The General Wrestling Thread

Was watching some stuff on YouTube last night and came across a Kevin nash round table about the NWO/WCW. He laid the blame for the death of the WCW/NWO at Goldberg's feet because Goldberg injured his arm smashing in that limo window rather than using the baseball bat like he should have. He said the Finger Poke of Doom would not have been that big of a deal if Goldberg was around to play face and take the title back.

Slight flaw in logic in that those happened like...years apart from one another I believe.

Didn't, way back when, I don't remember precisely, the WWF used do have a show where they'd cut to various "big" matches from different house shows? Or at least have a SNME segment doing so?

They used to do that with the old "SuperStars" episodes from the early 90s and maybe earlier.

I know they cut the shit out of house show matches and put them on "Best Of" Compilations.

You'd see the same match 3-4 times across several tapes if they had a feature guy.

CZW is still around?

Yep.

Apparently they have a contract with Big Japan right now.

I think it was only a few months

I have never been a HHH fan. Always found him boring, predictable, etc...
I really am curious where his career would have gone without the Stephanie connection. I'm not saying he's not a main eventer, he is, but I find his in-ring style incredibly boring and my assumption is 50% of his success is Stephanie-related (I'll give him the other 50% because he's a hard worker and consistent).
And he can't kid himself, Shawn Michaels is DX, HHH is 30, maybe 20% DX. The New Age Outlaws might take some of HHH's cut here.

When I think of DX, I think of Triple H.

No, it was significantly more than a few months

Yeah, Nash was unleashing a major heap of bullshit on that roundtable.

First, Goldberg didn't fuck up his hand until many months after Nash alluded to.

The finger poke was stupid and indefensible.

Vince Russo is no longer the TNA creative team head writer. He has been replaced by Bruce Prichard, who also heads the talent relations division. Russo is now considered essentially a senior writer and continues to write the actual shows along with Matt Conway once the direction has been mapped out by Prichard, who also signs off on
the scripts.

Also..

Hogan's contract expires at the end of this month, and all signs point to him not resigning...

[Bigpapa42]

Except he's already signed a new deal, Ian. Just no word yet on for how long.

Was posted on PWI on the 4th. Still haven't seen anything on thelength of the deal. And Hogan never plugs TNA, which is plain stupid since he could be using his pop culture profile to give the promotion something of a boost... but nope...
