I'm not saying every single thing pre 1998 sucked, but it's alot more than people say, cause on other sites I always hear people be like "Raw this week sucked,this is the worst shape WWE has ever been in!". I know 96-97 had lots of great stuff,especially out of people like Bret/Hart Foundation,Austin,Undertaker,Mankind,HBK and so on.

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread
I love Stardust. Hell, I love pretty much everything Cody Rhodes has done in the last few years especially because I thought he definitely was the weak link in The Legacy. Dude has gone above and beyond to impress. And he finally started wearing knee pads, so that helped.Comment

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread
I really thought his run with the IC belt should have been what got that belt back to the prestige it used to have. Really sucked that it didn't.Comment

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread
I think the Stardust thing will finally lead to a feud with Goldust, with Cody dropping the gimmick and being the heel. I think it'll be great.Comment

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread
Though I can still see it happening at WM. Still hoping for that Cody vs Goldust match with Dusty as special guest referee. That match alone without a single promo to build it up already sound interesting and great for a WM match.Comment

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread
Watched DX Confidential this morning. Between that and the MNW episodes, good gawd there's a lot of nostalgia. Starting to remember how truly obsessed I was with wrestling.
I still put a couple other eras above the AE but flipping back and forth and never knowing what to expect between 9-11 was awesome.
I also agree with you guys on HHH. The more he has interviews the more I really like his thought process and what he has to say. He's still a bitch *** mutha****er, though.

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread
lol, funny watching Taker-HBK Badd Blood HIAC stuff and hearing them re-enforce that the cell guarantees no interference. Obviously ironic statement since that very match featured one of(if not the) most famous superstar interference in any match in WWE history.
Though the way they hyped the HIAC structure itself really sucked. First time ever that match happened, and that just act all casual like it's a simple steel cage match or something that's happened before.Comment

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread
I haven't watched the MNW episode of Goldberg but did just read the Death of WCW book (which is excellent) and has just been rereleased.
A new part that was updated was about Goldberg absolutely sand bagging Booker T. Years of hanging and banging with Nash had turned him into quite the politican and with Booker being one of the last few fresh faces in 2000 WCW Goldberg did his best to destory him and any momentum he might have had.
Oh well, payback was when Vince threw money into a barrel and lit it on fire by putting a wig on Goldberg.
Edit: Just watched it. I almost spit out my drink when Sid was saying how Goldberg didn't really get the business. Amazing.
I really enjoy the WCW segments because they are actually honest. The WWE ones are so "Vince is the greatest and conquered the wrestling world."
Booker T: Goldberg said he would only lose to God.
After the Finger Poke of Doom, what did Goldberg do for all of '99? I know a few guys in that re-formed nWo went down with injuries, but don't recall Goldberg being involved in much until later in the year when he blasted Bret Hart in the face and then busted his hand up smashing the windows out of a limo after being done-in by another version of the nWo.
I vaguely remember the heel turn he made after coming back in 2000, but that didn't last long and he wound up being a face again, before just disappearing (was he hurt again?) in late 2000.
Goldberg to me is very similar to Brock Lesnar. Neither guy grew up a fan of the business, but saw it as a way to make a lot of money (which both did). Lesnar at least was able to do a lot more than Goldberg in the ring because of his wrestling background. Goldberg was pretty much punches, kicks, slams, spear and jackhammer. I think if he really cared about pro wrestling, he would've diversified his moveset and character.
Oh well, he was still ridiculously over in 1998. Like Arn said, he was right up there with Hogan, Rock and Austin in terms of his character being so over with the fans.Currently Playing:

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread
I really think you're probably right. Some of the stuff he did was pretty bad, but they became a sinking ship after the merger because the new guys simply did not want a wrestling company as part of the biz.I'm a Vince McMahon Guy!

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread
lol maybe. Though it's funny hearing them refer to hell in a cell basically as nothing more than just "a steel cage with a roof" (their exact words). Talk about underselling it.Comment

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread
The merger was pretty much a ticking time bomb because no matter how good or bad WCW was as a product the internal mechanisms of the company was screwed up beyond belief but Turner was ALWAYS willing to bankroll the company even if it was 2-3 million bucks in the red. The AOL-Time Warner guys only saw the product as a business and because WCW was always a mess in some shape or form financially they cut the cord as soon as there was an opening.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club
