in 1997 WCW averaged over 80 wrestlers signed each month.

12 PPVs plus Clash of the Champions
3-4 Disney Studio Shows ( WCW Pro, WCW WorldWide, WCW Main Event, WCW Prime
WCW Saturday Night
2+ hours of Nitro

They needed a roster that big.

For the content WWE and since they run so many damn house shows they should have close to double if not more people.
 
The Social Outcasts before Orton........
Rightfully so.

I know Chavo talked about them having so many people and most of them you'd only see on worldwide. Maybe only ONCE on WW then the rest is history.

I think if Eric Bischoff will make a cameo appearance to bid for the GM job before the draft, it might be on the July 11th Raw.

1) I'll be there.

2) Detroit raised the roof when Shane came back earlier this year. So, why not another return of someone famous for the Detroit crowd?

Last night's RAW was the perfect example of why 3 hours is just too much. Cut a few of the earlier tonight's, cut natty, and cut titus segments and that raw would be a winner
 
I honestly thought outside of the oddly dead crowd, the bizarre dropping of the Becky-Summer match, and the weird story just to set up Cena vs Rollins and Ambrose vs Styles, last nights Raw was pretty good.

I love how they're doing the two hour Raws in 1997. The show is focused on the main event feuds. Notice I said feuds, plural. However there are segments with the other wrestlers but you still don't see everyone in the undercard every week.

I think they can keep three hours, just give us more of a compelling story with the main event feuds and throw in a mix of the undercard each week.

Zach has my vote, easy. Sephzilla's list is a little too...I don't know what.

Zach has the important, interesting players with plenty of room to move around. Rusev. Shinsooky. Dana Brooke. Future is bright.
 
On Scott Hall's new DVD Vince talks about fake Razor & Diesel and I think it's the closest you'll ever get to Vince outright saying "I was such an idiot, no idea what I was thinking". Also, there's a few Dusty clips that were probably some of the last things he recorded, which was cool to see.
