• Gene Okerlund interviewed Rick Steiner. As Steiner started to talk about his brother, Chucky from "Child's Play" came over the
airing, laughing once again. He finally started to talk and made fun of Steiner, saying he's been playing with dolls all his life, etc.
The segment was basically used to hype up "Chucky's" new movie, "Bride of Chucky." Chucky said that Scott Steiner was
going to be in one of his movies and that Rick had better not mess with him.

And then a million people turned over to Raw. :lol!
 
Just visit Wrestlecrap for further evidence. Better yet, pick up their book!

Yeah, and what was worse was the smart-allecky tone in which he said it. As if he single-handedly ruined the WWF's championship.

ahh that was when the wwf, yeah i said it.....wwf, was at its best....creative and crawling back to the top. once wcw sank so did the creative "writing" team of the wwf.


one of my fav angles was also the kurt angle, steph, and hhh love triangle. but that had no payoff.....it was built up so beautifully.
 
Just found the transcript:

(Ricky and Mean Gene are standing in the ring, discussing why Rick's gonna fight his brother Scott.)

RICK: No I don't, Gene.And I'll tell you, my brother's brought this on himself and this has been coming for a long long time, Gene.
(Suddenly Chucky's distinctive psychotic laughter echos through the auditorium. Rick and Jean look about astonished)

GENE: What the devil?
(Chucky's image appears on an enormous screen behind the two. He is still laughing insanely. The audience turn around,
craning their necks. Rick and Mean Jean also turn around to see what's making this frightening laughter)

GENE: What the - ? Get that dummy outta there!! We're trying to conduct an interview!

RICK: Who's that??Who the heck is that?

(Chucky continues to laugh madly)

GENE: Shut him up, please! Give it a rest!

RICK: Who IS this dummy?

(Chucky stops laughing slowly)

CHUCKY: Hey - Q Ball - who you calling a dummy? You're standing there next to a genetic throwback who barks at the moon - I'm doing
love scenes with Jennifer Tilly - and you're calling me a dummy?

GENE: Go on, say it again. Yeah we call ya a du-

RICK: Yeah, you're a dummy.

CHUCKY: What's the matter? For a guy who never shuts up you sure don't got alot to say "Mean Gean"

GENE: Well now.. just a second here, Chucky....

CHUCKY: Shut the Hell up

(The audience's roars and cheers at this)

RICK: I wouldn't let him talk to ya like that....

CHUCKY: I didn't come here to talk to you, anyway. I came here to talk
to that idiot standing next to ya.

RICK: Hey, bring yer raggedy rear end down here, you got somethin to say to me!

CHUCKY: You'd like that wouldn't you,Ricky? You've been playing with dolls all your life, at least that's what your mother tells
me.

(Rick looks insulted, Gene shocked and the audience goes "ooooh")

GENE: oh please

CHUCKY: But I'm not your type.You need a kinder, gentler, dumber doll. Me - I'd let you know what it's like to
have your head twisted off, your arms and legs bent and broken - and when I'm done with you - I'd let the
dogs chew on you like some old shoe.How would ya like that,
"Rickyyyyy"?

(audience cheers once again)

RICK: You got somethin to say - you say it! You don't got nothin to
say, then get the heck outta here!

CHUCKY: I'm here to tell everyone that if they wanna see a real pro at work they should go and see my new movie,
Bride of Chucky, opening October 16. And I got some advice for you too, Ricky - DON'T MESS WITH SCOTT! Ya see,
what I really wanna do is direct, and Scott's the lead in my new project. So if you mess with Scott, you mess with me and
my Academy Award.And Chucky's gonna get more than lucky,Ricky. Chucky's gonna get even! (Chucky breaks
into his insane laughter again, ignoring Jean and Ricky as they protest, he dissapears off screen)

GENE: That's insanity! That's lunacy!!

RICK: Do you know who did this Jean?Is my brother responsible for this? What's he tryin to do?

GENE: I dont' know what to tell ya Rick. We're outta here

And god, what about the Mad TV/Bret Hart feud? Or KARL MALONE?
 
The best was someone else's (maybe Tony himself) followup line. "Yeah, that will put asses in the seat".


If you think about WCW and how inept they were, its amazing to think how they lucked out with the nWo angle and the emphasis on Lucha matches. It was a minor miracle. Because EVERYTHING else they did was shit.
 
WCW stands for tradition!!!

Oh god I hated the wcw announcing crew..I wanted to punch them all in the balls...they even made bobby heenan the greatest heel ever into a pussy.

WCW arguably had the finest roster of wrestling talent in the modern era towards the end of '98 in terms of names, athletes and technical wizards, and they somehow managed to fuck it all up. It's an extraordinary story.

Dude, the Stunner is a complete pussy move compared to the Diamond Cutter - the stunner just jars your neck, DDP slams you face first into the ground!!!

oh man I was a total WCW mark, I hardly ever watched WWF until Kurt Angle came into it and WCW went compeletely down in the tubes

Thing is they did a similar thing earlier (spoil the RAW main event) years earlier and it worked, but that was when WCW was moving up and WWF was 'lame'. And it worked. But this time it had the opposite effect because WCW was the one going stale, and Mick Foley had become mega popular as the underdog that would do anything to win no matter what cost to his body, people wanted to see him finally get the title. They really didn't think that one out.

Yes IIRC they gave away the eintire show.....damn it was like 6 or seven matches.....now were lucky if we get two
 
I prefered the rings in WCW. I was a total WWF fanboy back then, 1996 till 2001. 5 Glorius years of pro wrestling finest moments
 
Robocop was also in El Invader #1's corner along with Hector Macho Camacho at the 1990 WWC Anniversary show. I was there to see it live.

Yeah, the Diamond Cutter is much more impressive in comparison to Orton's shitty RKO which he pulls off in the lamest way possible.

WCW OWNED.

lmfao @ Tony Shcosafuaoisdfjuf90e085 spoiling WWF stuff, that was hilarious, and he was always hating on Mick. :boo



JAY LENO :lol
Leno?? What about him? Wasn't Dennis Rodman in this mess at one point?

DCX
 
OMG!! WCW was the NBA Jam of wrestling! Has a president been involved in a hardcore match with the tax relief on the line?

Please tell me you don't actually think DDP copied Austin to get the Diamond Cutter.
 
The Leno thing was hialrious because Leno pinned Bishoff to win, but when he pinned him, he hooked the leg, put his arm around the back of his neck so high that Bishoff's shoulders were up. So stupid :lol
 
Actually, they all ripped off John Laurantis (Johnny Ace, who is now the boss of just about every WWE wrestler now.)

WCW owned. Part of the business died when WCW died.
 
I remember when they jacked up Goldberg's win streak near the end to get it over 100 before he lost to Hogan. I was like "He did have that many wins before!" every single match :lol

Worse is when he was feuding with Sid, Sid suddenly had a 70 win streak going. Did he actually have that streak? No, he lost a few weeks earlier. But that's okay, his fans are idiots, no one will notice or care. His win streak number would change randomly in the same episode, the announcers would say one number, he would say a different number in the interview, etc etc :lol
