As noted before, Drew McIntyre is set to be re-packaged with an "arrogant playboy" gimmick soon. According to fans at this weekend's SmackDown live event in Honduras, Drew appeared to be acting more sexually and flirting with male fans in the crowd, even blowing kisses at some. He also stopped in the middle of his match against Ezekiel Jackson to comb his hair. Drew still lost the match to Zeke.
Who wants to read a drunken review of WCW Nitro once I write it
It's not gonna be good Nitro either
I'm talking June 2000 "What the fuck are they doing" nitro
And it'll be a review full of vitriol and anger and confusion and booze
Is it the June 5 one from Atlanta?
June 19, why what was the June 5 one
For the record
I have watched Nitro once
I was drunk then too
It featured Goldberg's in-ring return squashing Tank Abbot (that was the only good thing), Eric Bischoff winning a title, Vince Russo defeating Ric Flair, and Kevin Nash defeating the ENTIRE heel lockerroom of WCW. I did not make that last part up. I have proof:
For those who have never read it, here are some examples of what to expect:
"In a TV commercial in the Nashville market for the 2/18 PPV, the voiceover really says 'expect a night of run-ins'." - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: February 12, 2001
"Michael Buffer came out for absolutely no reason. See, he was there to announce the main event. But get this, there was no main event. Flair, at this moment, fell out of the turnip truck, grabbed a hoe and kept falling down" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: February 22, 1999
"There will be an open change on WCW Saturday Night to go along with all the visual changes on Nitro. The changes in Nitro remind me of putting a nice, fresh coat of paint on a house that had just been hit by a Tornado" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: April 12, 1999
"Nash sold very little considering it was a 16-on-1 beating" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: June 28, 1999
"Bret Hart is planning on returning at the (big Georgia Dome show). In WCW's infinite wisdom on Nitro this week, they never once mentioned Hart was coming back but did do an angle to build for the Ernest Miller vs. Jerry Flynn match for the show" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: June 28, 1999
Ugh Michael Buffer. Even back then it was starting to leak out what a piece of garbage he was yet WCW still insisted on paying him a shit load of money to read off cue cards.
Weirdly though he wasn't at the Georgia Dome for the Hogan/Goldberg match.
I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU!!!

On that "list" remember to consider the source. The "observer" isn't exactly the most neutral party in existence. Not saying WCW towards the end wasn't WCW-tastic, but you do have to take some things with a bucket of salt.
edit: hell that goes for them with the WWE now even.
"Scott Hall had problems on the first plane going to Germany, where he apparently got sick and was harrassing Terry Taylor the entire weekend in Germany. He got into a fight with sometime girlfriend Emily Sherman (neice of Turner exec Brad Siegel) including a cake throwing incident. In the dressing room, he made a threat that he was going to do something to Taylor in the ring. This led to a roughly 35 to 40 minute delay in the building before Thunder started with this mess being sorted out. Dave Penzer was trying to kill time telling jokes which only made things worse because the crowd was killing him. The reaction was largely negative, but they weren't throwing things at him and it never threatened to become violent"
If only we knew how much WORSE things would get for Hall...

What exactly are you taking about?
I think he means that the Observer is not always correct in their "facts".

"Jarrett introduced Russo as the guy who turned the WWF around and called him Vince McMahon's best kept secret. Russo came out to the Road Warriors music. He talked about getting screwed by the good ol' boys while a great percentage of both the live and TV audience had no clue what he was talking about. Bischoff came out to tease a confrontation, but they hugged. They announced that all of the titles were vacated. When Sid was teasing he was going to hit Bischoff, Bischoff made a comment about Sid not having scissors. Bischoff was so clearly stunned that the crowd didn't react to the scissors line that he must have thought that they didn't hear it the first time, so he said it again, also to no reaction." - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: April 17, 2000.
The live stuff yes, but there is a ton of stuff "backstage" etc. Also we've all seen the list, no need for us to do three pages of list quotes again.
I really hope funky is brought back into a decent feud, I would like to see him do something long term, a guy like Otunga might be a good fit for him.
I'd like to see him back as well but I can see WWE holding off on putting him back on television till after Mania. Besides if the reports of Vince thinking he's currently too dangerous in the ring are true then I could see him working on that till April.
I can see them keeping Brodus off TV till after Mania
In fact that would probably be for the best, as already they have enough guys on TV to build up Mania matches for that if they were to bring him back, it would have to be for a joke backstage skit at most

He was included in the opening montage credits on Monday, so that has to be a good sign.
They'll just hire a bunch of broken down wrestlers from the early 90s and call it SmackDown Alpha.

I guess they killed the dashing Cody Rhodes one for the most part.

I picked the June 19 one because last time I did June 12
I was pretty drunk and it ended halfway through when I realized it was going to be Hulk Hogan vs Jeff Jarrett and I hate those two when I'm sober
Or maybe because I was drunk it pissed me off
Or both
Too bad for people who watch TNA at least.
I don't think anyone watches TNA
Mainly because they now have Samoa Joe and Magnus as tag champs
Goddammit I don't care if TNA is still awful, I just can't hate them for giving Magnus a belt and remembering that they still have Joe
Steam
Because it's not even bad in that really trainwrecky way that late WCW was
Where you just sit there going "how...you...but...what?"
No, it's bad in the way where you know they think this is a good idea, and you know why they think that, but the idea is still shit
That's what everyone said when this first happened. It still hasn't been answered.
"Russo is a genius" is all you need to know.

Rex King approves.
Yeah it's the Observer, but it's really hard to misinterpret something that you watch as it happens.

And Big Show hasn't really hurt anybody until two weeks ago
This has just been unfortunate circumstances and accidents

Should have had done a backstage segment or two with Santino or Johnny Ace or well anybody
and saying Clay needed more "experience" but then just sent him home? That was dumb, that's why NXT and Superstars exist
