I noticed it back then, but couldn't make out what it was until his current run. It's a line of music with musical notes. Its actually a cattle skull with a dream catcher It's Superman!

Yeah... and most of it was godawful. I kind of wish they'd bring Battle Bowl back. Random tag team matches today in WWE could potentially be entertaining. But yeah, most of the matches on that show weren't that good. Too many lower and midcard guys that led to obvious outcomes. The last match with the jobber who got the crap kicked out of him every time he tried to get into the ring was pretty funny, though. And the first match with Cactus/Vader vs. Stevie Ray and Charlie Norris. Norris (who I never heard of) ended up leaving after this match and sued WCW for racial discrimination.

Did anyone notice that Kane and Kole switched places for whatever reason?

ECW was a bigger mess than WCW 2000. Most of the time while watching I had no idea what was going on. People scoring the pinfall win when they are not even in the match and single matches turning into tag team matches and then turning into 6 man tag. What was the story about Taz? How did he turn from an animal who couldn't speak English to the ultimate bad ass?

It's weird though. they announce Kole, Kane stands up and whispers in Kole's ear. Schiavone makes a quick mention of it and then says it doesn't matter. what?!? then later even though Kole's name was already drawn earlier, it's drawn again the 2nd time.
also why have 40 guys in the back if they're only doing 8 matches? seems like a waste flying all those guys in.

Here's the weird thing... there were THREE 'Cole/Kole'. One was Stevie Ray and there were two twins. I was confused as to why they were calling this white guy Kole.

I know most of us are tired of Lawler, but he did say some funny stuff back in the day.

WrestleMania 11 actually seemed like a good idea to someone.

The opening of Halloween Havoc '93 is, without hyperbole, the greatest thing to ever happen to me.

Here's some observations about WCW
- The WCW Cruiserweight Division was far better than I gave it credit for as a kid. Now that I'm an adult, I see things differently and man, I'm glad I got this thing. Some of these things these guys do I can't believe. Psychosis doing a top rope Senton onto Mysterio on the ground for the hell of it, like, what? Damn. - WCW really did steal most of the WWE's wrestlers. I've always heard that but I had no idea it was this much. - Schiavone, Heenan and Tenay were amazing on commentary together. - WCW is was unorganized at times. Guys were talking in the middle of matches as the camera continued to zoom in on them. - Gimmick matches up the ass even pre-NWO debut - I really hate the "generic wrestling promo" that 99% of the guys did

I didn't get it in my area at the time, but I read he called a match offscreen and was very well spoken and then Joey Styles revealed that it was him

That Sunny had a run as "tammy" in WCW in 2000 and it was awful.
And ECW was far more than "garbage Wrestling" I knew they had good technical guys and matches already, but I didn't realise that most of their undercard matches were wrestling of a very high standard.

This was a reminder more than something I learned, but... TOO COOL WAS OVER AS F***.Seriously, I think The Rock was the only guy outpopping them back then. And by association, made Rikishi not be some obscure wrestler.
