The REST of Wrestling History

[It's...Baylariat!]

That's the new series I'm starting in the Old School section. It's about Black Saturday. Don't know what that is? Read and respond to my thread.

Up now, Lariat? Oh, do I have my rant to go on with that...

Just hope you didn't go with what the WWE says happens. It's not even close.

Umm... no. I stayed impartial.

Ah good. According to Vince, depending on which DVD you watch, Vince said if Turner didn't want to do business, Vince didn't want to do business. Then on the Rise and Fall of WCW, Vince wanted to and Turner screwed him over and Vince got out. Those are flat out lies, all around.

 

[Mr. TM]

Was it The Rise And Fall of WCW that had the interesting interpretation on it?

 

[klunderbunker]

McMahon and Rise/Fall.

Vince's ratings bombed, Turner was mad, and put more wrestling to make up for it.

 

[klunderbunker]

Yep. Although bombed is about as being nice to Vince as you can be.

When a 7:00 AM time slot beats a 6:05 time slot, you have a problem.

 

[klunderbunker]

The WWF shows back then were CRAP.

Long Story Short: Vince uses his cable outlets, and location benefits, to muscle his way into other teritorries, and epic fails.

Great thread, Lariat. I hope people come in with some out there opinions. The views on this topic can be wide and varied.
