Watching Uncensored 2000

[klunderbunker]

Crowbar got thrown off the scaffolding and through part of the stage. The announcers are talking about how his career is over and how distraught they are. Madden suggested that maybe they should stop the show. I really hope I'm wrong and this is probably a stretch, but that sounds a lot like a commentary/criticism of Vince for not stopping the PPV when Owen fell. If that's what it is, screw this company. Hard.

 

[Nate DaMac]

The chokeslam from The Wall?

 

[Nate DaMac]

I think they were going for the Mick Foley Cell spot more than that. It was rather impressive looking though.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

The Wall? Crowbar? Who gave these guys their names?

That's exactly what it was KB. You never knew that? I remember watching them replay it a thousand times on Nitro and later renting the PPV on VHS. They basically tried to mimic the commentary during the Owen Hart accident in order to make it seem more "real". The bump was pretty fucking crazy though, that's probably one of the biggest bumps WCW ever did. Kanyon did a huge bump like that around this time too IIRC, maybe off of the triple cage.

The spot isn't what bothred me. It's the commentary afterwards.

The Wall? Crowbar? Who gave these guys their names?

He was originally paired with a guy named Berlyn. I kid you not.

I haven't seen this show before. That Kanyon bump was the next month, in the same arena Owen's accident happened in.

Berlyn was a Dancing Fool

Berlyn was kind of a cool gimmick for like 2 weeks before he wrestled his first PPV match in the gimmick against Jim fucking Duggan, who no-sold literally EVERYTHING that Berlyn did to him and basically buried the gimmick and his career that night even though he wound up winning. Jim Duggan...on PPV...in 1999. Let that shit sink in.

 

[klunderbunker]

Not to mention this show sucks. I'm about 50 minutes into it and the match of the night so far has either been The Artist vs. Psicosis in a pretty weak and pointless cruiserweight title match or Brian Knobbs vs. 3 Count. And people wonder why this company went out of business.

Also Wright had the same problem with Paul Roma back in 93-94. The guy just has bad luck.

That one looked much more painful to me. It seemed like his fall wasn't broken like Crowbar's was.

 

[Big Nick Dudley]

I hadn't thought about that little piece of commentary in a long, long time. Scumbags, all of them. Wonder what Madden has to say about it now. Guaranteed he takes no responsibility for it.

 

[klunderbunker]

Could be an interesting question. Also it was likely fed to him.

Hehe. There's a fat joke to be made in there somewhere.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Trying to watch WCW is like trying to read DC. I have no idea who anyone is, nor why I should care.

 

[Steamboat Ricky]

KB...why are you such a masochist?

 

[klunderbunker]

Because one day I mentioned that I was planning to review every PPV ever and someone (Justin maybe) said there was no way I could do it. I hate being told I can't do something, so I spent the next probably three and a half years by the time I'm done of my life proving I could to prove a guy I'll likely never meet who likely doesn't remember this on an internet wrestling forum wrong.

I have a laptop.

If that's the only thing that isn't accurate...

I plan on doing the same thing KB, except over a much longer period of time. I'm not a review machine like you, you pump out like 2 or 3 a day it seems while I probably do one or two a week max these days. One day though! One day I will have a review of every WWE, WCW, ECW, Tokyo Dome and PWG show ever. It may take years, but damnit, I'll do it. And then maybe I'll think of trying to do all the ROH shows. In like a decade, lol.

Sometimes I wonder why you continuously put yourself through watching those later WCW pay per views. Put to your credit you do, and always post an interesting review. Just reading them brings back nightmares of the company for me, though.

You'll only know true wrestling torture when you sit through episodes of modern WWC.
