cue Rick Steiner coming out. Then DDP brings out Nash (Could be Booker T as well) and someone else as his backup and they brawl (i think).
Major props to anyone who can pinpoint when this happened and link me to a video if possible. I'm guessing this was Thunder, since the set was largely blue (I really don't remember). |

For me it was the Best of Seven series between Booker T and Chris Benoit for the US Title. Those matches were not only increasingly better with every match but was also different with every bout, and it really propelled the two wrestlers as Main Event material even to the clueless big wigs that ran WCW.

One of my favorite moments was at the end of Uncensored 1997 when Sting came down from the rafters and laid waste to everyone in the nWo. Huge markout moment for me.

I thought it was actually for the US title, but it may have been the TV title. I doubt it was number one contendership, though. Who the fuck has a best of seven series just to earn a title shot?

Yes, TV championship, not contendership.

Wait, wasn't the original Best of Seven for a title shot at Fit Finlay's TV title? Not the title itself?

The best of seven series was for a TV title shot. Booker won the series and then beat Fit Finlay (I think) for the title.

I thought that the point of the Television title was that it was defended at every television show. If those matches were going on for number one contendership, who was Finlay defending his title against during that whole time? At least seven people would have leap frogged Booker T and Benoit for title shots if that were the case...unless that stipulation was completely in my head.

Also, in relation to this thread, I find it really hard to think of WCW's greatest moments. The problem is that back in 90's a was a huge WCW>WWF mark (even though I loved WWF), but I was a only a young child back then, so of course I marked out for everything. If I look back now, most of what were 'awesome moments' were fucking awful NWO-fests or victories that come after half the roster had made a run-in.
Not saying WCW didn't have great moments, but it's hard for me to really decide what legitimately was a great moment, and what was just a mark-out moment. Hope that makes sense. ![]() |

I dunno. This is just something I read-up on Wikipedia. I was right, but I have no idea about the Finlay thing or anything else.

Goldberg beating Hogan for the World title on Nitro in Atlanta was a great moment. Even though I didn't particularly care for it, Luger winning the title (was that from Hogan too?) and scrubbing the "nWo" letters off of it was a great moment or something. Every moment that "Lightning Foot" Jerry Flynn was on TV was a great moment for wrestling fans everywhere.

You see! That's what I'm talking about. Luger beating Hogan was the greatest thing ever when I was an 11-year-old mark, but I watch it back now, and instead of seeing a legit 'great moment' I just see 'two has-beens hogging the spotlight past their prime' etc... It was and is a great moment, but a change of perspective has taken a lot of that away from a lot of truly great WCW moments.

One of my favorite moments was when DDP "pretended" to join the nWo, then hitting the Diamond Cutter. Strangely though, Bret going to WCW barely made an impact... |

but there is nothing wrong with those moments, Luger ending Hogan's heel reign was great, "out of the blue", unexpected etc you're just looking at these things through those internet tinted glasses. Your initial perspective was the "right" one.

Jerry Flynn was amazing then, and he is amazing now.

I'd like to think Jerry Flynn fights crime now, randomly showing up topless in alleyways and karate kicking thieves and thugs in the chest before disappearing into the night.

Yeah, I pretty much ejaculated when Bret Hart appeared in WCW, (though being a ten-year-old mark at the time, if I did actually ejaculate nothing would have cum out
![]() Anyways, anytime I look back at Bret in WCW stuff, all I see is a complete joke. Bar one or two matches, his WCW career was a joke. My views on great moments has been tainted by the internet. ![]() |

I enjoyed Goldberg spearing Bret Hart, only for his chest protector to be revealed.

Next to Bret's match with Benoit, this was one of the few times WCW did something awesome with Bret Hart. I know I marked out big time for the moment, since it was a nod to westerns and Back To The Future III. Plus, it just fit Bret's character so well to outsmart Goldberg(one of the few times Goldberg looked invulnerable in WCW)...
