Re: Bash at the Beach 2000

Yeah,Jim Herd was an idiot. Only thing that could be said about him was that he didn't institute those stupid rules that Bill Watts brought in. One of them was no moves from the top rope,which pretty much killed off the cruiserweight division quick fast and in a hurry.

Wasn't another one of his stupid rules the banning of the piledriver?

Re: Bash at the Beach 2000

I suggest everyone read Death of WCW by Wrestlecrap's RD Reynolds.

...or just watch TNA who seem to be doing the exact same things.

Sadly with just about the same cast of characters.

Re: Bash at the Beach 2000

It's pretty sickening. I use to REALLY like TNA, I haven't watched a lot of it in months. I'll see little segments here and there, nothing of interest though.

Yeah, TNA stocks are dropping quick. As for the Hogan vs Russo deal, yeah it happend. WCW was a nasty ****hole in the end. As Big Show said in Monday Night Wars, " It was like 10 limos woould pull up and 25 NWO members would get out..WTF"

That was the problem,too much NWO. Those guys weren't interested in putting anybody over,they just cared about them. Or how did the line in Death of WCW go, "When push came to show the NWO didn't lose." Case in point,look at how the Steiner Bros were treated. The Steiners were number one contenders for the better part of a year and a half. Hell Hall and Nash even ran the guys off the road,yet the Steiners didn't press charges because in the world of pro wrestling the best way to take revenge for attempted vehicular homicide was to take your opponents title belt. Yet when it was time for the Steiners to win the belt,Hall and Nash went to Eric Bischoff and said that the constant title changes(which is funny because Hall and Nash hadn't lost the belts since they had won them) was hurting the drawing powers of the titles. That ended that.

Then again,at least the Steiners got a tag team title shot. Harlem Heat lost the belts to Hall and Nash and never contended again.

Well, Hogan, Savage, Hall, Nash, and Bischoff always said they were not interested in building WCW. They were there to put WWE "Out Of Business". Thats were there mess up came. They got greedy and if they would have just stuck with a simple story like say a 5 man NWO group against say Sting and other Fan Favorites, the powers of be may have had WCW win the wars. I really wish those two organizations could have co-existed and made for entertaining Monday nights

The nWo was dead once they started letting clowns like Buff Bagwell join up with them. Has far has Sting and the other fan favorites go,what other fan favorites. The whole idea of drawing money is to make the fans feel has if wrestler B has a shot at beating Wrestler A. The nWo squashed everybody and they did it in such a way that you knew no matter what the nWo guy was gonna win. I mean they had Virgil knocking off top WCW guys with clean pinfall victories. I'm sorry I don't care how washed up Lex Luger was,you don't have him doing clean pinfall jobs for Virgil. Especially a couple of weeks after Luger was the World Champion.
