Stop.

I saw dan spivey actually be bettwr than hogun in every possible way live early. On a house show at rpsemont as a kid with my dad. Plus hogun get exposed by adrian adonis via count out.
On the same card.

What's that have to do with the Skyscrapers?

Everyone remembers other Sid matches and runs
Clearly everyone remembers Undertaker
Hell I remember Spivey more for being in the varsity club over the Skyscrapers.

My point was people remember the team members and names. But I don't think anyone remembers their feuds or specific matches as the actual Skyscrapers

Skyscrapers were a squash free tv tag team. Where politically given their look were going to be systemically held back in either company.
The next reason why the skyscrapers are not remembered match to match in history profoundly. Is that smarts do not rate squashes. Which is where the beginning legacy based disconnect comes from. In the internet age. As the internet age had an actual boom occurring. Concurrently at the same time. That i created profitability of the net. Sohh mainstream appeal of the internet. Had an actual focus. As well as public life was experiencing a real boom.
As well as exposal of the industry. Where a deep cut like spivey and even sid in that manner. Would not be generally revisited because of the era and semantics. Surrounding the gateway draw of wrasslin. Now being exposed via kayfabe. As well as wrestling with shadows mainstream permeation. Leading to a much larger mainstream boom. Which at the time. Still revolved around the golden boi hogun. Albeit heel.
Sohh the adulation of a what if golden boi like spivey. Coupled with the squigee sid shoot fight burial. Would just completely take any mainstream adulation of spivey off the table almost completely.

As spivey was not choosen as thee golden boi. Plus was passed over for sid.
Whom basically was exposed on numerous occassion. As well as being the underlying catalyst to benoit historically. Being how benoit came to be.
in the wwf to begin with.

Sohh it is a number of factors. Plus key variables in time line historically in print. Why in that time and moving forward dan spivey is rarely mentioned. Past my house show viewing of him. On the only card that also had hogun vs adonis.

WCW is the biggest fukkup in professional wresting history. From Ted Turner all the way down to the bookers, they were bunch of marks. To have all those great names and don't do shyt with them. Throwing big money at wrestlers is not enough, you have to actually produce something with those names.

russo, bischoff and hogan ran WCW to the ground.

They had a good amount of young promising talent and a lot of veterans to produce countless of great matches.

It's sad because they did exactly the same with TNA, exactly those three names again...
We'll say the same things about AEW when daddy Khan gets tired of bank rolling that thing

I remember they had Sting and Warrior reunite as a tag team on Nitro one time

This is some alternate universe shyt.

I do not remember this happening and I feel like I was watching around that time because I thought it was a fake Ultimate Warrior in WCW.
