The moderate rise and tragic fall of The Renegade - Slam Wrestling
Richard Wilson, known as The Renegade in World Championship Wrestling, died by suicide on February 23, 1999. But the life went out of him long before that. For it is not enough to trace Wilson’s death at 34 to performance-enhancing drug abuse, declining physique and a loss of his WCW contract...

I never knew Renegade trained at Kowalski's school (but Kowalski was very adamant about having nothing to do with his training personally---)

You see a bit of that in JYD's WCW return angle in 1990. Ole and Flair say some innuendo to Dog and I believe King.

Absolutely surreal to see Ric Flair become a hip hop icon considering how openly and flagrantly bigoted he has been in the past.

Chad Hart is Gary’s son. In Gary’s book he talked about how Chad was confronted by one of the Harts about using the name. If he was using these mannerisms that makes more sense.

He definitely acted like a goofy jobber parody of Bret Hart, which seemed especially callous since the entirety of his run was right after Bret suffered his career ending injury.
'00 WCW Saturday Night lineups really were wild (and tbh, usually better than the Nitro and Thunder)

New Holy Grail to find: Apparently the famous 605 Wrasslin' set was reused from a Ted Turner hosted TBS special on the Environment.

Was WCW Backstage Blast just guys solemnly speaking from the heart then suddenly breaking into character?

Was Jimmy in WCW until the very end? I know he was eventually tasked with booking Saturday Night.

Jimmy Hart was around until the end. I'm honestly really shocked he didn't walk out with Hogan and Bischoff after Bash at the Beach '00. He wrestled Mancow at Mayhem '00, the 5th to last PPV. If you wanted to forget that, I wouldn't blame you.
His Wikipedia says he (re?)joined WCW's creative committee in February 2001, which, boy. Talk about jumping onto a sinking ship. It's nice to know that the Mouth of the South may have had a hand in the death rattle of WCW that @Laz and @Valeyard love so much though!

A friend of mine saw Jimmy Hart at LAX a couple years ago. I was hoping to learn that he had a megaphone at the security checkpoint cheering on the TSA agents—“STAY ON ‘EM BABY! STAY ON ‘EM!”—but sadly, he did not.

I saw Hart last month at the same event with Backlund. He stayed for the show, just generally chill.

Looks like me and @BruiserBrody may have a new favorite Twitter account.

Jimmy Hart seemed wildly out of place and dated in WCW after '96. I can't imagine him doing any sort of long term onscreen role in '00s WWE.
I tried to see if they wrote Jimmy Hart off of WCW TV (besides the occasional inexplicable Mancow feuds) and closest thing was him losing a a hardcore match to Norman Smiley in November '99. He was the strap master for the YAPAPI STRAP MATCH at WCW Uncensored '00 too.

Randomly listening to an older 83 weeks as I prep to leave for UFC: Bischoff spent months plugging Blue Chew and talking about banging "Mrs. B", but here he refused to use the name of "Hugh G. Rection".

So as Kamala or whoever revealed, this is Gary Hart's kid. How do you have a multi decade booking and managing genius at home and instead of coming up with a mildly fresh idea, use your real(?) last name and mimic Bret? Really remarkable.

Haven't we learned not to assume that second generation talent has inherited their parent's mind for the business (or talent?). Chad Hart seems worse than most though, considering his only exposure was '00 WCW squashes.
20+ years later, I still can't tell if Johnny the Bull was horribly miscast or perfectly cast in the dying days of WCW? He seems like the later day Power Plant doofs that'd fit in best in ECW.
I feel obligated to point out anytime I mention Johnny the Bull the time that he tore his urethra on Monday Nitro since it's still incredibly gruesome to think about.
It's not a TNA thread or otherwise I'd point out RELLIK is "killer" spelled backwards.
Except I just did. Whoops.

Maybe Gary saw Chad try to wrestle and said, "the only chance you have is to imitate Bret Hart and try to milk it."

The 2003 TNA PPV I watched had Ricky Morton in a suit but 1991 WCW couldn’t convince him to wear one.

I was an avid watcher of WCW Saturday Night in its last four or five months and I swore Kid Romeo was going to be one of the wrestlers of the '00s and potentially the next Rock.
Can't predict 'em all right. I'd like to predict some of them though---

He definatley had potential. I think his contract was picked up by WWE in the sale but never got out of development and quickly flamed out shortly after.
