The next few weeks of shows should be interesting. Not only for what WCW does, but the reaction to the BodyDonnas new manager coming up. I don't remember too much of that, what was their reaction to Cloudy? Who, the fans or the wrestlers?

I'll be taking a bit of a break so I can get other articles finished, but yeah, I'll have a thing to say about Cloudy.

Love your reviews as always. Now that we are couple of months into it I Just wondered what your personal opinion is on Shawns run as Champion is so far ? Looking back on it (21 years wow) do you think he did a better job than was appreciated at the time or is your opinion the same as it was back then ? You mention Halls return for WCW - I watched a few of those shows on the Network and I was struck at how little work he and Nash did when they first came in. I mean it was literally a cameo here or a promo there for both and that was it and they got paid huge amounts for it - Yet for all that its effect on the business was incredible. Also for WCW decided to run the same Hogan add week in week out which was awful and I felt bad for the other wrestlers who I realised were getting paid less for a guy sitting at home, essentially having a sulk because the fans were booing him.

I no longer feel bad about letting my Liquid Nitro blog go dead since you're doing a way better job of it than I did.

Wrestling works better when you leave them wanting more so booking Hall & Nash so sparsely is a big reason why this was so hot and why wrestling fails horribly when it becomes over saturated as it is today

And WCW would soon start laying the ratings SmackDown on WWF

I wonder if Giant was trying to not hurt Rick, hence the awful chokeslam.
