Him fucking over Kane put him into permanent Heel territory. It was bananas considering how well loved he was before then.
d) Random Kevin Sullivan lead booking team that they used during the transitions that were actually worse than Russo and Nash combined.

Agreed. A legitimately hype booking idea. Although they did nothing with Hall winning it.

"They were all weirdos man, you should have seen it."
I mean, royal rumbles have never been good as matches. They're always about the endings and the participants. And the ending of WW3 97 was great and felt like it got everyone over in the final 4 and got Sting over without even keeping him in the match. Too bad where it all went. Hogan being Hogan makes him an amazing kayfabe heel champion, but Hogan being Hogan also makes him an awful guy for putting storyline focus elsewhere.
I also realized after posting it that was the third WW3. So only the last one is truly awful.
The matches are worse than RR's because surprises and the order matters. You can get more storylines over with that shit. Start new feuds, have heels get favorable/unfavorable match slots, elimination angels, all sorts of good. WW3 was just...boring until the last minute.

They never start new feuds though. It's always one-offs that lead to like a squash match on Raw. Everything else is either a non-feud or a feud that already existed that they use to quickly eliminate both combatants from the ring.
At least WW3 looked awesome.
I don't know if I can sit through all these 80s Starcades. Network is running Steamboat/Austin right now tho

Yo, is that Neville's new gimmick?
Imagine an alt reality where X-pac eventually gets so over they put the world title on him.

Nash coming down as Sting was dumb as shit. After he hits the ground everyone but commentary knows it's Nash.

The UK Politics Thread has been one of the best threads on GAF for a while (until the results came in). There were so many helpful people that were ready to provide links and information so you could make your own mind up. The discussions were pretty interesting too, bouncing ideas and policies off each other and what it could mean. However what happened after the result came in was really embarrassing, and really it sort of shows (sadly) how viscous people can be on the internet when they don't get what they want.
Part of me thinks if Labour had won none of the CONs would have reacted like it was the end of the world and personally attacked other posters for not sharing the same beliefs as them.
Ghost!
Welcome along my Rocksmith Brother!If Scott Hall and the Kid had stayed clean and in WWF? Yep, could have happened.

I think the most baffling thing about Sting is when he was Crow Sting he always had that vest in all the promo material, but he NEVER wrestled in it.
This is also the only good Crow Sting look
That was the best Sting face paint.

That's because he never wrestled much as Crow Stang. Hell Fake Stang wrestled more during that era. Then when he returns to Black and White after leaving the Wolfpac he's basically surfer sting only black and white until the Vampiro feud.

Hell, didn't Sting not have an in-ring match between War Games '96 and Starrcade '97? I don't think any company would have the balls to do that kind of shit nowadays.
Sting's one of those guys that I really liked as a kid and then when I grew up it was kind of like, 'Eh, I don't know about this Sting guy.'
Unlike Scott Hall who I have liked all the way back when he was Razor when I didn't watch WWF and probably appreciate even more as an adult.

Some NXT, first time in a while I can remember someone getting beat down backstage. Good work Dub Bros. Is Dash Wilder and that other dude just going to be The Bears or what?.
Becky Lynch is a cool chick. Sasha Bae'ks is the shit though. Liked how the refs where more concerned with the tables condition when it was tipped over than the two going at it.

Starrcade 1997 is the biggest wasted moment in the history of Wrestling. You've got Sting, who has laid out the NWO at pretty much every turn and the only man who Hogan ever feared level hype. You have Bret Hart, coming off of literally the biggest moment in wrestling, with the perfect set up for him to right the wrongs that were suffered by him. You have a perfect set up for breaking up the NWO into the Wolfpac if you still want to do that. You have two world class level potential feuds in Bret versus Stang and Bret versus Hogan. and then...Hogan wins via a not fast at all fast count, making Bret look like a fool after making Stang look like a fool in the ring.

Don't know about WCW, but I think I remember hearing that he was offered the WWF Title a couple of times and declined.
Scott Hall looks like someone you'd give the title to. He's the total package, the real one. He's charismatc as all hell, he's one of the better wrestlers of the time period especially for his size, he's huge and in good shape, he's good looking, he's cool, he's got great moves and is over everywhere he goes.
Him squashing Lenny and Lodi by himself was way more entertaining than any other squash I've seen.

They were originally going to do the blowoff at Great American Bash '97, but it was so big they stretched it out 'til Starrcade. Of course, the only reason they had Sting go out originally is he had used up all his dates by Fall Brawl '96, so WCW stupidity worked for them, once...almost.

Lucha, my fave fret-fondling masked man! Good to see you! I thought turning to WrassleGaf was appropriate after our nation's voters went full BWO on Thursday.

It's funny, because the number of tag teams that have ripped off Young Bucks spots over the years is kinda nuts.

haha I now need to see a badly photoshopped BWO with Tory faces, with a LibDem JOB Squad. No idea what faction Labour would be, probably a punch of Kanes.
But I was just starting to like you.

It really was a shame because dude was over as hell during that period. I think the fans were legit pissed at the fact that Hall kept getting the snubbed because of fucking Hogan.
I say it before and I'll say it again. FUCK HOGAN.
Dude been a walking ID4 mothership to professional wrestling since 94.

If that's true, we need to thank Vince for his awesome promos that really made Roman seem more intelligent than he actually is.
