The Death of WCW.Someone should have told these two fools that it was a bad idea.
>>12944941They were all too busy being self marks and working Turner out of millions to consider that.
What else would 2 heels in the same faction do?
>>12944941I agree with Heenan that they made a huge mistake by killing Goldberg's undefeated streak too early.https://youtu.be/cr71zFaXMpQ?t=766
>>12944941This topic = zzzzz
>>12944975Still got you to post in it though gay boy.
>>12944941Not the worst poking Big Daddy Bitch ever took.
>>12944941It was funny when YouShoot did a video on this interviewing a bunch of different wrestlers about it, and Chyna was the one dumb bitch that said she liked it and that it was a good idea.
>>12944998>gay fag fiction>he does it for free
>>12945006Really?>>12945007>N7 capbased
>>12944941Nash is too much of a raped bitch to say no
>>12945006She probably liked it because she was in the other company and was watching the competition self immolate.
>>12945014this anon is too much of a gay fag fiction writing bitch to have sex with a woman
>>12945030
>>12945012>>12945019I found the video. God rest her soul but this bitch was retarded I have no idea what she's talking abouthttps://youtu.be/AY6WFgLgbxw?t=87
>>12945030Why ya crying? That liberal cuck nash cant hear you
>>12945062nevermind I don't agree with her take
>>12945095>please stop calling me a faggot>let me post my gay fag fiction in peace!kwab
Nash buried himself as hulk’s cuck boy with this angle
>>12944941Nobody has ever explained what else two heels that are friends should’ve done in the match
>>12944941Zoomer here. What was wrong with it?
>>12945030That bait is so poor that he would sign the mark contract for free
>>12945119The match shouldnt have happened at all numb nuts
>>12945125They had to get the belt off Nash because Goldberg had his rematch clause retard
>>12944963This. I still have no idea why Nash of all people best Goldberg, especially that early. The person who came close to beating him & giving him at 5 star match was DDP. If it was him or Sting, I could buy it. But not Nash at the time.
>>12945120It reenforced that WCW was not going to evolve and push new talent and that it existed solely as Hogan and Nash's playground Added to it, Nash turned the entire locker room against him since he got the booker gig promising he'd stop Hogan's egomania bit enable it like this. Also, the snide shitting on Mick Foley by the commentary on this episode plus the burial of goldberg afterwords
>>12944963Dawg, we’re you watching wrestling back then? I was. Everyone was sick to death of watching Goldberg squash Raven’s flock and Jerry Flynn. It went on for too long if anything.
>>12945488Tell me what Goldberg losing to Kevin Nash did for anyone
>>12945488Goldberg should of lost to someone else is the point. Nash wasn’t credible around that time, especially as a guy to beat Goldberg. The only guy who gave Goldberg a run for his money was DDP. Sting could of done it no issue.
>>12945152Doesnt matter its shitty writing
>>12945499Nothing. The problem with creating a retarded situation like that is it can’t go on forever. After you’ve fed him every shitter 5 times to inflate the number, some guys 10 times, to make him look credible you have to start giving him top guys. Where the fuck does it stop? It succeeded in the sense it created a star whole cloth out of thin air, which is a boon, but it has to stop before it makes your whole roster look pathetic, especially whenGoldberg was a worse worker than 90 percent of the roster and worse on the mic than half of it. The only person who would have genuinely benefited from ending the streak was Chris Jericho. They could have used it as a lure to get him to resign the mark contract and it would have rocketed him to the top of the card in a way that made sense. He was already over as fuck with the crowds and the smarks on the Internet, not to mention he had that gimmick where he would challenge Goldberg and claim he won when Goldberg didn’t show. It’s the only person on the roster that breaking the streak would have actually been a thing that helped. Maybe Scott Steiner, but his new persona wasn’t finished forming yet by the end of 98
>>12944941I worked during the backstage of WCW during this era and several people tried to tell them this would be the downfall and they wouldn't listen
>>12945618>Shockingly informed wrestling opinion on /asp/HO-LY SHITHO-LY SHIT
>>12945119Turn Hogan face, or even smarter, don't have the match.
Smark overrated headcanon part 33455
>>12945292>92>Added to it, Nash turned the entire locker room against himOH NO NO NO NO
>>12944954Not book themselves against each other
>>12944954 >>12945119 >>12945152If the end-game was getting the belt on Hogan why put it on Big Daddy Bitch in the first place?>>12945844kek>>12945123boom roasted
>>12946178I would answer but saw you were a gay fag writing bitch who has never felt the warm inside of a vagina so I'll pass
>>12944941The nwo story line shouldve finished in mid 98/Halloween havoc time. With a big blow off match with goldberg standing tall.NWO was so fucking stale. Goldberg was the only reason i and many people i knew bothered tuning in to wcw In 98
Hogan wanted the belt backHogan had creative controlNash had his hands tied
>>12945643Why they did so regardless? Ego trip?
>>12946754You know that "creative control" usually just means you get to veto decisions make for your character, right. He can't just say "I want the belt now" and that's that
>>12944941WCW didn't die because of some horrific error, that's Meltzer driven smark revisionist bullshit. The truth is that the average joe can't be bothered watching more than about 2 hours of wrestling in any given week. WWF was more entertaining so they converted more lazy WCW fans to change the channel and watch Austin and Rock etc. Shit it wouldn't matter if Impact or AEW or LU or any of those were the new hot thing, people just want their 2 hours a week and then thank you fuck you good bye
>>12947114>Cucknettespeak
>>12944941Sid made fun of this spot on the following Thunder's main event with Rick Steiner.
>>12947240Based fucking Sid
>>12947246https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHuTFB0fc0sIts at the 3 minute mark.
>>12944941they did similar spots with sting and with jarrett after that so they didn't learn their lesson
>>12946754>Nash had his hands tiedDude come on...>>12946199Seems like the only bitch here is (You) if a nickname The Rock gave Dieseletty makes you imagine gay sex LOL
>>12946754>wolfbitch headcanon
When Triple H and HBK did it, it worked.https://youtu.be/NVPe5VPLCac?t=73Whenever WCW attempted to copy WWF, they went down in flames hard - pic related. Kek what a shit promotion.
>>12944941This didnt affect the ratings at all
>>12946754
>>12947599This was two already-aligned heels wrestling for a tertiary title, it's not even remotely in the same ballpark
>>12947693Actually it increased ratings7 Dec 98 (4.2) 14 Dec 98 (4.2) 21 Dec 98 (4.0) 28 Dec 98 (4.6) 4 Jan 99 (5.0) - Finger Poke of Doom 11 Jan 99 (5.0)18 Jan 99 (4.4) 25 Jan 99 (5.0)
>>12947719But I thought the WCW belt was a tertiary title..................................................................................................
>>12947727>Actually it increased ratings>5.0>4.4
>>12947736WCW Monday Nitro average rating: Nov 98 (4.24)Dec 98 (4.25)Jan 99 (4.85)Feb 99 (4.68)Let me guess you gulliblely believed WWE propaganda?
Y'all really comparing Nielsens from different nights?>>12947757>gulliblely
>>12944954Have an honorable fight to see which of them is the strongest?
>The only person who would have genuinely benefited from ending the streak was Chris Jericho.

He was already over as fuck with the crowds and the smarks on the Internet, not to mention he had that gimmick where he would challenge Goldberg and claim he won when Goldberg didn’t show.Jericho's idea behind that gimmick was that he'd eventually face Goldberg and get squashed just like everyone else. WCW mangagement gave him shit for it because how dare a midcard geek have ideas above his station.
>>12944941WWE revisionism. Next you're going to tell me that the only star WCW made was goldberg and that Vince was this innocent guy getting bullied out of his livelihood by big bad WCW
>>12947802The rare heel vs heel match is a based treasure. Hogan & Big Daddy Bitch aren't nearly kino enough
>>12947817LMAO at this notion that Goldberg refusing to work with cruiserweight comedy act Chris Jericho in late 1998 was somehow a bad career decision. Goldberg was the pro wrestling's equivalent - at the time - of Mike Tyson. When Goldberg wrestled he made people question if what they were watching was real - he had that mystique - hence why he got over so huge. Keep in mind the business was a lot different back then, SIZE still mattered a hell of a lot (hence why Jericho wore lifts in his boots when he first met Vince McMahon). Goldberg having a programme with a pissant like Jericho potentially could have hurt his aura as the real deal with the masses who were tuning in.Goldberg should have only been participating in serious MONEY DRAWING angles versus believable super heavyweight challengers (at the time he was rightly feuding with the likes of Bam Bam Bigelow, Kevin Nash & The Giant). Goldberg was right to kibosh lowering himself to feud with Jericho as it would have resulted in nothing but entertaining filler segments on Nitro & squash match on PPV. Of course Jericho wanted it to happen because it would have elevated him however it wasn't what was best for business - Goldberg vs. Jericho wasn't money in late 1998.
>>12945643WCW was full of dumbfucks, Jeremy. Were you really surprised that they thought that was a good idea.
>>12947844You smell like a Wolfcuc>Goldberg having a programme with a pissant like Jericho potentially could have hurt his auraYeah it would've really hurt le aura of a guy who had a dozen matches with Jerry Flynn
>>12947727How were things looking by March?
>>12947893On average still in the 4's which which WCW had been doing since August 1997. Same goes for April. And not sure why you would correlate something that happened in January to numbers in March.
>>12945499It made Nash look better.Which in turn led to Hogan looking better.That's all that matters, brother.
