They really ought to take advantage of football season ending. They have the wrestling base conditioned to watch wrestling on Sunday nights. They could have a Sunday night viewing party

Have a legend, alumni, current star whatever watch a random PPV, raw, WCCW whatever off the network and live tweet during it (half in half out of character)

Could be fun engagement and a way to show the sense of humor of cats you don't expect it from

Final MNW episode :mjcry:. But it's true about the invasion angle, people give the WWE so much shyt for it flopping but what could they do when hoegan, Nash, hall, sting, flair and Goldberg all chose to sit out? They were left with not even a B team. I remember back then thinking where the hell all the big guys were at

What are they replacing this series with?
They went cheap with it too and didn't want to buy the guys out of their contract. People that still had shyt left to prove like Booker T was willing to take a buyout on the cheap to come to WWF. But all those guys you mentioned were about the money and the only way they would take a buyout was if WWF matched their money plus extra most likely. All reports at the time said WWF wasn't willing to spend that money at the time.

And why would they buyout the contracts of all those wrestlers when they Austin, rock, HHH, Taker and everyone else on their roster?

I wouldn't spend millions and millions buying out the contracts of all those guys, who were ALL past their prime, just for a storyline

i hate that Russo didnt discuss in detail what happened between him and Hogan, like the whole game plan. He explained it in a shoot interview
It was in Bischoff's book i believe. Hogan was supposed to win the title and then leave. Booker T was supposed to beat Jarrett for the title later that night all the same. Then hogan was supposed to come back to have a unification match, But he said once russo cut that promo that fukked everything up & Hogan was legit heated and left the builiding and didn't show up on nitro. Then the lawyers got involved and from there it was a wrap

Russo said that as well, but added that WCW didnt want to bring Hogan back because he was costing too much, Russo said he didnt call him and let him know, So Hogan thought he was being screwed out of his money.
