So I'm watching WCW from the start of Nitro. Now at the episode where Scott Hall appeared. So I have some thoughts...
Positives
DDP - slowly getting a push
Johnny B Badd - good underrated wrestler
The international wrestlers
Savage v Flair
Development of the Giant
The Luger storyline where he is a heel and is defended by Sting
80% of the show is wrestling, actual matches
The tag division - LoD, Steiners, Harlem Heat, Public Enemy, Nasty Boys, American Males, Fire and Ice, Dick Slater and Bunkhouse Buck, Faces of Fear
Col Robert Parker - loved his character for some reason
Pilman, Benoit, Malenko, Guerrero
Even Konnan is slick in this period
Bobby Heenan
Blokes storming the broadcast position
The chicks - Kimberley's head lights are always on
Some of the jobbers - Alex Wright, Disco, Brad Armstrong, they're all booked to either have a character or made to look like a good wrestler - you could probably get a push going for them
Heel Jimmy Hart
Negatives
Don't book heel v heel. General rule is you need a face so the fans know who to cheer.
Johnny B Badd and Brian Pilman left
Hacksaw Jim Duggan being given somewhat of a push
Some of the rubbish dishes up and pushed to the moon from the Dungeon of Doom - One Man Gang is a decent jobber to the stars but not much more, Shark god bless him, Lochness Monster god bless him, The Yetaaaaiii
Ed Leslie - kept getting pushed, he was great as Brutus but he's nothing without that gimmick
World Titld matches playing second fiddle to Hogan
The Monster Truck match - stoopid
The Doomsday Cage match - I just don't get it
Storylines that go nowhere - Konnan and Eddy have a great PPV match, Eddie goes for a leap frog and his baby maker hits Konnans head and he claims a low blow. Stoopid really because it's clearly accidental and both are faces but they then never went to a rematch
Anyone else been watching any of this? $9.99 per month, sooo worth it
