Paid Members Jazzy G Posted December 7, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted December 7, 2016 I was surprised Austin didn't try and pull some strings for Page as I hear they go way back. I suppose it's a moot point given Vince's attitude towards WCW AND having Taker in his ear, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.E Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I was surprised Austin didn't try and pull some strings for Page as I hear they go way back. I suppose it's a moot point given Vince's attitude towards WCW AND having Taker in his ear, though. I think, if I have my stories correct, the reason that DDP believes he wasn't pushed in the way you'd expect is down to his first meeting with Vince.  Apparently Vince was all business like, and DDP was being a bit over the top about the whole thing. Acting very enthusiastically, and hugging people in the meeting room etc, so Vince saw him as a joke from then on.  Might be wrong, but that's how I recall the story hah.

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted December 7, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted December 7, 2016 I believe the story is when DDP met Vince he shouted "Vince, I'm home!" and gave him a giant hug. Vince probably had no idea who he was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zep81 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Goldberg/Nash Starrcade contract signing on Nitro.  Goldberg comes out first and has to stand in the ring to wait on Nash, which is backwards IMO. Nash looks like an idiot with the funny faces and brings this down tbh.  Bigelow is at ringside and tries to get involved but is held back by security. Bam Bam/Goldberg then do a great little brawl outside at the end of the show.  I mean, fuck Nash, Goldberg/Bigelow is what's hot now. It's great for now but we all know it's Nash at Starrcade and it's odd that they do this now, as good as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abe_Knuckleball_Schwartz Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK, Bigelow's WCW debut  This was soooooooooo well done. Feels like the first real program Goldberg has been involved in since he became champ, TBH. Shame he's not on the next PPV and he's got Nash at Starrcade though.  I have uploaded his debut and the segments from Nitro 11/16/1998 here:  http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x54layb_bam-bam-bigelow-wcw-debut-goldberg-all-segments-wcw-monday-nitro-11-16-1998_sport To be honest, the Bigelow debut is one of the few things WCW didn't totally balls up that year.

zep81 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Goldberg vs Kevin Nash (WCW Starrcade 1998) Â Â Â Match is pretty good TBH up until the finish.

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted December 10, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted December 10, 2016 Ah, The death of WCW in lovely gif form. Â Brock Lesnar can't take down Bill Goldberg but a bicycle pump can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam O'Rourke Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 There is a slo-mo shot they showed post match of Scott Hall dressed as security waving the tazer at the camera that needs to be a gif, because it cracks me up every time.

Â Fantastic stuff. Better than most PPVs that year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Clint Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Yeah that episode was stacked. I think it was their way of an apology after we all had to suffer 2 weeks of those dull as fuck Raw episodes post SummerSlam '98. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Justice Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I've been watching back to back episodes of Raw from 1997. Just watched the Raw after Brian Pillman died, and Vince has that interview with Melanie Pillman. Anyone else think her emotions were really insincere? They looked forced, like a bad actress that needs to do a crying scene. Â I'm not saying his death was a work, just that for someone who's husband had died the previous day, her reaction seemed a little off.

Guest Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 not seen the interview and don't want to, but would it not be likely it's cos her husband's death was being exploited for TV ratings before it had even got a chance to sink in?
