I think running WCW as its own show was considered at least somewhat semi-seriously by WWF brass, and splitting the roster definitely made sense with having “rival” organisations. There were attempts to do so early doors with the WWF running WCW-branded house shows live events, and running a poll on WWF.com to choose the name of a WCW show that included atrocious options along the lines of Saturday Night Hard-On. The brand split may have also been thought of as a way to bolster the piss-weak “roster” they got with the WCW purchase. No one was going to tune in to a weekly show to see the likes of Hugh Morrus and Kanyon as main eventers, so they may have used the brand split to pad out the WCW roster with existing WWF superstars. However, this is the WWF. As soon as the Booker T vs. Bagwell match bombed on Raw and I think the one or two WCW shows they ran didn’t exactly break box office records, they saw it as a dead duck and just moved to sow the whole thing up as soon as possible, and went ahead with the brand split any way afterwards.

At least it wasn’t the Overdrive, which most people in that 2002–2005 period got given as a finisher.

What heat did Hogan and Foley have in the first place?

No. But you’re clearly in the vicinity. And now not only is name at house number getting dog shit through her letterbox, but she’s also now been doxxed on a public Internet forum.

It pains me that I know the two that aren’t Rishi, and that I know the exact spot that photo was taken as it’s my old hometown.

Isn’t that what WWE is doing with WWE Speed, albeit on Twitter X instead?

Pretty much this. Good thread.

Reading “The Juice” and my brain immediately jumped to Juventud Guerrera. Glad it wasn’t.

Yeah. I went to the first day’s taping, but that ended up going out as episode 2. Pretty sure the whole series was filmed back to back days from what I remember when applying for tickets, and how long the arena was booked out for.
