money.cnn.com/1999/08/03/companies/wrestling/Whatthaf*** ? one of those things is definitely not like the others. Clearly CNN was owned by the same people as WCW so they thought they'd berry the competition by listing The Blue meanie as one of the top stars or something, either that or lazy journalists who don't have a clue what they were writing about, or even stranger perhaps the writer was a big Blue Meanie fan (this is a guy who is so expendable TNA had someone else play his part during their ECW reunion show)

Clearly, that was a man who wanted to know how The Blonde Bytch Project was going to end...
I'm surprised he didn't name Just Joe as a star, too.

Remember WCW/nWo Revenge video game cover with Hogan, Nash, Goldberg and Raven and Raven's out of place, but not so out of place because he was a popular wrestler. This news makes me think of Wrestlemania 2000 cover having Stone Cold, Rock, Blue Meanie and Undertaker.

Speaking of which, is David Otunga still randomly in that opening?

It was Raven's short-lived flunky Lupus who was played by someone else at TNA's ECW reunion PPV, not Meanie.
The thing I remember about Meanie's WWE stint was WWE releasing him, then re-hiring him within a week after the online reaction to his firing was big enough that the company reconsidered.

Must be a joke that the editor didn't catch onto, much like the Ortunga one in the WWE opening that Vince hasn't noticed. (That Ortunga one has to be a rib someone did right?)

This news makes me think of Wrestlemania 2000 cover having Stone Cold, Rock, Blue Meanie and Undertaker. I always thought Raven was on there cos he was head of The Flock at the time. Goldberg was representing WCW and Hogan and Nash the two nWo factions. Given that the roster's broken down into those groups on the game (with a couple more) that was my assumption when it came out.

Could've been an injoke, writer could be a Beatles fan, could have just been one of the colorful (no pun intended) roster names that really stood out when he was going down the list.
