The people TNA are bringing in are generally cheap (by celebrity standards), aren't involved in main event angles, or treated as bigger than the main stars. In other words, a random girl from the Jersey Shore isn't closing Impact.
WCW on the other hand wasted millions and acted like minor celebrities were big stars (hello David Arquette)

During the Rodman/Savage feud, they brought in Arli$$ from the propular HBO show at the time. They had him play Arli$$ in character, representing Rodman. It was pretty fucking foolish.
Actually, Savage and Gorgeous George showed up at a random Nitro in October 1999 after Vince Russo took over. It was his first appearance since this show. Savage cut a promo that basically said you can't keep him away forever and he was looking to pass the torch to somebody. Of course, he never showed up again until that random Thunder in May 2000 and then went away forever.

That's the ENTIRE reason I remembered it.
I think I can get behind this Impact365 thing.

Yep. I can definitely get behind that.

That ass is unreal
I remember being given a kidman toy as a gift when I was younger that locked in position and then popped making it do a shooting star.
It never fucking worked but it was at least faithful to Kidmans actual shooting stars.
She's in love with him.

First off, the idea of Ric Flair eating pussy is absolutely disgusting.

WCW Thunder 7/15/99
After 4 months, Thunder still hasn't changed their opening or stage besides adding the new logo.
Vampiro vs Van Hammer
Poor Vamp. Somehow, despite being completely unknown and not winning any matches, he's always weirdly over. WCW isn't doing anything with him. Not every guy needs a real angle or storyline, but he isn't even getting a winning streak or even impressive outings kind of push. He's just one of those guys in WCW that is over and none of the people in charge pay attention to. And he isn't even getting matches with guys that COULD give him a good match. Rick Steiner, Hammer, and Konnan? Vamp won with a leg lace roll up. He then got his ass kicked after the match. So his first feud is going to be with Hammer? Poor Vamp.
Rick Fuller vs Sick Boy
Sick Boy has a completely different look, with trunks and bleach blond hair. If he had shaved, he'd look like Dolph Ziggler's big brother. This sucks. Fuller's hair line has regressed significantly since the start of the year. This is a Saturday Night match at best. Definitely shouldn't be on Thunder, at least not as long as it has gone on for. Rick Fuller won. No one gave a flying fuck. In fact, the Saturday Night card sounded way better. This match would have been out of place on Saturday Night.
BA/Chase Tatum/SWOLL vs Dave Taylor/Fit FInlay/Steve Regal
Maybe the NLS aren't done. Or maybe this was taped before BATB. Chase Tatum is some jacked up white guy in the group. If I'm not mistaken, I believe he was a masked dude who faced DDP on Thunder in 1998 and was so bad that they completely dropped him as a character. The Superstar or something super generic like that. He only wrestled for about 2 years and it left him addicted to painkillers, which he accidentally overdosed on in 2008. I'm sure he never got a 10 bell salute anywhere. Much like his life, this angle is dead. This match should be dead. SWOLL pinned Dave Taylor with his stupid kung fu thing that looks like shit, but black people of a certain age love kung fu, so more power to him I guess.
Recap of Sting challenging Flair for control of WCW. The whole segment. And then the end of Sting vs David, which was basically the whole thing anyway.
Bobby Eaton vs David Flair WCW US Championship
I really don't get the point of this push for David. I get that it is supposed to be funny and get X-Pac heat, but there can be no pay off. If David loses or gets his ass kicked...well of course, he isn't even a real wrestler. If he wins over someone via shenanigans, well, he isn't a real wrestler so it's stupid. Ric went full strip club by shoving bills in Bobby's tights. When Bobby didn't immediately take a dive, he went back over to Ric for more money. He went for the Alabama Jam. Asya laid in his place and Bobby wouldn't do the move. She then low blowed him and the second time accidentally hit Ric as well. Figure four for the win. Ric doing something ridiculous is really the only reason to watch Thunder.
Recap of various matches from Nitro.
Mikey Whipwreck vs Kidman
Mikey definitely shouldn't be wrestling since he had a legit concussion from the junkyard bullshit that was even mentioned on air. No one should be wrestling days after a concussion. This was Mikey's debut match back in March. He's had probably 6 matches on TV since then. I'm pretty sure this show was recorded before the PPV, because I believe Mikey wasn't able to work for the rest of his WCW contract due to the concussion and that was his last match. Maybe. I don't know. I don't care. This dudes a fucking nerd wearing nerd dragon shirts. I bet he plays D&D and has a fedora. He did a pretty sweet DDT, but that was mostly because Kidman really liked to see how much he could spike himself on his head. As it turns out, YOU CAN'T POWERBOMB KIDMAN YOU FAT FUCKING NERD. Kidman wins.
Recap of Savage/Hogan from Nitro.
Rap is Crap video.
Jersey Triad vs Barry Windham/Curt Hennig WCW Tag Team Championships
This fucking cunt, doesn't he realize that he doesn't need to say "former" before he says TWO TIME TWO TIME TWO TIME champion? That's implied. Triad DDP reminds me of Miz. The Rednecks can also switch guys out during the match now. So this is basically a 3 on 4 handicap match with 7 heels. And it ended in a double DQ.
DQ Count: 1 out of 6 matches.

Miley's ass looks like a mutilated crab claw. Shit is disgusting.
Does anyone here use wrestling terms outside of wrestling. I know Sunflower errr Shao Kah......I mean umm Vinny Mac had created those stupid ass threads that were fucking hilarious
I constantly use wrestling terms when I'm at work and it pisses my coworkers off.
Giant body builder women were in in the late 90s.
I've used "marked out" or "I'm a mark for" quite a few times and didn't even realize it, but most people immediately understand it as geeked out or fan of.
I wonder how things would have gone down if Rey and Kidman were able to jump with the Radicalz. They both wanted out of their contracts, as did Konnan and Shane Douglas (who had just fucking started in WCW to begin with). Rey/Kidman/Benoit/Eddie/Saturn/Douglas/Konnan all wanted out around the same time that Raven actually got let out of his contract. They all tried at the same time that Bischoff let Raven go, but he wouldn't let them out of their contracts. By the time 2000 rolled around, Bischoff was out and the new guy went ahead and let the Radicalz out, but still wouldn't let Kidman and Rey go. Shane and Konnan changed their minds when they realized that the WWF wouldn't hire them back.

love giant bodybuilder women
Chyna, Asya, Nicole Bass, Mrs. Cleavage, maybe one or two other ones. There were more bodybuilder women than black or Asian women in WWF/WCW in the Attitude Era.

Shit, the only Asian diva I know of is Gail Kim. Were there any others?

I remember the buffed out black woman named Midnight in late-1999 that caused Harlem Heat to break up again...
Kimona Wanaleya/Leia Meow, Leilani Kai, Jumping Bomb Angels, Bull Nakano, and at least one other Asian female wrestler I'm forgetting who lasted long enough to get their name known.
That is entirely a subject I know nothing about.
Women's wrestling? That I can tell you about and give you a link to matches.

Also I guess the Wrestlemania match. http://www.wwe.com/videos/wendi-ric...omens-championship-match-full-length-26098566
Thanks Ken!
Kenzo Suzuki's wife Hiroko? She wasn't a diva per se but she was there for a while. Only other one I can think of was an ECW announcer/interviewer who was fired by WWE when it was discovered she appeared topless in a movie.
You're thinking of Kaylani Lei.
Angela Fong. Which is pretty funny considering they let Su Yung(?) date fucking gross old man Lalwer but OH NO TOPLESS IN FILM
honest mistake I swear. I'm not even into porn star names and it just was a wild guess. I'm not a Plywood I promise.
Wow I was just watching a video of Jessica Nigri and someone sent her a gigantic perverted moe big breasted girl statue thing.
Jessica is great though. Unlike YOU AJ.
After seeing that Kidman botch, I needed to take my mind off it with a glorious SSP.

After that piss poor AA that Cena landed on Sandow Monday, I started to think how lame of a finisher it really is.
It's really just a shitty version of Brock's F5.
Aries brainbuster is a much better finisher

Good morning.
Seems like a good time to complain more about SONY!
So I got a PSN+ membership because I heard it was a good deal, and you know what.... it is. Sadly I've run out of space on my hard drive. So here I go, off to delete some games.
So I pick a game and hit delete. "Please Wait". Ok, I can wait a few seconds.
5 minutes later, still deleting!!!!!!!!! WTF!
So I said fuck this and played Xbox (where it takes one second to do these things). These days game time is at a premium and I don't have time to wait for long installs or deletions.
I sure hope the new PS4 OS is worth a damn.
