Nothing touches Mike Tyson PPV domestic returns except for a few De Lay Hoya fights..the one with Mayweather being the highest. 700k in the US is a great success in this economy. No spinning necessary.

I was just comparing it to Starrcade 97 cuz dude said that was 'shyt compared to peak mania buys' and it's about the same

Nash mixes too much trolling into his facts . He also like triple hhh gives themselves too much credit for being booked as world beaters when wrestling is clearly fake . there were a lot of people that could of been booked like them and looked good.
Especially when Nash is the one booking it

I'm watching this nitro now

I remember why people stopped fukking with nitro here


The show fukking sucked starting here especially. The inring is actually good, but the story of this episode was that goldberg got arrested for stalking elizabeth :comeon:. The acting/promos are fukkING AWFUL AND YOU DONT GIVE A shyt while watching it. Its fukking horrible...while this is going on, almost every match ends in a dq...during the announcement of the mick foley win youre watching a steiner vs konan with BUFF fukkING BAGWELL on the screen, then it goes to commercial. After that break you have a match between WRATH AND Bam Bam Bigelow (no entrance music, and you had to stay long enough to find out and live thru a WRATH PROMO..AND IT ENDED IN A DOUBLE DQ). Youre got damn right i'd change.

They advertised a nash/goldberg rematch and instead you get a nash/hogan fingerpoke. It had little to do with foley, but you were given two choices: watch nitro with a historically bad story arc, constant screwing of the fans with every finish, and awful promos....or raw with a title change payout and a face getting his revenge and better production values across the board.

This whole nitro was a giant fukk you to the fans and was really bad to watch. And even fans in attendance...that shyt was in the georgia dome, and they said it was 40k in attendance. Their main event was that bullshyt. You can only fukk over the fans so much before they move on.

That's one of the main things i hated about Nitro era WCW. outside of the cruiserweight matches, there was never a clean finish to any of the matches, it's like ... Are you really gonna have someone interfere in damn near EVERY single match :comeon:

lol @ Nash trying his best to downplay Jan 4th, knowing full well that he had a direct hand in dubyaceedubya's downfall.
