The funniest thing about Enos/Doll was as soon as Hall approaches the ring, both men casually just go like "eh, fuck it" and leave the ring.

Kamala already knows this because he reads Useless Moron Scott Keith's blog, but one of the recent WON reviews had an amusing story or Mark Madden being fired by ATM Eric for going on the hotline and talking about Hogan being booed by Nitro audiences (in 1995 when he was the top face). Turner's people then rehired Madden after reminding Bischoff he himself was in charge of overseeing the hotline, so he should have stopped it from ever being released.

SMDH. Those oafs couldn’t protect Primetime! No wonder why JR wanted to send them to developmental when they went to WWF a year later!

HERE COMES JOHNNY B BADD!

...you know, I wish Mero got a post-WWF run in WCW. He was a solid enough talent and leaned into the douchebag heel role well enough.

Man, if I had a time machine I know where I'd go.

Dave Meltzer hasn’t done nearly enough to condemn his BFF Mike Tenay’s slut shaming.

I'm imagining Johnny B Badd being inserted in the dumb three way Tank Abbott/Steiner Brothers/Goldberg faux MMA feud followed by Tank Abbott and Johnny B. Badd feuding with Tank over who gets to be Three Count's manager/bodyguard. Woah baby! They should've resigned Mero in '00 for sure.
I remember they were teasing heel Tenay a lot in the last year of WCW. He was acting really smarmy and ignorant during interviews and it culminated in I believe Big Poppa Pump attacking him. Then Tenay was on Worldwide for the last 6 months of WCW. I could be misremembering.

He also got el kabonged by Jeff Jarrett too at some point in the Summer of ‘00.
Vince Russo was big on humiliating announcers. That stuff with Tenay, having Mark Madden get beat up by Tank Abbott and his shirt ripped off (then other announcers making fun of how horrible and fat he was). Turning Mean Gene’s character into an horny old pervert and having him “wrestle” Mark Madden. I also remember a Nitro or Thunder where Scott Hudson had to announce in his skivvies cause he pissed off Russo.
For someone who likes to accuse current wrestling fans of being gay, he sure liked to put middle aged men in various states of undress.
Only one who managed to stay above the fray is Schiavone and I can only imagine that is because he had some form of creative control and told Russo to fuck off cause I think that would be first announcer Russo would want to involve in a wacky storyline.
In fact, I think the only time Schiavone really had any sort of involvement in a storyline before WCW ended is when he flipped over Dusty Rhodes turning heel in ‘98.

Why did anyone think this was an idea? Not good or bad. Who came up with this concept in general!?

Konnan had a lot of choreographed "highspots" in his early days that took a lot of contrived set up as he tried to work Lucha spots while breaking down from injuries and steroids. This spot in particular just looks like they plotted it out w/o the steps in mind.

Fact that they went for WCW/NWO Revenge to this in a two year span demonstrates WCW's downfall just as much as anything that happened in ring. From the sublime to the ridiculous.

I am pretty sure I owned this (second hand) and may still have it in my PS1 pile. I can't say I remember this game having the Russo era roster (YIKES).... I guess I figured the downturn in ratings would scare off developers,
Buddy Lee Parker~!
Candido making the game means they pulled the roster at a very limited frame of time.

I always associated with Summer of 2000 WCW (and probably cause that's when characters in game are based). It's weird to think it came out after Russo finally got fired.

Yeah I would've said spring or summer 2000 when WCW. Either way I remember seeing it in stores and looking it up, confused as fuck.
Worst roster on a WCW game, too. Yikes. Poor Daffney, associated with this.
