    I caught some One Man Gang matches from mid south and WCCW, he was one hell of a worker. I love the way he took bumps

      Lol, the HHH/Steph story was really How I Met Your Mother in disguise.

        IRS having no music and just berating the tax cheats on the mic while he walks to the ring is incredible.

          I loved at WM10 when they had the Bill Clinton impersonator sitting with Ted Dibiase and IRS. One of those times when perfect satire just happened to fall into place.

            Took a break from the Nitro era and went back and watched the first Slamboree: A Legends Reunion. Still has one of my favorite themes from the 90's.

            The reason I mentioned this, is I had forgotten just how good the Nick Bockwinkel/Dory Funk Jr. match was, given how old they were. Guys put on a clinic for a 15 minute draw, and showed they could still go. If you are a fan of that style of wrestling, its definitely worth a watch. And if you aren't a fan, you just at least tune in to see the Hollywood Blondes vs. Dos Hombres cage match. One of my fav tag matches to this day.

                Hell yes. And the fans loved it.

                  Listening to Jerichos podcast with Meltzer about the WCW purchase was definitely interesting. I never knew all details behind it. I only started watching weekly around the time WCW was ending.

                  I knew the small details of Bischoff possibly taking over. But the tv deal getting pulled, new Turner execs HATED wrestling, Vince winding up with greatest purchase ever, 2.5M for everything WCW related and no committment to any preexisting contracts.

                  I knew they wanted WCW to be a weekly show, but didn't know it was SpikeTV which really prevented it from happening with the exclusivity deal. Monday Nitro and I'm guessing Thursday Raw(and SD dies after 2-3 years). Booker T vs Bagwell match ruined everything, but having it in a non WCW town changed history.

                  And the storyline was gonna be Linda divorcing Vince and getting Monday Night programming in the divorce. Giving it to Shane and he'd run Nitro.

                  I still feel 2001 should've been ONLY the ECW invasion. June-Novemver could've been ECW, then after Survivor Series is when Flair debuts and WCW starts coming in. Everything up to WM18 happens similarly, but after that we get the full battle lines drawn and could've had Rock,HHH,Austin(who doesn't take his ball home anymore in this event) leading charge vs Hogan,Hall,Nash,Flair and others.

                    Not surprising because WWE excels with these types of shows, but the new Batista episode of WWE 24 is really good. Definitely worth the watch.

                          Spoiler tag that post. Not because of spoilers, but because its really long.

                              Did people know back then that Tazz would be debuting in WWF? Or that the video playing was for him?

                              And for the Steph/HHH story, did people suspect something like what was about to happen to actually happen?

                                Was watching Smokey Mountain wrestling on YouTube, and Cornette had a great line on commentary talking about Ivan and Nikita Koloff.

                                Caudle: you know these Russians are always talking about kilos when they talk about their weight. I've no idea what a "kilo" means.
                                Cornette: Well I think it means 4-5 years in federal prison, but that's another story.
