Never saw Edge for anything either, can probably count on one hand how many good matches hes had in his career as well

Shawn Michaels was a good midcarder

I'm at the new generation era and you can definitely feel a downturn in excitement.

When they started running the same 3 tiny ass places for Raw for all of 1993 (sure seemed like it was just the Manhattan Center and civic centers in Poughkeepsie and White Plains) and all TV was almost exclusively in the New England area for all of 1993-1994, you knew shyt was Not to mention the visual difference in production values steadily going down with the lowest point probably being late 1994-early 1995. I'm not sure they ran any TV west of the Mississippi at all in 1993-1994.

Well you know what this means..its up to @DaylitoJames to make sense of this crazy shyt

Owen/123 Kid at KOTR94 was fire. Really short though.

Piper's promo starts with him not knowing what city he's in and then pulling out a Hershey's bar because he saw it in his suitcase

WCW 1992 is fukking amazing

Sure there's some not good stuff in there as well, but no promotion is ever 100% great in their hot periods.

1992 roster is astounding:

Sting, Vader, Austin, Dustin, Arn, Steamboat, Steiners, Pillman, Doc and Gordy, Rick Rude, Cactus Jack, Barry Windham, young Buff and 2 Cold Scorpio, Bobby Eaton, Nikita, Barbarian, Ron Simmons, plus the NJPW guys like Like, Chono, Muta in regularly and more sporadic appearances by Fujinami/Hase/Hashimoto and also guys like Dean/Benoit/Silver King in for the NWA tournaments.

PLUS young Hall/Nash/Raven, solid mid card vets like Terry Taylor

Jesse Ventura constantly stirring the shyt, smashmouth wrasslin

Even though the booking was ehhh, WCW roster's was still so piff that they had some lowkey piff shows in 99.



Crazy as hell that Goldberg only had that title one time

The Rock won the WCW world title more times than Goldberg

 

[Silkk]

Honestly can't believe Buff was never given a reign

 

[Silkk]

Charlotte Flair gets a lot of flack but she at least works her ass off. David Flair was just

 

[RammerJammer]

In terms of production quality in 97, WCW was so far ahead of the WWF but I guess it added to the aesthetic of Raw is War.

Man that Bill Watts era shyt was boring. There may have been good work in the ring but story-wise and aesthetic-wise it was trash. Nobody looks back at that era fondly. It just wasn’t compelling television. The business was changing and he tried to turn the clock backwards to dimly-lit house shows with no themed tag teams, no mats outside the ring and no off the top rope moves. And he pushed his bum ass son Erik Watts and ran off or alienated talent with his bully extortion tactics.
