Favorite was still that Dave Meltzer comment about Buff Bagwell demanding to be paid what he was worth by WCW. Can't remember the exact wording, but it was something along the lines of: _"I'm not sure what the going rate is these days for a 1.87 quarter-hour, but it sounds to me like he's asking for a pay cut."_

If your going to do more Thunder, there's a Royal Rumble style match on Thunder in like October & David Flair has two hilarious spots in the match, he randomly starts dancing for no reason

That Sabu vs. Mr. Gannosuke match didn't have the XPW title on the line for those wondering.

You know I question sometimes how WCW let Russo do this stuff on a basis before they took him away from writing there shows this is the same dude that wanted Tank Abott win the big gold belt. Also this is the last mainstream appearence in wrestling for Macho Man until TNA. Oh and for my opinion on the New York Rules match it could work but if the purpose of the match is no ref should it not be a whoever ko's the opponent should win instead of a pinfall like those ko stips in later WWE games where you beat your opponent so badly you win. 🤔

They let MANY people get away with worse shit than Russo ever did

I think botchamania did have a segment about this. They cut in a bit from Bruce Pritchard's podcast talking with Bishoff. And they talked through it.

GET OUT OF OUR COMPANY and “Newark rules baby” make me laugh every time. Also, Jim Duggan, mercenary for hire is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever heard.

I actually watched this episode live as a kid and remembered ALL of this!!! I even suggested to OSW on their fb page in 2014 that they review this and they basically said they would if they ever did that arc… they did the david arquette winning the title episode and NEVER DID THIS ONE!!! Love u guys for doing it.

I think they missed the best part of the battle royal. Jeff Jarret and ddp were both in the number 1 contender battle royal. They already had a title shot 4 days later. Why were they in the royal, what if Jarret won the battle royal then won at slamboree?

Straight up Kimberly Page was so damn hot back then, I remember her the most cause she was a Nitro Girl for ages. I'm assuming they weren't around by this point but yeah, goddamn she was just stunning.

When Russo said cut the music Shane Douglas probably thought "That's my phrase."

Was at the first two xpw shows rebirth and killiforinia. U c me in the crowd in both shows

I'm not gonna lie Konan had a great point on his podcast not too long ago so Russo was kept in line at WWE because they had so many bookers working there to handle the roster size at the time so Russo only got a few of his crazier ideas through at WCW and TNA Russo was given free reign to do whatever he was the sole person responsible to book the shows and have them make sense but the rosters at WCW and TNA thought he was stupid and a hack so they just did their own things which caused a lot of miscommunication and awkward shifting storylines that make no sense so yes Russo is the guy who killed Pro Wrestling but it wasn't entirely his fault no one stepped in to check him no one made sure he could even do the job on his own and it shows

Part of that was that Russo is great at selling himself to employers. He turned "Was on the staff when WWE started turning into Attitude" into "Bro, I made Austin bro, hire me, bro!" and in two separate companies thought he would make a fine chief creative.

mo' dubya c dubya 2k AWWWWWWW HERE IT GOES!

Super random but imma definitely need these guys to do either an episode on Kennel from Hell match or the the programs leading up to it😂😂

11:16 Seven was actually in 1999, so this is something else entirely. I'm afraid of what it could have been.

Now i gotta see this battle royal cus it sounds like a fever dream

I happened to see this Battle Royale on my YT Recommended feed and it was apparently the "other" cut-for-TV version without Arquette. And even without that, the whole thing was so wild and the ending was so ludicrous that I went looking to see if anybody had covered it the way that WhatCulture/Culatholics "Weird-and-bad Wrestling Episode" style content did. That's how I ended up here, now I've got a gigantic library of podcasts to crawl through. I'm about to have so much fun at work lol Until I got back into wrestling recently, I really only know the NWO-era WCW so when people say late WCW is all weird and bananas and not good I didn't get it, I loved all of this as a kid. Doesn't change the fact it's all ridiculous and kinda stupid at times, that's just how I like my wrestling, though.

Mike Awesome is the prime example of how pettiness can ruin careers in professional wrestling.

If you watch enough Nitro and Thunder you quickly realize the answer to the question "why?" Is always "because WCW"

People keep using Mark as an insult today. I might be stupid but I don’t think it means what people think it means

ALRIIIGHT

Buff and Lance Storm are great tag partners.

I know you gotta make the stage weak enough to fall through, but like I blame whoever made that section so fucking brittel that a light breeze could make it collapse lol

this is funny podcast ever

The one dude sounds like jontron

It’s funny because Johnny said that that was 22 years ago i’m born February 23, 2000 I’m 22 😂 lol

Top guys: 5* Horrace 5* Lars

This was easily the most fucked up episode of Thunder ever. The battle royal went completely off the rails once Macho Man showed up, and that's saying something considering how crazy everything else was.

I hate how you guys pronounce Newark it’s “Nork”

Enjoy Misfits wade

No important but Mike awesome is 6'6

Watching Russo is so much fun. EXCEPT WHEN IT ISNT BROTHER

I think Steiner was beating the fuck out of a fan not refs
