Network/WCW Idea

[dxbang]

I've been re-watching WCW pay per views from the 90s and I'm currently in the Monday Night War era.

Fairly often I see Mean Gene schilling the hotline and there's a huge stamp that says "number no longer active" or something alone those lines. My idea is for there to be a caption that explains who/what Okerlund is referring to.

For example: On the hotline today I will tell you about the guy who has left WCW! He's out! He's packed his bags and left! Call today and find out who and why!"

Caption: Gene Okerlund was referring to Chris Jericho, who signed with the WWE on ______.

I like that idea too. They would do something similar during discussions on the old Legends of Wrestling show.

That would be interesting, but I highly doubt WWE would put forth the effort.

It'd be cool, but also a lot of man hours, probably, versus a blanket stamp.

Wasn't a lot of it crap or hyperbole anyway?

For not a lot of pay off too, due to how often it was apparently just straight rumor/Mean Gene making shit up

I never called the hotline but a friend told me he once called when Mean Gene had a rumor as to who the 3rd man was at Bash at the Beach and Mean Gene speculated it was Vader.

Yep


It's too much work for WWE

That's correct.
You had to call up the Bobby Heenan line for the real scoops.

If you could get through Monsoon calling every show to tell Brain, "WILL YOU STOP!?"
