Was waere ein besserer Weg ueber die WCW zu sprechen als Zitate aus dem WON von Dave Meltzer zu nehmen? Manche sind witzig, manche sind erschuetternd, und manche erstaunen einen einfach nur wie sowas moeglich war. Ich werde immer von Zeit zu Zeit neue Zitate dazu schreiben:
-"Jim Duggan came out next and made some remarks about Sting and then Sting came out and gave him the reverse DDT and was supposed to leave Duggan laying. At least that's how the commentators were selling it, the only problem was that Duggan got right back up and was marching around the ring as they said it."
20 Januar 1997
-"Eddie Guerrero double count out Syxx in a 2:00 ladder match. I've got a feeling watching a ladder match go to a double count out in that short a time on TV will make me spent $27.95 to see them have a rematch."
20 Januar 1997
-“Steve McMichael was earning in the $350,000 range when he was announcing, haven't heard any word on what he's making to wrestle - or whatever it is they call what he does."
27 Januar 1997
-"NWO Souled Out (or suddenly the Royal Rumble was a hell of a show) poll results:
Thumbs Up 2
Thumbs Down 195
In the Middle 1"
3February 1997)
-"Miss NWO finally ended with the sight of Bischoff French kissing an overweight mid 50s woman to no cheers, even fewer laughs, and a lot of gagging around the country. By this time the show was as much fun to watch as three hours of somebody masturbating. In fact, I'm not sure that isn't what we were watching."
3 Februar 1997
-"Benoit threw Konnan over the top for the DQ. Jacquelyn was supposed to pull a chair from under the ring but some WCW idiot had grabbed the chair and was sitting in it and she, on live TV, started looking for a chair and looking for a chair and what a disaster that turned out to be."
10 Februar 1997
-"A fan hit the ring during the brawl which was funny because the fan forgot to sell Hall and Savage's punches but at least he ran away quickly."
3 Maerz 1997
-“At the American Film Market 97 only two movies with wrestlers were screened ... The other was Hogan's Santa With Muscles whose first screening attracted all of seven people and whose second screening attracted zero."
17 Maerz 1997
-"Ice Train pinned Maxx in the dark match. Report was that it was about as good as you'd expect."
24 Maerz 1997
-"The NWO did an interview. They pretended to be stoned. They pretend very well."
24 Maerz 1997
-"Joe Gomez ran in while Renegade watched. The World was just waiting for the Renegade vs. Joe Gomez feud."
7 April 1997
-"Luna Vachon talked about taking the womens belt from Madusa. Of course Madusa doesn't hold that belt. Akira Hokuto does, but with the communication within this company, I don't blame her for the mistake."
21 April 1997
-"Eric Bischoff claimed WWF would be out of business in six months."
27 October 1997)
-"The show opened with a dark match as the American Patriots (Curtis "Chip the Firebreaker" Thompson and Todd Champion aka Todd Brafford) returning beating the Samoan Swat Team, billed as Samu and Fatu, although it was the original Samu and the Fatu was Sam Fatu, better known as Samoan Savage and Tonga Kid. All reports are that this match wasn't good, so that should pretty well guarantee they get signed."
22 December 1997
-"WCW.com ran a contest involving Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair. I'm actually not sure what the contest was for. Anyway, we got numerous reports from people who said that if you vote for Flair, the total number for Hogan automatically increases by five."
28 Februar 1999
-"Dustin Runnels was at Starrcade, being called by management to return. Runnels is reportedly being paid $750,000 per year but the company isn't using him. When he got there, the company told him they had no plans for him, and he went back home."
25 December 2000
-"Oklahoma then threw BBQ sauce in Madusa's eyes to set up Madusa vs. Oklahama in a feud over the cruiserweight title"
10 Januar 2000
-"Bagwell and Kanyon, who at this point had turned on eachother twice, where scheduled to face Flair and Crowbar. Bigelow attacked Kanyon, suplexing him on the entrance ramp and threw him off the stage through a table. This bump was far more dangerous than similar WWF bumps where they have all these pads set up covered in a blanket around the table when they go off the ramp, but the stunt was nill as the cameras missed the shot"
10 Januar 2000
-"It wasn't Bret Hart driving the monster truck nor was Sid in the car that was being run over, although both were the original plan. Hart was told what part of the car to drive over and where Sid would be in the car so as to not drive over him. Hart refused saying he wasn't an experienced stunt driver. There was no problem with his decision and he was apologized to for being asked"

Und das letzte ist fuer euch. ;)
-"If you thought Starrcade was bad in English, it was worse in German. The German crew was in WashingtonDC live. The regular commentators were joined by comedian Tom Gerhardt, who was popular in Germany ten years ago because he used to go on stage dressed as a giant penis and pretend to ejaculate on the audience. He was doing heel commentary to get himself over, calling Disco Inferno gay, talking about Madusa having nice tits, and stood when Benoit made the open challenge to anyone and challenged him. This was all done to build a match where Gerhardt will wrestle Berlyn in Oberhausan, Germany on the WCW house show. German wrestler Ulf Hermann, upon hearing this news, issued a grandstand challenge."
