Whatever it was, it couldn't be on the level of the Fingerpoke of Doom, or Booker T losing the WCW Title to Vince Russo, or David Arquette becoming WCW Champion, or Kanyon getting thrown off the Triple Cage and them treating it like a serious incident almost exactly one year to the date of Owen Hart and it taking place in the same arena.

Oh it was worse. It was worse because it cost them their epic lead and ratings streak. They had Vince dead to rights at the guillotine and chopped their own leg off.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

COMPLETELY forgot about that.

That being said, Russo was still definitely the final nail in the coffin for WCW.

 

[klunderbunker]

A coffin which was needed because of the mortal wound at Starrcade.

At one point late in the company, they lost over 50 million dollars in a 52 week period. How do you do that?>

 

[D-Man]

Fuck it.

Short version, Hogan vs. Sting had been build up for over a year. Sting had turned his back on WCW because a fake Sting joined the NWO and he took it as they didn't trust him. He didn't speak on TV for over a year. During that time he hung out in the rafters and didn't do much of anything.

Hogan dominates the entire time. Finally, Sting issues a challenge, implying he wants Hogan. We roll into Washington DC for Starrcade, WCW's Wrestlemania. Hogan has been running scared of Sting for 8 months. Hogan dances to the ring. He plays the belt like it's a guitar and acted like he was fighting Lash Leroux. Sting makes his big dramatic entrance...and then Hogan beats the hell out of him. Hogan has been scared to look at him and now he's beating him up.

A month earlier, Montreal had happened. Bret Hart had debuted that night as a guest referee. At the end of the match, Hogan hit the legdrop and Sting got pinned clean. The idea had been a parody/homage to Montreal with Nick Patrick the referee doing a fast count. The problem was he did a regular one, so Sting looks like he got beat clean in like 5 minutes. Bret was supposed to run down and protest, but he was there before the bell even rang which made even less sense. He says he's not going to let it happen again, which if you didn't watch WWF made NO sense at all. He was a referee earlier int he night so apparently he had referee authority here too. He restarted the match and Sting beats Hogan clean in like 10 seconds with the Scorpion.

They stripped Sting of the belt like ten days later I think and it wasn't for over a MONTH that Sting beat him clean. He lose the belt to Savage like two months later and Hogan got it the next day. Instead of being the end of the NWO, Hogan was champion again less than two months later. WCW's fans had been waiting a year and a half to see Hogan get killed and it didn't happen because Hogan decided he shouldn't get squashed, despite running like a coward that long. Everyone changed the channel and saw a bald guy winning every match he had. The 85 week losing streak ended about 2 months later.

Ah... the Sting/Hogan angle. I'm very familiar with that one. What a waste...

 

[klunderbunker]

Oh one thing you might like.

According to a JJ Dillon shoot I saw, Russo once tried to find out how much it would cost to bribe a fire marshall. Why you ask?








He wanted to burn the arena down on live TV.

 

[D-Man]

Wait a minute... um... WHAT?!?

 

[klunderbunker]

Apparently management frowned upon it. Seriously, YOU CAN'T MAKE SHIT LIKE THIS UP.

 

[D-Man]

How dare they frown upon burning an arena to the ground. Because it's totally worth it to burn down an arena for one week's worth of a small pop in ratings.

 

[klunderbunker]

Another story from that time: they brought in a crow handler for a 5 second shot.

Total cost: 5,000 dollars.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

I just want to know how much they actually paid the fucking Insane Clown Posse to wrestle for them.

 

[Thriller Ant]

If they paid them anything, it was too much

 

[D-Man]

And how much did they actually pay the NBA boys?

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Whatever it was, Dennis Rodman blew it all on cocaine the minute he got the check.

 

[D-Man]

Alcohol, my friend. That's Dennis's drug of choice.

Hey yo D-man I'm curious, don't know if it was you who added the note on my post in the Create a new stable thread.

Either way, was that considered a hit at my post for listing Evolution's past members and what Evolution served to do and why it wouldn't work? or am I completely off?

Yup, that was me.

It really had nothing to do with your post. In order to post something within the quote brackets, a post has to already contain some kind of normal characters. Since I didn't feel like creating a new post, I just tacked it onto the most recent coherent post in the thread which happened to be yours.

 

[Ferbian]

I figured, and thanks for clearing it up, I was thinking I was on the verge of that infraction the quote was talking about.

 

[D-Man]

No no no... you're fine, brother.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Why do I hate Rey? His underdog push is about as idiotic as you can get. He's always pushed so that a bunch of 8 year olds are happy. I almost cried from happiness when Khali massacred him. There comes a point where the underdog loses. WWE needs to realize this. HIs interviews are getting worse every time he talks. The mentioning of Eddie used to drive me insane, but to be fair he's toned that WAY down. Also, the 619. I don't think that requires any explanation.

Well lest see here

WWE


WWE

WWE

I have seen nothing that is Ray Mastrio Jr.'s fault. All the way the WWE books him. the WWE is for 8 year olds, clown, its mostly naked oily men fake fighting each other, hello. he loses his fair share.

If you hate Rey, you hate Czena.

 

[Ferbian]

No no no... you're fine, brother.

Oh D-man even if I wasn't, I could've never gotten mad at you.

 

[D-Man]

Oh D-man even if I wasn't, I could've never gotten mad at you.

Then I thank you, in somewhat of a disturbed sort of way.

 

[Ferbian]

Yeah, I've been feeling a little odd on those comments as of late.. TM constantly asking me if I'm gay on MSN is getting to me.. I'm gonna have to kill him..

 

[D-Man]

You talk to TM on MSN?!? Dude, why?!?

 

[Ferbian]

First guy to add me on this forum, before I knew of him as a person, he's been pretty decent to me although, haven't seen the creepiness that people talk so much about.

I'm sorry?

 

[klunderbunker]

As for the Rey/Cena thing, Cena isn't a 4ft 9inch midget beating up full sized guys. I've never liked the whole underdog with a lot of heart thing. Freaking idiotic after awhile. Once in awhile is fine, but not consistently.
