Made it about 12 minutes into this one 😂 I get they want to recap stuff for people jumping in mid-series but, my goodness, only about 2 minutes has been dedicated to the actual episode topic so far. It’s madness when you remember that this was produced for the WWE Network.. so to people who are already paying them 9.99 a month. It’s not like there’s much risk of catching channel surfers hopping between networks 😅

2025-02-05 14:10:23 +0000 UTCIf you’ve got plenty of time watch WrestlingBios Reliving the War if you don’t already. It’s been fascinating watching the two companies fortunes change the way they did. I’m a little behind but the most recent review I started was Mania 2000. WCW is really bad and it’s only going to get worse. It was either the March 20th or March 27th episode of Nitro that fucking horrendous.

2025-02-05 10:15:58 +0000 UTCI remember WWE had the Halftime Heat match between The Rock and Mankind, the empty arena match. During the ... Vince Russo Era... I would always say the difference between WWE and WCW was that when WWE had an empty arena match for the World Championship, they did it on purpose. It... hurts to admit that.. as much as I loved WCW at its peak. I still mourn WCW like a lost family member, and usually create a new version of it in the 2K games.

2025-02-05 10:11:50 +0000 UTCI.... try not to think about the last little stretch of WCW. At the tail end of the Monday Night Wars, WWE got to where they were going from strength to strength, while WCW... well... I always like to say that, with WCW... when the wheels fell off... the wheels FELL THE ****** OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2025-02-04 10:26:52 +0000 UTCListening to Russo defend putting the belt on Arquette makes me livid. The company closed like half a year later, you moron.

2025-02-04 08:13:09 +0000 UTCDavid Arquette winning the world title (the top title in the company) was a major nail in the coffin for wcw. It made it difficult for them to retain talent

2025-02-04 03:39:37 +0000 UTCBro, I opened the paper and didn’t even open the paper, THERE IT WAS! Stupid fake ass pro wrestling that I booked, bro. Eyeballs, bro, USA Today has 7 million subs and that’s 14 million PPV buys. Low end, bro.

2025-02-04 01:32:27 +0000 UTC"Bro, wrestling is FAKE, bro! If Rocky Balboa can win the belt in a movie, why can’t Arquette win in WCW, BRO? IT’S A WORK, YOU SMART MARKS! The waitress... BRO, she says, ‘Is this real?’. She NEVER asked me about Bret Hart, bro! THAT’S THE CASUAL FAN! When I jumped ship from WWF, BRO, I was the ONLY one trying to save WCW!" - Vince Russo watching this video

2025-02-04 00:26:13 +0000 UTCAs much as the idea to put your World Title on an actor in stupid, Arquette himself seem to be a true wrestling fan and in recent years really trained and had matches in small indy shows

2025-02-03 21:12:55 +0000 UTCAnd the Tyson one was perfect bc immediately after WM 14 he didn’t appear again. And the point was to get Austin over not to put himself over. He did his job and then WWF continued to capitalize on it

2025-02-03 18:45:13 +0000 UTCPerfect timing for this to go up as I thought the Speed appearance at the Rumble was done pretty well compared to most celebrity usages I've seen so far.
