It really is surprising the SST didn't do more in WCW/WWF. Yes the rosters were loaded and the Samoans were good at self sabotage, but gosh they had IT.
Too bad a real ECW type of place wasn't around for them to dominate in.

Forget the Samoans, Lee Scott needed a place to get a Chris Hamrick role.

How The Gambler Saved Chris Jericho’s Career - Talk Is Jericho
The Gambler Jeff Gann of WCW fame is very much alive and well despite the erroneous reports of his death last month! Jeff sets the record straight about the false story. He and Chris Jericho also watch the 5-minute match (and Jericho’s second ever at WCW) that resulted in Chris getting signed...
The Gambler (yes, The Gambler) makes his podcast debut. This is my podcast of the year.

Commenters believe this is more Hall trying to make Goldburg look bad rather than Bill being a botch machine.

On the newest John Arezzi podcast, they are covering the debut of Bastian Booger and his co host Don Laible was talking about how Mike Shaw was really in tune with the smark community and tried to win them over.
Laible then talked about how he was banned from WCW events for a number of years by Gary Juster because Mike Shaw somehow convinced to write a bunch of phony fan letters to Turner headquarters demanding that Norman the Lunatic get a pay raise.

Hope Mike Shaw's estate talked you into writing that post.

93 Vince signing a monster heel, and then making him as unmarketable as possible was certainly a choice.

Signing a guy that big and immediately making him a JTTS is very unusual for WWF. Before Booger, only precedent was probably Rusty Brooks.

Big Ron Studd was right after Booger.

Can you imagine the horror of a world where Big John Studd doesn't get sick and we get a Studd tag team in either WCW or WWF in 94/95?

Can you imagine the horror of the real world where we didn't get a Booger/Studd tag team in 93? They would've ran through the tag division like a hemophiliac through a box of bandages.

NWO 2000 had their own NWO ref? It appears Mark Johnson was part of the group and worked against Mickey Jay twice. No memory of this.

On the other hand, it’s early ‘90s WCW. Maybe we should be glad that at least the racist guy wasn’t supposed to be the babyface.

Episode 278: Bash At The Beach 1995 - 83 Weeks with Eric Bischoff
On this episode of 83Weeks, we are diving deep into the development of Monday Night Nitro and all the other happenings leading up to Bash At The Beach 1995! Eric shares his thoughts on how the concept of a beach ppv came about, how Baywatch got involved with the company, and why he considers...
Also Bischoff doing his whiny watered down Cornette schtick is popular enough to justify a second podcast where he just talks about the current product. Who are these people listening to this!?

The Business of the Business pod was supposed to be a Patreon bonus thing. I know at least some of them are wide release. I think Nash dropping on Mondays a year ago ended my Bisch downloads.Temptation is strong but I will not cave.Episode 278: Bash At The Beach 1995 - 83 Weeks with Eric Bischoff

Listening to this. Pleasant but not particularly notable. Only takeaway is that Gambler is only person I have heard speak fondly about Ole Anderson outside of Ole’s age demographic.OH BABY!How The Gambler Saved Chris Jericho’s Career - Talk Is Jericho

And even then he implied he got the Anderson look by Ole telling him to cut his long hair cause it looked gay. Also called Buff Bagwell one of his favorite opponents and only person he has talked with since leaving the business. Definitely has to be one of the only people with fond memories of Ole Anderson and Buff Bagwell.

They could have had Booger as the Yeti, wrapped in actual toilet paper covered in shit.

I'll always fondly remember rushing to the magazine rack at the grocery store or Fleet Farm and catching up on 3 month old news. In 92 WCW Worldwide aired at Midnight on Saturdays and I can honestly not remember seeing it too often (I was 9!) and yet Doc/Gordy rampaging over the Steiners and the Dangerous Alliance harassing the rest of the faces had me in fits just based on pictures and articles.
I guess my neighbor was also feeding me info on Mondays after he had spent the weekend watching the WCW cable shows at his Grandmas,

Keeping up with WCW at that time required the magazines even if you had cable. They were still consistently booking better (than ppv/Clash) cards, with more important goings on, at the Omni. They'd give that stuff more tv promotion time than the ppvs. Then they'd never speak of it again afterward and repeat the cycle.
