Loki Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Nothing interesting, just occasionally there are things that have wcw written on them in the back of cupboards, and records of merch stuff that once existed but no longer does. Â Cool. I take it you work for Turner then, or have done? It must be weird at a company like that when such a large division gets shut down.

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted August 25, 2010 Paid Members Share Posted August 25, 2010 The Boogie Knights w/Disco Duck were a license to print money!, Oh! The Disco Duck was tremendous! This team was getting a bit of television time near the very end. Imagine if WCW started selling Disco Ducks? They look cheap and cheerful and would sell by the truck load. Disco even had a catchphrase for about fortnight: "And if you've got a problem with that, then you can kiss my duck, right on the ass". Â WCW's roster was brimming with characters back in 2001.

Loki Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I'll always love Konnan for throwing his shoe during a LAX match, and then wrestling one-shoed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The promo Konnan cut at the beginning was fucking hilarious! Why have I never seen this before? I've cant believe I've never seen Disco destroying K-Dawg with the Disco Duck before. Highlight of Rey Mysterio's career by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted August 26, 2010 Paid Members Share Posted August 26, 2010 Not bragging or anything but ... me and Alex Wright had a full on conversation on Facebook. As I say, not bragging (cue "Tenay/West hi-five"). It got to the point where I was leaving openings to fuck off and he was keep chatting away. Must be a slow day for Das Wunderkid. I begged for him to return to America for one of the big companies or even come to Sunderland to wrestle at the Empire, but he said he was to over ran with his wrestling promotion to even listen to offers. Always thought there must have been a reason for him to not be doing something on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guaranteed travel to Sunderland to see him in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thejeffjarrettone Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 Apologies for the bump but I'm sat here watching disc 3 of "The Rise And Fall Of WCW". Aside from the chronological errors and the "We Don't Like You So You Suck" Politics of WWE, its got some pretty cracking matches! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted January 12, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted January 12, 2011 Funnily enough, I've been watching that too. I'm just not sure about the match choices though, some of them do seem a bit random. I know they didn't choose them all necessarily for quality but more for their history and place in the WCW story. But still, as decent a match as it was, I'm sure they could have picked better matches than Eddie Guerrero v Syxx from Souled Out. Â But yeah, WCW could always be relied on for great matches despite itself. The last couple of years are too easily written off wholesale as a pile of shit but there were absolutely loads of gems in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I think that was more to do with Eddie beating that nasty smelly druggie Syxx/X Pac/Sean Waltman who gave WWE such a headache rather than the actual match, although I do rate it as a Ladder Match. I still feel kinda racist for laughing at "This. Is. The. Mexican Jumping Bean. Eddie. Guererro." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
