How about, Why DIDN'T WCW put the entire Goldberg vs DDP match from Halloween Havoc 98' on PPV..lols haha Something that been bugging me a little: I seem to remember seeing that match. Was there anyone else who got to see it that night? In fact, I have it on tape and I am pretty sure that I have it in its entirety.

Anybody ever see the old Starcade Battle Bowl? That was stupid. It's a Royal Rumble, except there's TWO RINGS. You throw your opponent into the other ring. At that point, they can continue to fight until all the others have been eliminated from that ring as the battle in the original ring resumes. When one man is left in each ring, they go at it.

In fact I think the first time I heard about the scheduling snafu was when I read The Death of WCW. It was quite something to see the glitch on the Rise and Fall DVD.

Jericho with one arm tied behind his back vs Nick Patrick, a referee. It was also hailed as WCW's first big victory over the nWo. It was late '96, and I think it may have even been Starrcade.

Did Vincent (i.e. Virgil) ever have a PPV match in WCW? Other then the World War 3 Battle Royals? Yes, as said a few posts above you, Vince vs Stevie Ray in a Harlem Street Fight at Uncensored 99. To answer a few things off my head... Wall vs Kiss Demon was SuperBrawl 2000 Jericho vs Nick Patrick was WW3 96 They couldn't build it as a big WCW win against the nWo because Nick Patrick wasn't officially a member yet. People on DirecTV or Dish Network and some cable systems got to see the end of HH 98. I know my local cable system got it, but a friend who lived 10 miles away and used a different cable system didn't. Goldberg's ppv Title defenses were Perry Saturn twice (he had a program with Saturn right as he won the US Title), Konnan (replacing Curt Hennig), Curt Hennig (which was supposed to be Goldberg & Kevin Greene vs Giant and Curt Hennig until Goldberg won the World Title), DDP and Nash. They announced the Junkyard Battle Royal on the Nitro before BATB 99. Sure they could have promoted it better but it's one of those things that you had to watch and pay attention to the show to hear. Anyway my choice, just because it seemed so random and it went nearly 20 minutes was Chris Benoit vs Mike Enos from Souled Out 99.

What Pay Per View had The Wall Vs Kiss Demon? That one. It was one of the 2000 Sullivan-era PPVs, so either SuperBrawl 2000 or Uncensored. I remember they billed it as a "Special Main Event" to satisfy the contractual agreement Bischoff made with KISS that the Demon would be in at least one main event.

I can't believe nobody mentioned David Arquette being involved at all in a match, let alone winning the title.

War Games cage match Fall Brawl 98. I would say more like the whole PPV just about. I mean lets look at this card. Match one: Neidhart/Bulldog vs. Alex Wright/Disco Inferno (This match I don't recall having a reason. Match Two: Chris Jericho vs. "Goldberg" (Jericho faced a guy dressed a Goldberg that was like the size of Mysterio.) Match Three: Dean Malenko vs. Curt Hennig (Good match up until end.) Match Four: Cruiserweight title match Juventude Guerrera vs. Silver King. (Yeah Silver King got a title shot when he was in jobber mode two years going into it. Silver King must equal buyrates.) Match Five: Konnan vs. Scott Hall (Hall in his drunk mode storyline. Could been a good match and it was passable. But the drunk stuff killed it. Hall getting in the "wrong" ring and ext. Match Six: Scott Steiner vs. Rick Steiner (How we got nothing from the built match was horrible, more so being that this was the SECOND PPV they have booked this match to get no closer. It was bad enough that they hyped this match for Road Wild and not deliever. Having Buff fake his neck got hurt again to attack him in the back later. Stupid. This was something to expect on Nitro not PPV. Match Seven: Raven vs. Saturn (This was match of the night. A good build up and it was good. The only match I pop in the tape for really. Match Eight War Games (Now I saw nothing wrong with the three teams. But that where it ended. The match went ok up until Nash came in. That when it went down hill fast. Because right behind Nash was Hogan coming in a One min and 30 sec. The time clock in the screen said. To KO everyone with the slapjack. Nash was only involded in this match for 30 sec. before he just was laying there the rest of the match. Way to look like a strong leader Nash. Then at 20 sec left. The ring fill with smoke for the Warrior. Who is attacked by Hogan. It fills again and he gone. Then Warrior runs down the entrance. Hogan gets out of the cage and runs from Warrior. Warrior breaks out of the Cage and chases Hogan. That was it. DDP goes and pins Stevie Ray.)

I'm just gonna put up that whole time period of Goldberg defending the belt halfway through the PPV against lower-midcarders for the sake of having a title match on the PPV. That never happened though. He was on 2nd to last usually, didn't wrestle at the Sept/November PPV's and main evented Havoc and Starrcade. I think Tank is thinking of just about all the episodes of Nitro during Goldberg's run where he'd defend the title, usually at the 9 o'clock hour when Raw was starting.

Jericho vs Nick Patrick was WW3 96 They couldn't build it as a big WCW win against the nWo because Nick Patrick wasn't officially a member yet. I just watched Souled Out '97 yesterday and they specifically stated that WCW was considering this their first big victory. It could have just been the nWo being heels, but they went out of their way to mention it, and to mention how stupid WCW was for thinking that. This leads me to believe that WCW was considering it as such, kayfabe-wise. But whether I'm right or wrong, a midcarder vs a referee is still stupid for a PPV.

Why did WCW think Hog Wild was a good idea in the first place? Give away a valuable PPV for a bunch of non-fans? Stupid strategy.

The whole show (Slamboree 2000) was solid though. There isn't really a bad match on it. Even Hogan-Kidman is entertaining.

He put on 2 pretty decent ppvs in a row (Spring Stampede then Slamboree). GAB is a toss up and I will always give a thumbs up on Bash At The Beach.

Coincidently enough, I was just reading about that in Death of WCW. It did happen. I forget which one, but yeah Goldberg was in some random ass Battle Royal where he just threw everyone out. You could look at that two ways: 1. Show how badass and Dominant Goldberg was or 2. Goldberg destroyed everyone and someone should have eliminated him setting up a new program.
