Which I think is why he was always so compelling, the fact that he had as much respect in the locker room to have guys say "Yeah, lets go out there and do it pretty much for real" is not something you would find very much today. Who garners that kind of clout now? Maybe Sheamus? Anybody else?

Man. I saw an interview with Foley talking about their match on SNME (I think?) where he and Vader had a hardcore match. He basically told Vader to just keep punching him square in the nose until it broke so he could bleed and it would look better.

I know it's Foley and he's a nut job, but there's that.

Yeah most of those aren't up. They do have a few throwback shows uploaded in their library but you can't just follow the whole product week-to-week on there in order for a long period of time.

Reminds me of that SNME match during the Steamboat-Jake feud where Jake was told to DDT Steamboat on the concrete outside the ring. Jake refused, said it was too dangerous. Steamboat insisted that he do it, and that if it legit knocked him out and gave him a concussion then so be it. And that's exactly what happened.

That match is uncomfortable to watch.

@PJ - Yeah it's mostly just ppvs. Although the first 9 eps of RAW are uploaded and all of RAW and SD! for 2013 is uploaded and some eps of 2014.

WCW 1992 is probably the best year ever for a US wrestling promotion not named ROH.

What's on Havoc 93 besides Vader/Cactus (which I thought was bad)

Rhodes/Austin
Regal/Davey
too cold-Bagwell/Nasty Boys
Rude/Flair

A pretty damn good lineup.

I would expect that weekly episodes will be added down the line. It wouldnt surprise me if that hits right around the 5 month mark to draw people in for another 6 months until the next WM to draw people in for another 6 months. If they play it right and release 93-98 Raw and Nitro in 5 months and then the rest of raw/Smackdown/Nitro/Thunder in a year and a half, they can have people like us on the hook for 2 years

Will watch that ppv when I wake up. Rude/Flair sounds especially intriguing. I remember they fought over the International belt or w/e it was called but never saw any of it.

Also already starting a list of must see ppv matches. Is that best to post in here or a new thread? I don't care if people add or argue with me that some matches aren't that good.

There's very little on WM 17 that isn't good.

Angle-Benoit, TLC I, Shane-Vince, Rock-Austin are all musts on that card. Jericho-Regal is pretty good; so is the Show/Kane/Raven hardcore triple threat. Gimmick battle royal is fun comedy if you're a fan of pre-Attitude WWF. You can basically just watch the whole thing.

Either way IMO. I'm in for discussing this whether it's here or in its own thread.

I love Show/Kane/Raven. Lot of really cool spots in that much, plus Big Show's old theme >>>>>>>>> the theme he uses now.

OMG the start to SuperBrawl 1997 is amazing. Piper "escapes" Alcatraz to come fight Hogan and of course Schivaone says this will be the biggest night in the history of our sport.

God, it speaks volumes about WCW that I snap-believed that Dylan post. And I'm guessing it's true.

WrestleMania XIV was a very solid show, better than what I remembered. HBK battling through to the end of his Austin match might not be on the same level as HHH tearing his quad and telling Jericho to put him in the Walls of Jericho anyway, but it's damn impressive after the awful-looking bump he took to an already-injured back early in the match.

Mero/Sable vs. Goldust/Luna is actually quite entertaining, HHH vs. Owen is very solid...nothing else really stands out, but basically nothing on this card was just outright bad either. Maybe the company's turning point really did hit simultaneously with strapping Austin for the first time. On with 1998 I go.

I'm going to continue watching lolWCW moments. Currently watching Road Wild 1998. I wonder if they'll have the Travis Tritt concert after the Leno and DDP vs. Hogan and Bischoff like they did when it originally aired.

I really think that the inclusion of Jay Leno in a match probably went a long way toward me giving up on WCW. Stupid Russo.

That actually happened before Russo got there. It gets much much worse once Russo gets there.

They're having a battle royal between NWO Hollywood, the Wolfpac, and Goldberg for no reason at all. It's like the morning of the PPV they realized that none of these guys had a match scheduled so they just decided to put them all in one battle royal together at the last minute.
