Not to steal the OP's thunder or anything, but here's an even longer list: www.ewbattleground.com/forum/ lofiversion/index.php/t27792.html EDIT: Whoops. Found an f-bomb so I won't risk having the whole link up. As long as I can keep my Nitro i'm fine with it.

Quote #67
"Beginning this week, Nitro is going head-to-head with Thunder in Australia" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: January 22, 2001
Sorry, but that is far too funny.
Quote #81
"Poor Tony Schiavone had announced earlier in the show that Kidman and Misterio Jr had won the coin flip and would start. Then, when Guerrera's music was second, he said that Guerrera must have won the coin flip and he and Kidman would start. And then Misterio started with Kidman. The fans started chanting "USA". Schiavone then explained, and I'm not making this up, how the rules of the match make no sense and there is no logic in ever tagging out under these rules. When Rey and Kidman wanted to tag out, Psicosis and Guerrera acted like they didn't want to get in the ring. Since nothing made any sense, they just had a great match" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: January 25 1999
Oh my god! I have this match!

Quote #180
"Savage speared Rodman into a garbage bin. He then threw a guy out of a portable toilet and locked Rodman in and knocked it over. Rodman came out looking none too happy. Gorgeous George came out and gave Rodman a low blow. I guess that's what Rodman gets for raping her in that trailer" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: August 23, 1999
Anyone care to explain this one?

I've got all of these saved on my computer somewhere...I've got a printout of them with my copy of Death of WCW so that people can see just how real this crap was when I loan that book out. It's unreal.
(and RD, I try to get them to buy a copy after they read it once)

Man live, do I miss WCW. If they promoted it as a wacky comedy instead of an actual wrestling show, their ratings would've soared.

Ah, this must be from the fabled "Second Rodman Stint" I've heard so much about. As for the quote, I guess WCW decided to imply that Rodman raped George, hence why Savage felt the need to cover Rodman in feces.

And let me guess. Rodman was the face in the whole angle.

And it was from that show that the "Jersey Triad" tag team of Page, Kanyon, and Bigelow was born.

These are so great to read, I can actually see Meltzer slowly losing the will to live through his comments each passing week.

Bam Bam, Kanyon & DDP? Wasn't the Jersey Triad already formed by then to explain the tag teaming?

If I recall, Ric Flair was not even listed. All of those votes were write-ins. An amazing PR move squashed by WCW, who decided...not to push it and ignore it completely. I agree if WCW was pushed as a comedy, it would still be on today. But, it was supposedly serious wrestling business, so it went to crap. All they had to do was change their time slot and they'd have the viewers. Did they ever think of that? You're telling me not one person thought about the head-to-head with the WWF and thought, "Maybe we should move to Friday." (Or Wednesday or any other day besides 8-10pm Monday.) I give them credit for having the nerve to stay on Monday nights, but it was absurd. I thought Savage was a heel because he allegedly hit GG. The domestic violence people had a crap-fit over it, so WCW corrected it by having her...go back to Savage. Rodman was a face due to process of elimination. He was the only one not completely ruined by this "feud".
