Kamala's Random WCW Bullshit thread

[alkeiper]

Dusty's commentary is a total highlight of WCW for me. I think about that time he kept telling Tony he understood Morse Code and was trying to translate Cobra's theme way too often. It isn't even that funny.

Some battle royal where Dusty is marking out for El Dandy. "He's the only one I know!"

See the best way for WCW to combat them was for JJ Dillon to hire Rick Bogner to be the REAL Diamond Stud.

Episode 320: WCW Hall Of Fame - 83 Weeks with Eric Bischoff

Since 1984 every wrestling promoter has tried to beat Vince McMahon and the World Wrestling Federation unsuccessfully… except one, Eric Bischoff. From a “C-Team Announcer” to the President of WCW, Eric did it all! The nWo, Monday Night Nitro, and most importantly beating Vince not once, but 83...

Kamala and @BruiserBrody cry: WCW *did* have a Hall of Fame and Bischoff was probably the one who ended cause nobody cared!

If Sheiky Baby was even somewhat sober and/or motivated in WCW, he would have been awesome.

WCW kept renewing his contract anyway though so I respect him.

 

[Valeyard]

Him in the AWA reigniting the Sarge feud is what's up.

 

[King Kamala]

@BruiserBrody cursing about SuperClash III.

 

[Valeyard]

A Sheik face turn and feud with DeBeers has some hidden gems.

Beginning of the end for the Cruiserweight Division.

I always felt bad for them on some level.

 

[King Kamala]

Yeah, I mean, they got a gay gimmick in a Southern based promotion (that is sharply declining no less) during the most aggro summer post Nixon and pre Trump.

Comments made me wonder if WCW made a play for Bigelow in late 92 when WWF came calling? New monster for Sting to conquer. Big man for Watts to salivate over. Vader is not the world champ at that moment so he and Bigelow could even go on a tear for a bit before Vader gets the belt back from Simmons.
I don't really want a Bigelow face turn, but an eventually split in summer or whatnot would give us some big time fun hoss matches with Bigelow vs Vader.
---
I wonder how Watts would handle signing Bob Backlund in November 92 instead of WWF? Big time push attempt for a former NCAA stud, with the same emphasis Vince would do to compare him to George Foreman. Totally outshined by the top faces, but Koloff retires in October, so there is a slot open.

Herb Kunze "Backlund in WCW is like a Steiner if they were boring!"

Jabs like this are what made JR’s call of the stupid finish WrestleMania IX so more awkward/unintentionally hilarious.

HOGAN! HOGAN! HOGAN!

 

[Valeyard]

JR always sounds so sensitive when he does these.

Watched this 10,000 times as a kid since it was one of the limited wrestling VHS' I had.
Good Lord, bad phantom ref bump from Nick Patrick. And then WCW airs it in slow motion in the replay.
Luger drops the US title to a forearm shot that keeps him down for like a minute.
Led to zero Luger vs Gordy matches. Gordy worked the Bash tour, Luger turned heel.

I forgot Vampiro being between Russo and Bischoff during that segment ominous.

Remember WCW loyalists trying to sell themselves on Vampiro as a potential massive superstar for them? I remember.

 

[Valeyard]

I don't like Vampiro at all but he wasn't any worse than anyone else. He was over and a decent enough brawler with a unique look. He just couldn't talk, be consistent, and I don't think had any actual good matches (probably some bangers with Awesome exist, though) while being part of some of the worst moments of the period.

The reboot was the last chance. Like I think that the reboot could have led to great things if handled by anyone else. I remember at the time just not taking it seriously because of Russo.

If only Nash had the nerve to do jobs like his buddy.

I'm not sure where Hall got "Me and Kev were doing jobs all the time"

We did it. We found the one person who enjoyed themselves in ‘99-‘01 WCW.

 

[King Kamala]

Looking up on Cagematch to see if there was a Jim Duggan/Bryan Clarke match (I only found battle royals) and found something even weirder.

Ric Flair was on so many weird side quests once the nWo started and mostly shunted him to the mid card.
