So if this goes ahead, it won’t actually be called “WCW Reunion”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Chris B Posted June 3, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 3, 2019 On a related note, How come Glacier is able to wrestle with that gimmick? Did WWE let the trademark lapse? And if so, is it just rare that someone goes back to an old gimmick? Or just rare that WWE let any trademarks lapse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted June 3, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) Tank Abbott Vs Rick Steiner, obviously. Is Jeff Farmer contracted anywhere so we could have a "Sting" appearance? Edited June 3, 2019 by jazzygeofferz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought wwe would kick off over that. Who said they can? It’s been discussed in the thread. WWE own the trademarks to anything WCW. If they did use it, they’d have Jerry on them sharp-ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glacier worked under that gimmick for Dusty's TCW promotion back in 2001/2, and has done plenty of shows with it pre-AEW, including a few stints in CHIKARA over the years, and was actually on an indie show in a match with Pillman Jr and THE YETI earlier this year. Some of you clearly missed the "must be actively wrestling, and not signed to WWE/AEW" rule! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I didn't - it's why I was asking if AEW were signing everyone to exclusive contracts or not. If they're not, Dustin Rhodes vs. Jeff Jarrett is a match I'd like to see in a WCW reunion.

SaitoRyo Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 A very hard card to come up with, given the amount of dead, retired or otherwise unavailable talent. A reunion show in the mid-2000s could have been doable but the pickings are seriously slim now... Anyway, my stab at it: Chavo Guerrero & Kaz Hayashi & Super Calo vs Juventud Guerrera & Ultimo Dragon & Shannon Moore Jushin 'Thunder' Liger Vs. Psicosis Jacquelyn Vs. Madusa The ICP Vs. The Great Muta & Disco Inferno INTERMISSION Syxx Vs. Jeff Jarrett Raven Vs. Lance Storm - Raven's Rules Hardcore Match Booker T & Sid Vs. Buff Bagwell & Too Cold Scorpio Kevin Nash w/Torrie Wilson Vs. Scott Steiner w/Midajah - Special Referee Scott Hall & Special Ringside Enforcer Rick Steiner Obviously everyone would be in their WCW gear/gimmicks and no match would go longer than 15 minutes. There'd be a tonne of smoke and mirrors in most of the matches during the second half of the card. I'd also have Eric Bischoff be the General Manager for the evening, because he does that sort of things these days for the right price. Apologies if I've used somebody under exclusive contract but I'm pretty sure everyone on here works or has the ability to work indie shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarrett's signed to WWE, though - I know he's worked some indie shows, but I doubt he'd get clearance to wrestle against AEW talent. For the purposes of simplicity, I just ruled out anyone who appeared at Double or Nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Pitcos Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I'd get a bit creative with some of the line-up's WCW credentials. And I think I've avoided any WWE talent but included a couple of AEW. Steiner Brothers vs The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Cody Hall) Chris Jericho vs Lance Storm Harcore match: Carl Oulette vs Raven DDP vs Buff Bagwell Glacier vs either Scott Norton or an indie heel that cuts a promo about how shit WCW was Shannon Moore vs Sid Palumbo & Stasiak vs Jung Dragons or Jindrak & O'Haire or any other team that can be cobbled together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone in their 50s and just completely knackered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
