He stuck around with Rick for a little bit but yeah he was gone pretty quickly after that.

I seem to remember him having some involvement with the racing stuff? Can someone confirm this?

Found it last night. Re-watched KweeWee/Jett from Greed for the first time in 20 years. It's even better than I remember.

Amazing what a hot opener can do for a card.

Dumping so many ppvs out of the gate must mean the jump to Netflix will halve the library. I love that they're doing this but there's kind of something ominous about the future for me.

If I'm Monsoon Classic, I'm more nervous than ever.

So the complaint is you want to pay for it?

(I get it, they will take years to dump everything)

The complaint is that is that it's free content and I don't trust WWE to not see that as extremely disposable. And honestly I'd pay what I am now to pull up the shows I want and not be drip fed things out of sequence based on their own preferences.

Uncensored '95 was just uploaded to YouTube so no better way to spend a lazy Sunday then watching a bottom 5 WCW PPV.

I'm surprised another promotion never did a King of the Road-esque match. Even ironically.

Rhodes and Smash tried and they both deserved better.

I think that also has the only fun Nasty Boys vs Harlem Heat match, because of all the cartoon mayhem.

They had been working together for over a year at this point but Tony already seemed fed up with Bobby on commentary here. Don't remember that happening till like 97/98 ish.

Arn/Badd and Meng/Duggan are disasters but Sting/Bubba and Nasties/Heat are solid.

Savage was firmly entrenched in "sell for 95% of the match and then make a comeback" here. A trend he started in his last few years in the WWF.

Christopher Cruise



I see Lex Luger is continuing on his never-ending redemption tour. He's a nice, approachable guy now, always ready to meet the fans and talk about his prime. Nice big smile. Yeah yeah yeah, people can change, turn the page, turn over a new leaf, find Gawd. Hard to tell if any conversion is real, but he's been at it for awhile so I guess we should take him at his word. And he's in very tough physical shape so we should have some sympathy for him. But let's not forget this is a guy who never liked pro wrestling, didn't like other pro wrestlers, didn't like the fans and was a condescending asshole. One time when I was hosting WCW Worldwide a ring announcer had gotten fired and Jim Herd asked if I would go on the road for a bit; I readily agreed and ended up having a lot of fun. The fans in the small towns popped when I walked out to the ring because they had been watching me on TV and had no idea I was going to be there; it was quite an ego boost. So, I began to announce the talent as they entered the ring like they do at TV tapings -- but I didn't know that at live events you waited until they were in the ring and then introduced them. In comes Luger with a sour look on his face. He brushes past me in the ring and tells me I'm doing it the wrong way, what a stupid fuck I am and how the fuck did I get the job. You're supposed to wait until we get into the ring to announce us you idiot. (He did it quickly and no one outside the ring could hear him.) That's just one example of the complete asshole he was to many of the behind-the-scenes people in WCW and to no-power announcers like me. And as we know he was a steroid abuser and cheater, and an absent father. (I also heard that for about ten years all he ate was grilled chicken and rice.) So, let's applaud this guy for making a change, but let's not forget that he was one big fucking bag of dicks for the longest time.

This is my kind of bitterness. I've got a revenge list dating to at least 5th grade.

I'm an asshole though. I was feuding with a girl in Kindergarten so when she was that's day's "Special Helper", instead of clapping as we were to do, I boo'd her like she was King Kong Bundy (same size). I had to go up to her and apologize.

24 years out of High School, she's finally skinny and posts glamour shots on FB.

Cruise getting vitriolic when WWE hired Joey Styles and not him is my favorite.
