Shame we probably will never get those on the network.
Did you know that those WCW pre-shows were 2 hours long!? So technically if you ordered the PPV you would get a 5 hour PPV.
The amazing part about it was the fact it was 5 hours of WRESTLING...and not 3 and the half of bullshit segments.
WCW= GOAT

The truth hurts, friend.
Paul Heyman = Good Booker; Shitty Businessman
Yep...I still can't get over the Bubba Ray UPS story xD. Paul can book a match in his sleep but can't pay the waterboy 20 cents on time.

That preshow sort of helped make the PPV good though as other 1996 PPVs had those sorts of matches buried somewhere in the actual show. This one just takes everyone you don't want to see and puts them on TBS.

Just wrestling??? No wonder wcw went out of business, that's how you know the WWE was really shitty if WCW was beating them in the ratings
Yeah. People have always bitched about PPVs always ending 10-15 minutes early, but has there ever been a PPV that after 2 hours and 45 minutes that you're really not ready for it to end? 3 hours of just about anything is too long. 3 hour concert. 3 hour movie. 3 hour ball game. 3 hour wrestling show. Too much.
I don't know? I like the randomness of WCW's undercard, and I'm sure seeing Double A DDT Hugh Morris straight to hell in under 40 seconds is worth 9.99.
Also let's not forget the positive here. These dudes got paid for their 3 minute cameos. Unlike today...

3 hour wrestling is just crazy outside of PPV's. When people first asked me how long Raw was and I told them from 8 to 11 they looked at me like I was nuts

If anyone wants a decent write-up of the history of FMW with some rare photos
http://fmwwrestling.us/FMWHistory.html
Not a lot of details about the real shady side of it, unsurprisingly. But it's still got some good stuff about that weird, weird promotion.

A little Sunny bird told me that this month is nWo month. Let me just see if I can find a suitable avatar for this event.
At least the Yes chant has a degree of positivity to it. All "What" does is kill any potential heat from whatever superstar is doing their promo.
And here's another rant from watching old hardcore wrestling. It's directed at WWE in particular. If you're not gonna hit dudes in the head with a chair? Don't bother using fucking chairs. The 'hit them in the stomach then hit them in the back' shit continues to just say FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE THIS IS FAKE FAKE. If you're worried about concussions, then just don't use chairs. Because that shit looks so awful. If you're wailing on a dude while they're down on their stomach, hitting them in the back makes sense. But fuck the stomach/back shot bullshit. Stop doing it. Even the 'nail them in the face with the edge of the chair' is safe and looks a hundred times better
Reminds me of Triple H and his fucking sledgehammer. You're gonna get em real good by hitting them with your hand around the back of the sledgehammer, dude.

My problem with the chairs is an entirely different one tbh. It's the fact that the blatant plastic looking and most of all sounding chairs are still being sold to us as steel chairs.
They are plastic, plastic, they couldn't be more plastic if they tried. Especially in HD that shit just doesn't fly. Stop it.

Chairs and weapons altogether are pointless. So are cage matches and plenty of other gimmick matches.
They won't let guys juice making any of these gimmicks mean very little. Sure you can have a cage match without blood but it makes it just another match.
I'm not one who needs buckets of blood but some blood helps make the match better.
Edit: And fuck kendo sticks those are the worst.

What plastic chairs are being used on WWE TV? Show me video, stills, or illegal gif evidence of this.

She's being a savvy business woman. I'm sure Daniel doesn't mind.
This is why you get a prenup Daniel.
