All these WCW PPVs are hyping the hell out of the WCW Hotline. I wish they would release the Hotline messages because for $1.49 a minute they must have been breaking some great news! (Watching spring stampede '97 and WCW Hotline is talking about a new clique forming and also some wrestlers got in a car wreck..OMG, I gotta find out who!)

At 1hr and 9 minutes into 1997 Spring Stampede, Booker T is cutting a promo and calls Hulk Hogan the N word. He immediately grabs his head and looks away from the camera in embarrassment LMAO. I then searched on the internet and apparently this moment became a big hit on youtube.

yeah it's a GOAT moment in wrestling history.

Watching the pilot ep of Legends House now.

Not going to lie. It looks hilarious so far. Hope I didn't set my expectations too high.

I found it entertaining in a cringe worthy way. The same way that the divas show does.

Piper had a few amazing one liners in the show. Gary Busey asks the guys if they might have anger management issues, Piper responds with "you don't ****ing think?" Loled.

Not sure I like how they are making Piper look suicidal and **** at the end of the episode tho.

Yea, that was definitely depressing. Mean Gene, Hillbilly Jim, and Hacksaw are my favorites so far, but obviously subject to change.


Watching Insurextion 03'. Teddy Long once managed Christopher Nowitzski (sp) and Rodney Mack at the same time. DAT WHITEBOY CHALLANGE DOE

Are legends house episodes been added one per week or are they all on there?

One a week. I felt the same way as dnky. Having Tony Atlas arrive in track pants with a fanny pack wasn't the best choice for one of the opening shots imo. They could have at least supplied them with some clothes to chill around the house in, most of them look like bums. There's potential for some Mean Gene gold though. There's just something about having a bunch of old wrestlers in the same place that's depressing.

Yea I found it very depressing. They all look terrible, can barely walk, wear sunglasses indoors etc. I may give it another shot

They should have got Flair on it.

And obviously Piper needs to wear shades at all times

Oh wow, I'm watching the WM 17 Gimmick battle royal. The caption for the GobbledyGooker is Gobbly Gooker.

what the ****?

just watched super brawl '94. theres a tag team title match of nasty boys vs cactus jack/max payne, and max attempts a belly to belly suplex on knobbs towards the end, and i think he broke knobbs' right arm. it was a mean scorpion too.

the ppv overall isn't terrible. there's a good match between a very young ddp and terry taylor. a "thunder cage" 3 on 3 tag match w/ stunning steve, ravishing rick and mr. wonderful (lols) vs pillman, sting and dustin. that was okay. then flair vs vader in the cage for the title, and that match sucked, after being over hyped throughout the show.

check out cactus/sullivan vs nasties from Slamboree '94. Just as crazy as the SuperBrawl match but much better and the SB match is really good.

This is true

The concept of voluntarily seeking out a Nasty Boys match to watch it just sounds so weird to me, but eventually I'll break down and watch that.

They Live! This is a must watch on Netflix for those who haven't seen it.

This post sent me straight to IMDb to see what rating it got. And it gets...a 7.3? Wow that's actually amazingly good, way higher than what I possibly expected given what I knew of it. Maybe I should give it a watch.

I mean, I'm a John Carpenter fan, so that skews it for me. It certainly has a left-leaning anti-Reagan, anti-consumerism bend, but it's fun as hell irrespective of where you might fall on the political spectrum.

Within this forum, my only political view is this: the dnky vs. master blood feud is the only thing keeping me vs. TradeOC from the top of the power rankings.

Dont know if I should post in the Warrior thread or here so im just gonna post it here. (I will be talking about it in this post so if you didnt watch it and dont want to read about it yet just skip the post)

Watched the Warrior: Ultimate Legend documentary on WWE Network today. Thought it was a good watch. Was chilling that all the commentary by Warrior was days before he died.

I remember watching the post Wrestlemania Raw that as Warrior was shaking the ropes i was thinking that it seemed weak. This documentary drove that feeling home. Any clip that involved him walking you could see he was hurting. At times during the documentary he looked flat out weak.

Seemed like a storyline of the documentary was warrior burying the hatchet with all his enemies. Was good to see him suceed in that regard of making peace with everyone.

Of all the scenes that pulled at my emotions the worst was by far when they had a mini interview with Warrior after Raw and he looked really happy and said he was excited about the future, the following scene was in text writing about his death. I choked up a little there.

Great watch and would recommend it.

I must say, the interviews they aired tonight with Vince and Hunter both getting emotional about Warrior, a guy they clearly expressed absolute hatred of in the past, definitely got me.

Like I'm not one to just completely flip my opinion of someone at the time of their death as is seemingly custom to do so, but it's very clear to me that people who actually knew him and despised him at points earlier in his life felt much differently than that at the end, and more than in just some rueful "I wish I hadn't held onto a petty grudge" sort of way. They would obviously know far better than I was if he was a changed man, and signs point to that having been the case.

I would love for some evidence to be uncovered that he second-guessed himself on some of his bigoted opinions that he raged on about during his life. That would go a long way toward further redeeming him.

Feel so bad for those two girls. Looks like they loved him a bunch

didnt want to ruin the warrior thread w/ this, and i wasnt sure if it was posted yet, but..

feel free to delete if its been discussed/posted.

It is quite plausible that steroid use contributed to long term health issues which resulted in the Ultimate Warriors death. However, the biggest issue I have here is that Nancy Grace should not be covering this at all. The cause of death is a non-issue as far as I'm concerned. The issue with wrestlers dieing at a young age was exposed years ago. Even Nancy Grace has covered this previously and the WWE has already taken the necessary steps to clean itself up. That makes this, a non-issue. If it were a current wrestler, then Nancy might have something that should be brought to the public's attention.

BTW, those familiar with Nancy Grace know that she has certain crusades near and dear to her heart and one of those is her anti-drug crusade. She also tried to pin the Benoit murders on 'roid rage so wrestlers should know what they are getting into when they go on her show. That being said, this is probably the first credible opportunity that the WWE has had to blacklist her. I'm sure they wanted to previously but they certainly couldn't after the Benoit fiasco.

Shame most people think that line came from Duke Nukem.

It's definitely worth watching. I'm a big fan of John Carpenter as well but have no problem recommending this to pretty much anyone on a rainy day. There's so many good lines from Piper and unintentional(maybe not?) funny scenes. The fight scene is awesome.
