Wrestling into his 60s and getting gassed during his intro will.

Not too hard on poor DM, now.

 

[Strax]

Who's Vader?

Lmao

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

Who's Vader?

[Heroman]

I see yaw talking shit about my boy and canry of the year Vader.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Lmfao lapsed Vince's impression of Nash is sooooo money

 

[Data West]

Data is super defensive because he's in denial that Vader senpai is an egotistical asshole who doesn't actually care about the business, just himself.

Why would I be super defensive over that? I've said for years that the more egotistical wrestlers are the better it is for pro wrestling in the longterm.

Unless you want Triple H and Vince to have a bunch of Yes Men lined up to kill themselves for some donuts.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

HHH's egotistical reign of terror led us to the Age of Spotfests and 50-50s we're currently in, so arguably that's more evidence against politicking and egotism

 

[Data West]

WWE's age of spotfests is because of Triple H. 50-50 is because nobody says 'mate that's fucking stupid i'm not going ot get any heat' because they are scared they'll get fired(when someone has ever been fired for not doing the job, i'd like to know)

like Ospreay is supposed to be Okada's boy. You want to be professional? Job to a master carny. You want to get that push? 'Vader is going to be here one night. I'm going to be here for the forseeable future. You put me over this hasbeen, I don't care what he says. Don't want to book me anymore? Fine by me, I can go to the Tokyo Dome, brother.'

Michael Cole preps Sasha Banks for commentary:

Nothing really controversial in that but cool to hear. Better than the ones where Cole gets yelled at.

 

[imBask]

Politicking worked in the past, doesn't mean it was the right thing to do. Turns out a lot of things in wrestling were wrong in the past. Like, most of it

 

[Data West]

Remember folks, if Bret Hart didn't say 'no', we'd be looking at Cowboy Bret Hart

except we wouldn't even remember him because he'd be jobbing and forgotten.

 

[Data West]

But fuck all that noise

WCW

IS

BACK

 

[Bluekaveli]

So Nash's son worked him.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Lmfao lapsed Vince's impression of Nash is sooooo money

An impression doing an impression.

In 2016.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Nash admitted he says the N word.

 

[Anth0ny]

osprey should have 100% said fuck that shit, i'm not working unless i go over

just like that old bitch threatened to do


would anyone have blamed him? it would have come out that vader locked himself in his hotel not wanting to do the job anyways.

 

[Zach]

Generally speaking, I'm actually having a pretty alright time watching 2001 WCW. Kinda sad.

 

[Data West]

Nothing sad about enjoying quality content.

 

[Man God]

1996>1995

1996>1997

1997>1998

1998>1999

2000>1999

2001>2000

Altogether I'd say....1996>1997>1995>1998>2001>2000>1999

 

[Zach]

Not sad about having a good time. Sad that it's getting better right before its demise.

Altogether I'd say....1996>1997>1995>1998>2001>2000>1999

1992 4 Life.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Sf, I give.

Fuck it.

 

[Data West]

I miss wrestling on Saturdays

 

[Zach]

Unfortunately, wrestling is available seven days a week, Data West.

 

[Zach]

But seriously, how magical was having to wait for wrestling to come on? Or not minding Mondays because OH MY GOD NITRO IS ON TONIGHT.

:')

(Where is Baby OwensIsNow to tell me I'm old?)

 

[Verendus]

So three HellCell matches at HellCell. It's pretty obvious Roman vs. Rusev will be the best one so why even bother with the other two? They should've made it a Ladder Match. At least have one match that is different.

 

[Heroman]

A ladder in the cell match , book it.

 

[Verendus]

A ladder in the cell match , book it.

I would be fine with this. The only weapon Roman and Rusev are allowed to use is a ladder. And they use it in many different ways. They need to really differentiate the matches if they're going to do three of them.

 

[Data West]

The WCW Saturday Night set is my favorite weekly TV wrestling set. Like people call it rinky dink or smalltime being in a studio but to me that made that shit look profesional, slick even. Plus they had that dope entrance which is still the coolest entrance in wrestling history barring some PPVs.

All iterations too. Set always looked good for Saturday Night.

 

[Zach]

The classic Nitro set, WCW Saturday Night, wacky Halloween Havoc, and the Clashes with the ramp are all the best things ever.

Oh, and Beach Blast/Bash at the Beach! So fun!

 

[Tagyhag]

Did anyone ever actually fight in the Halloween or beach set?

 

[Pikma]

Holy fucking shit this LA Park v Caristico cage match

The WCW Saturday Night set with the sliding mechanical doors is the GOAT entrance set for the GOAT show.

 

[Zach]

They certainly did. Time for you to begin your Halloween Havoc chronological journey. And then your Beach chronological journey when it starts warming up.

I imagine you have that setup for your walk-in bedroom closet, RBH.

 

[SallyIsNow]

Pretty sure I saw a ghost or something 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳

 

[Bluekaveli]

Nash said he would like to be George Michael. We have something in common lol.

But the funny thing is, in 93 he resembles him a lot with the glasses. Only if he had the strawberry blonde hair going on.

 

[Pikma]

Rey Escorpion!

 

[Man God]

Who is that coming down to the ring?

 

[Bluekaveli]

I just remembered that kotr 94 is the infamous art Donovan ppv. I guess I will turn up my volume just to hear macho man get annoyed.

Macho Man has the patience of a saint at that PPV. It's Go-rilla who is annoyed with him ten minutes in.

Toward the middle he gets really short worded with him and he even stops talking at one point lol! Good stuff.

 

[Pikma]

LA Park turned face and buried the shit out of Rey Escorpion

Crowd was lit tho, good shit

 

[Man God]

KOTR 1994 also has what I'd consider one of the best sub 4 minute matches I've ever seen in 1-2-3 Kid versus Owen Hart.

Are... are you watching everything again??

Who would you guys say is the worst wrestler who doubled as commentator?

 

[Data West]

Do you mean the worst as a wrestler or the worst as a commentator?

 

[Menome]

Pretty sure I saw a ghost or something 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳

Nah, that was just Vader gassed-out in the corner.

 

[Kurita]

Taz is kinda awful as commentator

 

[Cagey]

Who would you guys say is the worst wrestler who doubled as commentator?

It hearts my heart to name my spirit animal here, but...
