Honestly, I seem to remember WCW potentially having a women's division at that time too. I vaguely remember that around this time when Madusa returned, they brought in Bull Nakano and Aja Kong. Maybe that was pre-Madusa though, I don't rememeber.

But yeah in retrospect, this was probably the worst mistake she ever made.

They did have a women's tournament for it the following year on Nitro. But yeah looking back on it, it was a huge mistake for her to make as she burned a huge bridge with Vince.

Why was Mongo holding a monkey with a cowboy suit on?

Oh yeah, Madusa also threw her career away in the same clip. in the trash can, and she didn't use farm implements either babay!

That was Pepe!!

I'm sure that WCW paid Madusa very, very well, so I wouldn't quite say it was a huge mistake for her to do this.

This ended up being a huge mistake on WCW's part. Bret mentions it in his book. WCW got sued by Vince because they showed a WWF trademark on their program. WCW didn't have a leg to stand on.

Yep. Which renders the whole "Bret could've done the same thing" argument useless. If he did, then WWF could've sued WCW for a LOT of money. Not to mention the fact that Bret's family would've disowned him if he did that.

But didn't Flair do the same thing when he came to the WWF in 92?

Different situation. Technically, it was Flair's belt, in the sense that he owned it. NWA Champions paid deposits on the belt.

So, does anyone else like the idea of Jeff Jarrett, Madusa Macelli and Lex Lugar meeting for lunch monthly? I wonder if Vince has had the footage of their careers cut up and sent to them in ash form. Or maybe, he's saving their redemption for a Kiss My Ass club segment?

Yeah, if someone refuses to return your deposit on the Title, it's yours.

And it's the worst looking Garbage Can ever.

I do like the idea of the WWF title having NWO sprayed on it, before being mailed back to Vince.

Yes, and I believe WWF was sued by WCW, which is why they started pixelating the belt and using a Tag Team belt.

Jim Herd and WCW were also in violation of Ric Flair's contract at the time, whereas Micelli was no longer under contract at that point. It all reeks of mismanagment of WCW from 1991 (which is apparent when you consider that the Flair incident as well as the infamous Disney Tapings eventually broke WCW's ties with the NWA and go tthem sued) instead of poor decision making in 1995.
