Data, as someone who missed pretty much ALL of WCW, could I in theory go back and watch the pre nitro ppvs and get a good idea of what was good about it? Or am I missing something by not being to see the programs like WCW Saturday Night and WCW pro etc?

 

[Man God]

I personally had no problems watching them all...but I did it backwards. Which sometimes lead to weird spoilers. WCW/NWA ppvs largely make sense in that period all on their own. Just don't skip the Clash of Champions, which I did.

Early 90s WCW is a mixed bag but the top of the card is solid as fuck. Defiantly worth going back. And Bette than WWF at the time. Don't forget the clash of the champions as well!.

Just be wearing if some dusty shit like battlebowl or chamber of horrors

Vader,flair, sting , arn rude ,Austin , pillman, steamboat, muta. Some damn good stuff

[JavyOO7]

Relax, dudes.

This is the best theme in WCW. #fact

MR BANG BANG HES AS STRANGE AS A MAN CAN BE! HE AINT GOT NO FAMILY!

Terry Funk in NWA/WCW early years

Hikaru Shida vs Arisa Nakajima

You should try to track down as much Saturday Night and Pro Wrestling as you can because they used that time to have a bunch of dream matches without being tied to the main feuds.

Like Steve Austin vs Scott Steiner.
Dustin Rhodes vs Rick Rude
Kensuke Sasaki vs Rick Rude
Steve Austin vs Ricky Steamboat
Vader vs Ricky Steamboat
The Steiners vs Arn Anderson & Steve Austin

Saturday Night was fucking incredible.

bonus worldwide match

Miracle Violence Connection(Williams & Gordy) vs The Steiners

 

[slightconfuse]

If only there was some over the top. Network that could all of WCW Saturday night. Someone should get on that

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Welp, I guess along with the WWF during the Attitude era I'm pretty much going to track down a bunch of WCW

If only there was some over the top. Network that could all of WCW Saturday night. Someone should get on that

I no joke find an archive of every RAW and associated PPV that aired from 97 to 2001 and yet can't find the same for wcw

 

[Man God]

The order of shows I most want on the Network.

Thunder, for perverse pleasure.
WCW Saturday Night
Shotgun Saturday Night
WWF Primetime
WWF All American

 

[mooooose]

Give Bryan the IC title and have him make it a big deal like Nakamura

 

[Sou Da]

Look up Ringside Divas, or US if you're really dirty.

 

[Data West]

I'd sub to Network if they had full runs of Saturday Night, Worldwide, Prime time Wrestling, Tuesday Night Titans and WCW Pro Wrestling.

I've seen every episode of Pro Wrestling because someone out there archived it, but I'd like to see it in better quality.

 

[Man God]

They're getting close to having all of TNT.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

What even was THE show for WCW before Nitro?

 

[slightconfuse]

Throw in some Sunday night heat

 

[Man God]

What even was THE show for WCW before Nitro?

Saturday Night.

 

[Data West]

What even was THE show for WCW before Nitro?

Saturday Night if you don't count Clash.

 

[lovely ladies]

What even was THE show for WCW before Nitro?

WCW Saturday Night, Clash of Champions

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Ah, right wrestling used to be on Saturdays

 

[CDiggity]

Hmmmmmm. The eternal struggle between morality and my thirst.

 

[Data West]

I liked the personal, smaller atmosphere of Pro Wrestling, Saturday, the Disney tapes, etc.

makes me sound like a hypocrite because of what I've said about indies, but indies are always so dimly lit. WCCW had a similar issue. Saturday Night, Pro Wrestling, and Worldwide was bright and looked like tv set recording studio(imagine that) which I liked. Looked like an attraction on a theme park or like you were going in to watch Double Dare. Leave the big arenas for the big cards. Even the NJPW smaller arenas just look like gyms.

Well Going by the Smackdown Spoilers Wrestlemania right now looks like this:

Reigns vs Lesnar
Triple H vs Sting
Bray vs Undertaker
Orton vs Rollins
Rusev vs Cena
IC match that might be a

Spoiler

ladder match

Stardust vs Goldust
Tag Title match
Diva match
Battle Royal

One will be a preshow match though and can they fit all that on one show?

 

[FallingEdge]

where is that BJW match that I should be watching?

 

[Man God]

Clashes were basically Raw Super Shows, but good.

Free PPV quality matches that usually stomped whatever WWF was putting on.

Its a joke that in a SF mania that Bryan doesn't have a prominent match.

 

[RP912]

I know I say this shit from time after time but I really miss WCW. Imagine a revamped WCW doing shows with NJPW in 2015.

I don't understand these Graves tweets.

People are cutting out the middle tweet to fit their anti-Graves agenda

You'll go shit-wild on JR calling someone an 'it' but you'll defend Corey 'pull yourself up by your bootstraps' Graves?

[The Shapesmith]

Don't sleep on WCW Main Event which was on Sundays and was also a damn fine program.

 

[TimeEffect]

Charlotte gonna save the diva's division, woo!

 

[Man God]

Don't sleep on WCW Main Event which was on Sundays and was also a damn fine program.

It was basically Sunday Night Heat a decade early. A secondary show unless Sunday had a PPV.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

These sound like two totally different things

 

[Sou Da]

He left "We're not going to do shit about it though" out of that tweet.

 

[serenewarfare]

They are going to give them a 12 minute match with zero build and when the crowd doesn't react because they've been trained not to, they'll say "See, we told you so!"

 

[Data West]

These sound like two totally different things

Both are people speaking for others from a point of privilege.

 

[Alucard]

Ugh. I can't stand how freaking slow Dailymotion is for some videos. Just chugs along and slows everything down. This laptop is only 3 months old, dammit. Vids shouldn't be moving this slowly.

Keep watching.

Main Event was good especially when they did "dark" matches for some ppvs.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Thank you!

Least convincing twitter hack yet.

Yes.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

They still seem pretty different to me, except I should feel bad about both. Graves' statements, to me, sounded like "yeah keep watching NXT is doing it right and change is coming" - that's what I took from it.

 

[CDiggity]

Good news...they are tripling the time for the diva's

Bad news...that's still 45 seconds.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Important to note that tweet is from the future as well.....

 

[Dick Justice]

Keep watching so Vince can replace the Divas segment with three minutes of him wiping his ballsack across the camera.
