this NWA invasion was dead the moment it started..and somehow Cornette thinks it could've worked

 

[CM_Burns]

Vince hated Dusty Rhodes

You can't tell me different

Very southern and a bad physique, so it's not a stretch

Severn was legit AF, I think it could have

 

[JerseyBoy23]

Maybe its because we're already over 3 hrs of wrestling, but this sh1t is hard to get through

Maybe we should've kept two tabs open with RAW on and Nitro on like we would've in 98.

 

[MartyMcFly]

Yep, and Kane.

They had to try their damndest to keep Austin away from Taker until the SS build and had to get there early.

Always felt they should have had Austin feud with Shamrock for a minute.

Yeah and Kane wasn’t quite there yet in my opinion but he was in a feud with taker so that did the job.

This iteration of DX wouldn’t really take off until the summer. Same with the rock and that version of the nation. They were a much better company in June than they were in April

Cornette STILL thinks it could work

 

[Cartier Murphy]

Bombastic Bob somehow worse than Sparky Plug

legit but not interesting.

besides no one cares about a midcard invasion which is all this turned out to be.

 

[R=G]

Booed for that botch...Holly always sucked

 

[MartyMcFly]

New Midnight Express? We shyt on Billy Gunn alot but at least he found something to do with The New Age Outlaws and DX.... Bart Gunn had nothing to do outside the Brawl For All which was the beginning of the end for him

I think you guys shyt on billy too much he and Brian made chicken salad out of chicken shyt when they were put together. They took the ball and ran with it and became stars in a company when it was at its peak. That’s no small thing.


Okay now go back to shytting on him

Crazy that Sunny basically got pushed to the side once Sable showed up. Sunny grew up a wrestling fan and actually WANTED to be there, Sable on the other had didn't wanna be there and was given the world to keep her around.

Sunny could talk, could shill merch, could be a host of one of the weekend shows, etc

Early 2000s Sable seemed much better in this regard. Plus that Sable gave us

 

[InstantKlassik]

Not even rock technically. He wasn’t there yet. So really it was just Austin and taker. Mick was still finding himself. This was basically a reboot of the whole company which is crazy to think about

The Nitro the very same night as this Raw felt special

How does Bischoff live with himself knowing that he had WWE on the brink and squandered it. I'd still have nightmares

To be fair around the rise of Sable you can tell that Sunny was more concern about the coke than wrestling

 

[JerseyBoy23]

Not having Nitro to turn to when a trash RAW segment was on might've killed RAW itself.
