Today’s WCW DEEP CUT looks at the time that a Saturday Night taping was stopped because they ran out of videotape.

There was a period in 1995 where Yokozuna completely stopped pretending he was a solemn Japanese sumo warrior. Just casually throwing up the “west side” as a shoutout to his dudes in San Francisco during a promo.

This is probably what WCW sent to BET when they asked for a black wrestler.

It sure is working though. The entire narrative seems to have turned from Brock disgust to “look at them attacking this show against AEW!”.
Tom. (@notthattomgreen.is.tired.fyi)
Obviously the deal was made to stack the card against All In. But this also feels like dangling keys to lure people who are against Brock returning, more so than any other move they’ve made recently.

I do not mean to give Corny Jim any credence. But I had YouTube on AutoPlay while I was playing Tony Hawk, and this popped up. Jim is BAFFLED by the concept of a red carpet event. His brain cannot comprehend it. This is a grown adult.

The only thing I liked from that Death of WCW series was the Kevin Sullivan quote about WCW being a “death by a thousand swords”. Everyone remembers the 2-3 big things that killed the company. There are literally hundreds of smaller things that accumulated to those points.

I said it last night - this is one of the best “coming back from commercial” spots I can ever remember. Snapping out of commercial with this HUGE reaction to an incredible move was so effective in making the back end of the match more exciting on TV.

Very few wrestlers in history have had a back-to-back PPV run like Bandido with the Takeshita & Hechicero matches. Absolutely incredible. Bandido wrestles like a force of nature. His matches don’t have ebbs and flows - he grabs the crowd on his back and pushes through to the peak. #ROHDBD

IATSE Local 8 last posted on Facebook Re: the 2300 Arena in March, when BKFC ran there. No big scene or protest/picket line. It's the only other time I see in the last 5 yrs that they targeted this venue. If you wanna be conspiratorial, both shows were from companies pressuring TKO on talent pay.

90% of creative pitches from wrestlers are “Hey, I just saw the new Marvel movie and we should just do that with me”. But at least most wrestlers want to be the star. Jake wanted to be a tree.

If I’m Tony Khan, I hire Jake Hager just to do negative interviews about me for years and years. Jake made him sound SO much more assertive than 99% of negative AEW stories do. Genuinely good PR for Tony.

It’s about what it sounds like. All the big studios and home video producers set up booths to rub elbows with the video store owners. Most of them brought in stars to sign autographs. Just did a Short recently about Turner accidentally false advertising the wrong Sting at their booth at one.

When I was little, my mom was tight with the local video store owner. Every year, she’d go to the video store owners’ convention and come back w/swag. She’d always give me a Hillbilly Jim autographed 8x10, but it’d be out of gimmick. What kid wants a Hillbilly Jim picture in a polo shirt?!?

How do I say this delicately (especially as someone with a similar physical build to him)… He does not seem like the type of athlete that WWE would put on TV in 100 years. No idea if he’s good or not. But this feels like Gabe was told he had to sign someone from a seminar and forgot who attended.
