I think they're doing this because they know that even though they are about to air the Attitude stuff, the crap period in WCW is about to begin, so they might as well balance it out. I wonder though, are we getting '97/98 shows one week and '95 shows the next, or are we getting the late 90s shows once a damn month and the early shows once a month? Well if that is the case thought, the pre NWO Nirto wasn't that much better than Nitro in 98, if at all. Either way, it is not WCW's glory days. But I wonder what they will do when they get to the early NWO days, because a couple of the major NWO events, them attacking everyone in the back including Mysterio Jr. being thown by Nash at a production truck, and the Giant joining the NWO happened during Beniot matches, if memory serves me correct. The shows were REALLY good pre NWO. I mean, the stuff with the Dungeon of Doom was cheesy, but the shows didn't suck.

I liked those pre-nWo Nitros also, they were cool to watch and during the time period when you had wrestling on each week, it was a fun time to be a fan.

The shows were REALLY good pre NWO. I mean, the stuff with the Dungeon of Doom was cheesy, but the shows didn't suck. Yeah the Dungeon of Doom was one of the few the only thing I thought wasn't that good. Other than Mongo's commentaty, even Bischoff play by play. Though the later version when Sullivan was feuding with Beniot, that was okay. But the early cartoon version, took away from the enjoyment a bit, because they were in the main event angle. But I forgot, the reformation of the 4 Horsemen, I thought the Flair / Arn / Pillman / Beniot version was the best 90's version of the 4 Horsemen. I wonder though, if Pillman was still with WCW, would they have moved him from the Horseman to the NWO? Looking back though, in kayfabe didn't Hogan seem a bit self centered and selfish back than when he, Savage, and Sting formed a baby face alliance. His character in the early months of Nitro was just as selfish as Hollywood Hogan. When Sting is attacked by a gang of heels, where is Hogan to make the save? But when it is Hogan that is in trouble, Sting and Savage always made the save for him. I know it is unintional, but Hogan in late 95, early 96 was in his own way self centered, and all about himself, so it set up him turning heel perfectly. In PWI interview, (though it was just stuff the magazine writers wrote, if the wrestlers were talking to them in kayfabe) shortly after the Hogan heel turn, Sting said While everyone was happy for Savage winning the title except Hogan, who instead of congratulating him, wined about getting cheated of the title by the Giant.

Hey, how the hell are they going to deal with the 1995-96 Horseman stuff, including the whole Benoit Sullivan feud?

Hey, how the hell are they going to deal with the 1995-96 Horseman stuff, including the whole Benoit Sullivan feud? Yeah I mean really. As is right now, they are in December 97, they don't have to worry about Beniot playing a big role for a while, till the Horsemen are reformed in the fall of 98. They just gave themselfs a new challenge if they continue with this Beniot ban, but starting over.

At least in the Horsemen, Beniot wasn't the leader or main mouth piece. Like they have done more recentely, they edit out the parts in which Beniot speak in the Horsemen interviews. They could get away with that, and hardly anyone would notice. In the Radiculz was the leader and did most of the talking. Though Eddie talked just as much as he did, if they edit the Radiculz interviews, they would be very short and the main ojenta of the night edited out.

Could anyone give me the listings for Smackdown 3/28/01 episode of Smackdown?
I would like to know what what point in the show, the Beniot / Angle parts happen, and what exactly happened between Beniot and Angle. Know what I will be missing should they edit the episode. In Wrestlemania XVII they mention the two of them put their submission holds on each other.

Wait so are they pressing the reset button on the RAW/Nitro because I'll be pissed. The enjoyable part has been watching these chronologicaly. They started over from 95 but also they will still show the ones where they at now. so you will see episodes of RAW/Nitro from 95 and 97 Well, it will be 1998 in a few weeks. The editing with Benoit is bad though. I remember watching a Nitro show on 24/7 a few months back. I think it was a Henning vs. Benoit match, and the cut the entire thing to show Benoit getting beat down by the NWO and Ric Flair making the save. If it weren't for the fact that Benoit was there, they probably would have edited the entire thing off. Right now, I don't notice any cuts and that's probably more because I don't know if Benoit was ever on these shows to begin with.

On Wrestlemania 1, they edited out "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun", which was on the Anthology release. Not surprising since the Wrestlemania DVD set is over 3 years old. Just because they got the rights in late 2005, doesn't mean they would still have it today.

He was on pretty much every show in 97 & 98, especially towards the end of the year. The 12/15/97 Nitro that is on 24/7 is one of them, but I believe his match vs. Riggs is edited off again.

I watched some of All American Wrestling today, and I wondered if anyone else noticed. What the heck falls out of Andre's pants-leg when he's fighting Big John Studd?

The Roundtable Discussion about Texas seems interesting and of course Hayes kinda comes across as annoying yet again, at least to me.
