Why are they putting a wrestling show on Turner Classic Movies? Well we already have Nitro on TNT. Thunder's on TBS, and we already have tons of people complaining about that. "Duhhh the network's tagline is 'very funny' I don't wanna see wrestling." WCW needed somewhere to put the new season of LST, although this season's batch of rookies is kind of pathetic. I mean, Roderick Strong, what kind of weird fake name is that? This will be good for the network in the long run, keep in mind that Nitro is the longest running weekly episodic show in TV history, and Thunder's about to be #2. LST will still get decent ratings, probably the highest on TCM. It's a win win. Now one thing I still can't believe was Bischoff's short term foray into competitive eating, the X-treme Eating League. I've heard he blew millions on that whole thing; especially on that big stadium they built. You mean Shockmaster Field in Atlanta? I heard the Falcons might play some of their preseason games there.

Is anyone tired of Terra Ryzing losing to Chris Jericho? Terra Ryzing might of broken "Stunning" Steve Austin's record of consectutive loses to the same opponent during Jeff Jarrett's "Reign of Terror".
I will be the voice of reason supporting Hulk Hogan's shoot during the entire first hour of Nitro. He has a really good point about all of you internet nerds not knowing anything about wrestling. Do you guys seriously think a wrestling organization with Prototype, Damon Striker, Christian Cage, Phil Brooks, Robert Orton III or Rey Mysterio Jr. as top guys would ever succeed?

I'm still upset that they dropped the ball on Paul Levesque, the man could have been HUGE, and has the looks of someone who could really help put over talent.

Rage in the Cage was so much better than whatever PPV Vince's TNA had this month. I swear it's like Vince doesn't even want his few hundred fans to know that there was a PPV.
Can you believe Hollywood lost to Del Rio, the leader of the Filthy Animals, last night? Insane.
I keep praying for a reunion of The New Millennium Hollywood Blondes. You know, Stunning Mike Mizanin and Flying John Hennigan? They do the best Four Horsemen and nWo impressions...
Also, go nWo Cruiserweights! I think that Matt Sydal has done a great job taking over from Billy Kidman.

It was great seeing Zack Ryder reach that fantastic milestone last night. 652 matches undefeated. Amazing stuff!

Would have loved it.. I preferred WCW over WWE anyways. Since WWE won the war, they have been average at best since 2001. WCW may actually have been the lesser of the two evils (even though the final years were kind of nuts).

After Jarrett's 30th world title win I started losing interest.

I loved it when Bischoff fired Stephanie McMahon after her onscreen trial, especially when he threw her in the garbage.

I think that Matt Sydal has done a great job taking over from Billy Kidman. Sydal is awful, nWo Cruiserweights were WAAAY better when Kidman was in charge. Now they're easily the 7th most important nWo in the company, behind Goldberg's new NWO: The New Generation, Paul Heyman's XWO, Undertaker's Zombie nWo, nWo UK, nWo India, and KISS's KWO (though I really feel the full scale KISS invasion this year was pretty unnecesary)...WCW should just cut thier losses and merge them with Zack Ryder's NWBrO as they haven't been doing much of note as of late. And yeah, Corndog. Hogan's shoot was totally warranted. I just don't think it was necessary for him to announce the release of half the roster on Live TV right there. And why did he lay down for Del Rio last night, complaining about the "Powers that Be" even though he's supposed to be in charge of nWo Nitro in storyline...it really makes no sense...

One of the greatest things of WCW was in 2002 when marty jannety returned after everybody thought that his career was done in 98, and got that epic run as WHC.
He even almost defeated twice Sting on Starrcade and got his deserved retirement match against Flair

It's no wonder Sheamus O'Shaughnessy quit the wrestling business after being saddled with that horrible Danny Boy O'Malley gimmick. I mean, he could have been a big time powerhouse, but no. They stick him in that stupid leprechaun outfit and job him out on Thunder. Maybe it was his punishment for being friends with Paul Levesque.

It's a good thing that show on TCM is only an hour. It's just not that good or exciting as the ones on Monday or Friday. And it's a good thing The Graduate is after it.

DDP representing the wrestlers. Kimberly representing the Nitro Girls. Nick Patrick and the referees, and finally even Schiavone walked out.
Amazing.

Buff Bagwell just came out and wonders what is going on and why Hogan is alone in the ring, and then the Zodiac comes out and keeps yelling Yes! No! Yes! No! Yes! No! Yes! No! Yes! No! Yes! No! Yes! No! Yes! No!
