    The whole Angle/EC3 has got me wondering that if there's one match a promotion was so gung ho in doing, but unforeseen circumstances always stopped it from happening. Only ones I can think of are HHH vs Orton for WM and HBK vs Bret after WM12.

    So what is Lucha Underground. I skimmed that guys tl;dr post and I didn't come away with an understanding of what the show is. Is it wrestling with adult storylines or a tv show that just has wrestlers in it? U'm confrused.

    Eh, I just couldn't buy him as anything more than a mid-carder. Why give him the belt when Steiner was there?

    ReplyDelete
  41. Tom DawkingsJuly 1, 2015 at 6:58 PM

    Steiner is a guy who should be a long term heel monster champion. Jarrett is a guy who should be a quick transitional champion.


    Sure you might not like Jarrett personally, but Jarrett didn't tank business when he was champion in TNA. Jarrett/AJ Jarrett/Raven Jarrett/Monty Brown did pretty good business, but the problem was that Jarrett didn't put those guys over, but that's another discussion.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Jeremy RinehartJuly 1, 2015 at 7:02 PM

    Jarrett going over Monty was beyond stupid.

    Keep the belt on Sid until SuperBrawl, have Steiner win it and build to Steiner/Goldberg at Starrcade.

    I was surprised when the real James Brown did show up on PPV later on this year or next year. I can't remember if this was before his infamous doped up CNN interview or afterwards. Dude died in 2006 (I think) and wasn't buried for like five years due to people suing for the body. So he won't feeling so good anymore.

  52. kbwrestlingreviewsJuly 1, 2015 at 11:23 PM

    That's where I get annoyed with people who say WWE today is as bad as WCW was back then. If this was 1999/2000 WCW, Kane and Big Show would be feuding over the World Title with reigning champion HHH, who would never try. There would be no Cena, Bryan, Owens, Shield or Wyatt anywhere near the top of the promotion, save for maybe a few token appearances by one of them.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Garth Holmberg, C.C.July 1, 2015 at 11:33 PM

    If not for reading these recaps, I wouldn't believe a wrestling company could willingly and consistently be as bad as WCW was during their final years. WWE can be as stale as old bread, but hardly puts on programming that reaches embarrassing levels of awfulness.

    ReplyDelete
  54. kbwrestlingreviewsJuly 1, 2015 at 11:47 PM

    Indeed. Also, you get good to excellent matches in WWE to make up for some of their boring TV. If nothing else look at the Cena open challenges. Those things would NEVER be allowed on Nitro but they're a huge treat on Raw.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Tom DawkingsJuly 1, 2015 at 11:54 PM

    I don't like all the faults of the company at this time being put down on the promotion. All the faults of the company should fall on the head of one man during this time and that's Sullivan. He chose to push all the old fossils around this time. At least Russo somewhat attempted to push some of the new guard more.

    WWE never let Jarrett near the main. WCW put like 4 world titles on him.

  58. Charlie OwensJuly 2, 2015 at 12:12 AM

    I remember Steiner defending against Nash, and it took like a half-hour and every trick in the damn book for him to retain. That match should've been 10 minutes max and should've been Steiner beating Nash until he bleeds, then beating Nash just for bleeding.

    ReplyDelete
  59. EmpianJuly 2, 2015 at 3:00 AM

    Despite his personal demons, Scott Hall was over like hell here and throughout most of 2000 when Nash would constantly name drop him. Not that he wasn't ever over like hell but it just seemed the fans were really going to buy him as a World Champion contender just at the same time his personal life hit a brick wall.

    Also how WCW thought Jarrett World Champion was a better bet than Steiner World Champion nobody will ever know.

    Indeed. Yes, stupid decisions are made and the wrong people get pushed and there are shitty angles, but on the other hand you do have people rising above all that and making it a product which is occasionally worth watching. I'd argue that the in-ring product from the past few years has been among WWE's best ever, even though it's been impossible be emotionally invested in most of it.

    The baby would have turned out Japanese, at which point Mae would leave Mark Henry for Taka Michinoku. Then the feud would get dropped a month later and both would get repackaged.

    ReplyDelete
  63. kbwrestlingreviewsJuly 2, 2015 at 5:00 AM

    It's not that simple though. So much of WCW's issues are taking place because the company has been put in such a state that Sullivan was the only realistic stop gap option. He hasn't helped things, but he didn't have much left. When you lose the four young guys in one night, you don't have much to pick from.

    From what I heard, he was asking for up front kickbacks for money he would have eventually received in theory. Besides, it is God's money - it belonged to Him first. I'm only a steward of God's money. I know Jarret isn't s believer, so I can't used the Christian Worldview on him, but seriously he was asking for his cut on money he would have eventually gotten in theory. He blackballed the company to pay him "his" money up front. Even Jesse had to go to court to do that.

    I don't buy the whole Radicalz destroyed WCW theory. It hurt them sure, but WCW still had a fairly talented roster and new guys to groom and push. I'm sure Heyman would have killed to have worked with the young guys in WCW during this period.

    ReplyDelete
  73. kbwrestlingreviewsJuly 2, 2015 at 10:47 PM

    I don't think it killed them but I do think it was what finished WCW for good. You can't lose that much talent all at once and then just throw together a bunch of new stars. There were some pieces there, but that's too big of a hit all at once.
