Weird things I dream about:
Playing baseball in a 3D gym with John Krasinski, who got pissed and sent home because he couldn't watch a game on one of the 300 TVs in this god damn SHIELD-like facility. Thought we'd lose for sure without him...but then we played basketball and dominated the other time. Time for the school assembly meeting, where I greeted on Dean Ambrose with a putter and told him his friend got sent home. "Graski?" Then we all had to write some paper about something stupid that I can't remember.
Trying to find a box of pictures/patio decorations. I never found them, but I did find a few 80s PWI and late 90s WCW magazines and a bunch of empty beer cans someone hid in the attic. One of them had Scott Steiner on the cover and I was excited to have something to look at while I poop.

that score though
I had a dream where WCW Monday Nitro never died, but it's TV budget was cut in half. So they had to use the old Nitro set, and re-hire all the old broken down wrestlers from their past. Oh, and it isn't aired at 8:00 PM, instead it's aired at 3:00 AM, and every single commercial that is shown during the break is a Valvoline ad.

am I the only one who
ain't watching wwe right now~
So you had a dream about TNA?
I made that joke after I woke up, but still in the back of my mind I wanted the dream to be a reality anyway.
Then some face would end up bringing in Wade.
Probably prefer Conan being brought in than Leno at least.
You're worked to the bone. Bryan did want to get the surgery ASAP so he could come back sooner, the doctors told him to wait instead (now it's looking like he will need it after all and they wasted two months of his time). Him not wanting it was solely a storyline made up for the show.
Even that's not the whole story, since he actually DID have a surgery. The show just pretends he got injured and then got acupuncture instead.
It also depicts him as broke, having to borrow money from Cena and having to budget his wife so she doesn't but a 3 dollar cup of coffee when he's not around.

Dear Strobogo:
As a longtime WCW fan I was curious, with all of the WCW you've seen - the bad and the good - who would you consider 5 MVPs that helped you get through the Nitro years?

Pretty sure Bryan is a millionaire at this point, given he's main evented WM, sold a lot of merch, and doesn't spend any money.

Yep, pretty crazy how I still look at him as a filthy poor despite knowing he's making money. He just looks so poor.
Remember Tracy?
Brock's selling during that match is HOF tier. Dude was born to be a professional wrestler.
Rey, Kanyon, Booker, Goldberg, Flair. If we're not including cruisers as a whole. Because Dean/Eddie/Benoit definitely deserve to be on the list. And Juvi. And Kidman.
You could always expect something cool and fun from Rey. You could always expect Kanyon to either be hilarious, do a cool ass move, or die to make his opponents look good. Booker was DOPE as fuck in 1998 and kind of the defacto best guy once the Radicalz all left. You could always expect Goldberg to REK FOOLS. You could always expect Flair to be god damn crazy.

I enjoyed Kanyon during his "Innovator of Offense" period, post-Mortis pre-Positive. I loved how the crowd would respond to Flair. Completely insane, and a lot of it was because WCW ran most of their shows in Flair Country and the surrounding spots.
Shit, the crowd is one of the best things of Nitro.
Yeah, his beard and hair needs some work so he doesn't look like a homeless bum. I know it's his "gimmick" or whatever, but honestly I don't think it's why the crowd got behind him. I'd say the crowd actually got behind him despite his looks, not because of it.
And it's not like the merchandising is that great either (granted, that Funko Pop! looks cool doe), the respect the beard shirt was awful, just put a bunch of Yes!'s on a shirt and done.
Yes. But only because I just listened to the Review a Wai about No Mercy 2002 where they mention the Brock/Tajiri match and I had to look it up. They make a humorous analogy about her being the 2002 version of Daniel Bryan's physical therapist.
I love the high step stumble when Rey dropkicks him. That match actually worked very well because it made Mysterio/Edge look amazing while also showing off Brock's strength. I did laugh at Cole calling Undertaker an "emotional freight train."
The only period of Kanyon I'm not particularly into was when he got really serious right at the end of WCW. It was hard to believe him as some super hard ass after Champag Ne Kanyon and Positively Kanyon. I have nightmares of that chair shot on SMOOV. Hit the dude so hard he broke his own hand.
Shame that the travel schedule is so insane for the business.
Performers would be i so much better shape if they only had to do 2 TV shows a week instead of adding the promo and house show to their schedules.

I loved the occasional hoss match on Nitro. Unlike the WWF at the time they didn't tell those guys to ease up on the reckless lariats, and power bombs. Also the monster jobbers like Ron Studd, Road Block, and Rick Fuller got me to switch over to Nitro to see them take huge bumps for the top stars.

Yeah, they really need to dial down their schedule to be honest.
Not a lot of things are better in life than a true Faces of Fear squash. I think Meng was a garbage solo dude and usually sucked in real tag matches, but a FoF squash is just magical. I have to admit to kind of liking Mongo in the ring, too. He wasn't good, but he was 100% game and tried his hardest at all times.

I can appreciate that he came to the game late in life, far past his athletic prime, but never gave less than 100%. What's more insane than Barb's boots were his top rope over head belly to bellies.
He was fine. Mongo was at his best when he was just acting as the muscle during Horseman matches, with his trusty Halliburton.
Also, holy fuck this match happened...
Tugboat vs. Roadblock

Brock Lesnar has always been a great seller. Almost surprisingly so.
It's a finisher that needs to be done by a guy who's ripped or has a Mike Tyson build. I could see Ryback making it work but he'd likely legit break jaws.
Roadblock running the ropes
Tugboat's kicks
Lovely loose ring ropes
Elbow drops
It's so beautiful...
Big Show's punch should never have been a finisher; it would be a lot better if it just knocked them silly, allowing for a follow-up chokeslam or Final Cut (lol).
Loooooool. I wondered if Tugboat had given Roadblock a hand me down singlet or something. Roadblock got fat as shit in a hurry.
It looked good when he first started using it in 2008. Then he made it lazy as shit with in a year or two.
Gotta lotta gifs from Halloween Havoc 1996 and I'm not even to the main event. Barb CHUCKING Benoit from the top almost to the Slim Jim logo in the other corner. HD 2SPOOKY4ME fingers from Hall. A Stevie Ray stare. Random DoD in the crowd looking ridiculous. Super Dr. Bomb from TMF. Double J dropkicking Giant in the face twice. Macho Man playing with a giant Slim Jim.
