I remember excitingly clicking the link on WWF.com to see what the first "WCW" match was going to be and being flabbergasted when I saw Buff Bagwell's name there. Surprisingly, everyone in the AOL WWF chat were all for it though while I couldn't understand why Buff fukking Bagwell was in this. One chatter even said it might be amazing. It certainly was amazing...for all of the wrong reasons.

Crowd automatically shytted on it cuz it was wcw. Shouldve at least been ddp vs booker . They went nuts soon as austins ran out tho

Austin and Angle run in was an audible cause the match was so shyt

 

[The Rainmaker]

The plan was Lance Storm vs Booker, but since Buff was a more recognizable WCW name...

What I'm saying is... fukk Buff Bagwell.

To be honest it would’ve made more sense to bring back Nitro as “Tuesday Nitro” in 2006 than ECW.

I made a thread on this a couple years ago. Booker T tried his hardest in that match while Bagwell looked like complete trash. He looked winded, and I swear all he did was kick and punch.

Vince wanted to keep WCW around when he bought it but couldn’t secure a tv deal
