I'm so worried they're going to turn Rusev into a comedy act.

Self conscious Zybsko is the highlight of that gif.

Yooo if I was Owen, fuck this bullshit I would have just said that I can't do it. Hearing how she went to the catwalk herself is horrifying.

That feud with Dolph/Lana/Summer was pretty emphatically comedy (intentional or otherwise) for a good 2 or 3 months. Just because they tried to fix the damage they did doesn't mean it didn't happen

That said, shit like this does go a long way to explain Matt Riddle's work outside Evolve:
Checking the card on the first event listed there:
- Big Van Vader & Mr. Hughes vs. The Steiner Brothers
- Barry Windham, Dustin Rhodes & Ron Simmons vs. The Dangerous Alliance
- Rick Rude & Steve Austin vs. Ricky Steamboat & Sting
Daaang. That's what I'm talkin' about, daddeh!

WCW had a great run in the early 90's but it became a trainwreck for it's last years.

Mr. Hughes..... Fuck him.

Well duh. That's why we're talking pre-Hogan here.
While re-watching some monday night wars stuff I was realizing I kind of hate the nwo. I loved it while it was going on and I realize the impact is great, but really the moment hogan & Bischoff get involved it goes to complete shit.
Been a while since #Snitchlife was last around.

So Owen saved two lives during his stunt, Max Mini and Jimmy K. Damn, this shit stings even more.

Just set up the Network on my PS4 and it's incredible how much the Roku app pales in comparison.

2 minutes into 92 Clash of Champions and what the hell happened to Missy Hyatt later in life!? I know it's plastic surgery, but yeeeeesh
Zach you didn't mention Vader was coming out in his mask/helmet. This is great, hooked.

I'd say it was above average for its last years.
better than the shit that WWE puts out every Monday

Back then WWF had to try due to having meaningful competition. Right now they just half ass it on RAW.

The wrestling was pretty bad during the Attitude era though. Even though the upper card of WCW was getting corny and lame (WOLFPAC IN DA HOUSE) the mid-card wrestling was over the top good.
No, WWE.
Awesome camera work.HOGAN!!!!!!!
Reminds me of the best camera angle on entrance in wrasslin: Mark Henry. Remember him?

I know wrestling becoming so mainstream is largely due to his runs in the 80's but I tend to find his matches on the whole boring, it worked because he was so over primarily.

Until it's time to watch those ppvs and you might say Roku is better lol.
Totally agree with this. Pre-Hogan WCW was consistent and rather good.Your journey awaits:
Although Erik Watts and Mr Hughes...
Yet everyone gives me crap for never giving an A... >_>

The wrestling to me feels more fluid. A lot of matches now feel less fluid because they're wrestling to set up for moves. Every guy now has 5 signature moves so they need to get them in. Back in the 80s and early 90s you just had your set up and finisher so the matches felt more like a story of sorts. Things just moved with back and forth (or straight squashing).
How far have you got? Have you done RR 2001 or WM 17 yet?

That gif is the perfect display of how much Hogan had control over people. Mero, Sags, Macho, Mouth. I know it was probably for a segment, but I would not be surprised if Vader felt like he was dealing with clique BS
