Observer reporting that due to being in Canada (a place he's not allowed to go to) for BFG and the next set of tapings, Cornette is done with iMPACT!

This is, of course, a problem because Cornette was brought in as the new onscreen authority figure at the start of the most recent tapings and is all over everything scheduled to air between now and then

Wait, like, he's banned from entering Canada? Is there a hilarious story behind this, or something?

Starrcade was WCW trash right?

It was the Wrestlemania of WCW/NWA.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Starrcade was WCW trash right?

Technically, it was NWA bloodsports first.

 

[Zach]

Did they do a new Bash at the Beach? Or were there talks of it or something? Am I misremembering?

 

[Recall]

Starrcade was WCW trash right?

There were more bad Starrcades than good.

You could say the same of Mania

have you seen the first few Manias vs the first few Starcades? Starcade blew them out of the park

He has a criminal record including a number of assaults involving fights with fans from back in the 80s. He's not allowed to cross the border

Last time he tried was like 2010

For the love of god someone get the LOLTNA Taimapedia up and running again. There's so much new content to add.

I just wish WCW had excellent main events to it's PPVs. So many main events were just horrible Hogan/lazy trash. So many.

You think Wrestlemania 17 and Canadian Stampede are average shows.

Did you give WCW WrestleWar 92 an A? It's the only way to redeem yourself Mr Zach.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Starrcade '84 is indeed pretty crummy. C for '85 seems awfully low though.

Is the + for '86 because of Nikita Koloff's wiener?

Giving WrestleMania I a B-

Imagine living that life

If it wasn't clear - Starrcade is a WWE Network special.

Hell yeah, good card also.

 

[Fox318]

How is Starrcade 85 a C?

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

Re-listening to Lapsed Fan '92 Rumble and it's one of the few I recall where JP is so positive and over about an event.

[Dj Convoy]

Heh. Look at Tony almost laugh!

 

[Cagey]

"Who is Zach. Who is Data West. Do you write things to them."

The wife said as she snooped at my phone screen on the counter before it auto powered off.

"Nah, I just read this for wrestling news."

Sorry😬

 

[Hasney]

Heh. Look at Tony almost laugh!

He really didn't want to get in trouble for corpsing again at that point.

 

[Hex]

Starcade should be a bigger deal than just an extended episode of Smackdown.
They should have busted out some Raw vs Smackdown matches.

Zach buddy WM 15 and 16 are pretty bad indeed but rating 11 better???

There has to be more to this story. There's nothing saying he can't just pre-record skits/promos and they just air them on their titantron

For what it's worth, he's also Jarrett's buddy and was brought in by Jeff during this run. Can't imagine what happened re: Jarrett's exit left Jim feeling comfortable or like sticking around much longer

It's just a fun fucking event.

It was new and I was excited!

I don't know what I do and why I do it.

Wieners gets big bonuses.

The greatest bump of our time

how could y'all talk best bumps and post yarder gifs without the goat

I hope that guy shattering his knees for no more than a 3 week old Mountain Dew at least enjoyed his Dew

 

[Fox318]

I honestly don't understand the mindset into taking bumps like that especially when you aren't getting paid.

Other sports have the element of competition being the thing that holds everything together such as in a fight or a wrestling match but when it comes to backyard and CZW shit I feel like I can't relate at all.

Isn't it still based on competition to get your name out there as an entertainer? Do the biggest death defying stunts so that you might get noticed.

But how am I supposed to get over it I don't let someone give me permanent brain damage?

How do it get this information to Cagey's wife?

I imagine you do it for the buzz. I've heard multiple name wrestlers say they miss their backyarder days.

I loved hearing about Neville doing shooting star presses off construction site fences.

The truth is out there

I listened to cornette talk about Jarrett leaving and he didn't really seem too bothered about it. He seemed pretty positive about helping build GFW up
