:wow: WCW gave dream matches out left and right, but the wrestlers would push back on potential. Hell, we had Sting vs Bret Hart, but the "that doesn't work for me" steez between both killed the workrate and honestly the match.
Their nitro match? That match was just used to jumpstart the feud.

Those two respected the hell out of each other unlike HBK/Bret. Sting had no problem putting over Bret, and vice versa

I think it was Super Brawl or something, but the match itself just felt like a spar of deflated and tired wrestlers.

Bad enough WCW was like the wild west during that time so I don't blame both parties for just winging it :francis:

Man I was watching Uncensored 2000 "DON'T KNOW THE fukk WHY but it was on WCW Youtube channel". The fact that Vampiro/Sting was just a wet fart and a shyt stain, instead of money just makes me wanna beat the breaks off of Russo. The man had every GOAT in their prime from Mike Awesome to Bam Bam and have them doing ass gimmicks and blink and miss it matches :why:

I was watching back some of BFG 06 last night, specifically the Joe/Angle build/match and my gawd it is fuccking insane how Russo came in and COMPLETELY fuccked shyt up there :snoop:



- Booked the Angle/Joe rematch immediately after their first match.

- Beat Kurt Angle and had him turn heel after only two months there.

- Then the next month booked the third Angle/Joe match which didn’t even main event the show.

- Had Abyss (of all people) beat Sting for the NWA Title that he chased for a year after only two months

- Turned AJ into a goofy clown

- Last Rites Match

Maaaan Fucck Vince Russo and whoever hired him need their ass beat :snoop:

The only good thing to come out of anything Russo beyond the overrated Attitude Era, was the GOAT Last Rites match with Sting and Abyss :wow: . Love that damn match and that promo for it tho :whew:

Lol, but looking back its fuccking INSANE at the main events that WCW actually did give us

This shyt right here should have headlined like three starrcades :wow:



Yeah WCW put big matches on nitro, also I remember seeing big title changes as well on Nitro.

But Raw did used to give some big ones like mankind vs the rock on Raw when he won his title

Yeah, They did too but they would never do no 1st time/dream match type match on Raw.

This is the only one I really remember like that. Definitely was ppv worthy before they cooled off big show:



They also had nowhere NEAR the star power of WCW though.

WWF was:

Austin
Rock
Taker
Kane
HHH
Mankind

While WCW had:

Hogan
Nash
Hall
Goldberg
Sting
DDP
Bret
Flair
Savage
Luger
Piper
Sid
Warrior(for a second)
Steiner
Booker T

shyt was insane :wow:

This wasn't a dream match in 1990.
:mjlol:

I mean...it's like when Cena wrestled Daniel Bryan in 03. In the future it would be a dream, but in 2003, it was another velocity match.

Just like the HBK/Bret ladder match. It was a sloppy match but little do they know that they would have a red hot feud that's still talked about to this very day.
